According to my listing, he never did a Tabloid. Still, I'm glad to hear that John is still alive and well. It's quite sad, however, that you are his only remaining WW1 customer - back in the "dark ages" of WW1 modeling, John Tarvin was one of the few keeping the flame alive with his Airframe vacs. Plus, he was one of the few places that actually made a serious effort to stock the modest number of other WW1 offerings from Europe and elsewhere. I remember buying a sheet of German lozenge decals by ABT there in the early '70's. Dreadful decals under current standards but I was absolutely _thrilled_ as my attempts at hand-painting lozenges had never worked. I actually won, I think, a second place at an IPMS regional with that ABT adorned D.VII. I suspect the judges were unaware of the existence of the decal and awarded the second place merely because they thought I was _really_ good at "painting within the lines" and thought that ought be worth something. We few WW1 Oregon fanatics back in the dark ages used to send an emissary up to Burnaby every year or so with a shopping list plus an extra $10 bill with instructions to "pick up anything that looks interesting". ($10 went further in those days!) I got to do that run a couple of times myself and John's shop was, literally, the Holy Grail! I still have a few Airframe vacs down in the basement which never quite got built before they were overtaken by newer and better kits. They are crude by current standards but in the early/mid '70's, they were the _only_ readily available WW1 kits at all save for the occassional Airfix and Revell offering. John provided the esoteric - the Bristol M.I.C., Sopwith 1 1/2 strutter, Morrane-Saulnier "L", Halberstadt D-II - things we were pretty sure we would never see in injection molded kits. Ah, well, I ramble on too long. But John Tarvin does deserve a short salute in recognition of his efforts to keep the WW1 modeling torch alive in the times when just about no one else was much interested in doing so. And, it is sad that he has only one WW1 customer today. I suppose it is economically inevitable that the Eduards of the world will eliminate the Airframes of the world but it is still sad. Give John my personal thanks and salute for all he has done for the hobby in general and WW1 modeling in particular. Cheers and all, -- Bill Shatzer - bshatzer@orednet.org "If you can see the tracers, the little piss-ants have missed you."

Ken, I used Field Drab for the PC10 color on the Eduard Sopwith Triplane (that Matt just posted photos of to the Ft. Crook web site). In spite of what any "color policemen" may say about it, I happen to like the color.

Readers Gallery photos can take anywhere from 2 1/2 months to 2 years.I wrote a couple of articles back in the 80s- From mailing to publishing the first took about 4 months, the other about 6. I don't know if they still do it, but FSM used to give first-time authors a really nice coffee cup.I still treasure mine!

Schwartzkopf Theres a big difference between buying an article for publication and asking permission to photograph your model. Paul Boyer has shot thousands of those photos over the years and only a handful have ever been published. While its flattering to those of us whose models are selected, it is not a committment from Finescale. I've often suspected that the contest photo shoots are just to prove tax deductibility for the travel expenses.

Subject: WWI German Truck Message-ID: <34D1FC9B.10A6@land-roverco.com> HI: Reviresco has just released a 1914 Daimler-Marienfelde ALZ14 Armee lastzug in 1/72nd scale. This is a must for WWI gamers. The vehicle was also used by the German Army during the twenties and thirtys. Many of them wound up in far away places; several being seen in China during the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. See it at http://www.halcyon.com/shamrock Thanks.

I will dig out my back issues of Windsock over the weekend (it's Friday here), and post the address, etc. about Aerocam next week, as I will be off line until then. By then, some one else may well have beaten me to it. I've no idea if Aerocam is still a going concern, and I don't trust my memory to say more than I said in my original posting, about Aerocam. The colors I have are: PC-10, PC-10A (slighter lighter in hue), NIVO, PC-12, and RFC CDL. If there are others, I don't know about them. I bought these via direct mail order years ago after reading about them in Windsock, and they are still in good "working order." They go on well by brush and by airbrush, and while I do not claim to know how truly accurate they are, they look good to me. I'd love to hear the opinions of others about these paints, if anybody out there in cyberland has used them? Ciao!

I wonder if I ever gather courage enough to try to build it. Ivan ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 871 *********************
