I think both reviewers mentioned a wing warp, but nothing beyond repair. I believe I had a really bad example. I should have returned it. But AM should never have passed it on to me in the first place. For the record, I normally don't think warping is a big deal, and find that it is usually not even necessary to correct it with hot water; often, simply cementing one warped piece against a straight one, or one warped in the opposite direction, will cancel the warp. But not something with the compound warps my Yak kit had. Yuck! For comparison, I got the A-3 Whale from Haseboys for Xmas. The upper wing piece has a large span and is very thin; tailormade for Warp City. Nothing. Beautiful. Rarely seen its equal. Haven't done a whole lot of work on this in a week, but this kit so far *has* been a shake-the-box kit. I also thought that the Yak's engineering was generally about as arse-brained as you could ask for, including a molded-in radiator that needs to be hacked off in order for the cockpit assembly to slip in as per instructions. I think the IM reviewer even mentioned something along the lines of Bill Bosworth conceding that that wasn't a good way of doing it. >I get brain fever just thinking about AM doing any WW I model- a DH-4 or 9 >would suit me just fine.

Robert, you're being very coy. You could scratchbuild all the details yourself better than AM or anyone else could ever do. And I don't think you'll *ever* see anything WW I-ish from AM; it's just not their scene, from what I gather. Anyway, I am *perfectly* happy with the sort of quality Eduard turns out these days. With the exception of my ham-fisted attempt to scratchbuild the correct fuselage cross-member support, I couldn't believe how well the Eduard Albatros D.V kit went together. Everything just aligned itself on its own; I merely watched. Same with the Pfalz (er, the Tripe will be a different matter). I just wish they would release more stuff. And I was all ready to buy the only D.III in town last week when I lost my job (though it looks like I *may* have found it this week, so not to worry; see http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s=WOW.AL&d=t for the whole sordid story, and get some idea of what I do in those few hours when I'm not in the basement building models, or picking up after an almost-3-year-old).

SAMI=Scale Aircraft Models International or ? My biggest problem (aside from the price) with SMI's Wind in the Wires is that Paul Monteagle (and whoever else contributes) refuses to even attempt to rig the very nice, expensive models from the likes of BM, Pegasus, Waldo Resins et al. Not to be too harsh on the old boy, but we seem to have a pearls before swine situation, wasting nice kits on a slacker.

This annoys me too, and the excuse that he doesn't have time to do it and still meet publication deadlines doesn't cut it (says he who has refused to do reviews because he can't meet deadlines at all) OTOH the rigging is th esingle biggest fear for most who'd like to build a WW1 model but won't.

And I "second" the previous question...."du Doch > Nicht" decals in 1/72nd? > Mikedc > "Der Rote Modellflugzeugbauer" Thanks for the kind words about the models. I will add more soon. The first shots were done in a hurry to see if the system would work. I will reshoot the ones on the page along with some of the other models and try to get a bit better lighting. To answer some of the questions, I will have to do a bit more research, but I think the DVII decals came from Almark. The kit was done one weekend just prior to the Miami Nationals. The main test was to see if the red color on the wings would bleed through the white stripes. As you can see, it didnot. The lozenge decals were also Almark. Didn't do too bad. It bagged the Third place Trophy and the Out of the Box Trophy. They had both 4 and 5 color upper and lower sheets in both 1/72 and 1/48 scale. The wing stripes are a single decal. It was a bit tricky to work with a decal the size of the wing, but the effect is nice. The instructions were to paint both sides red, then start with the lower surface working from the trailing edge to the front. There is a definite indication where the leading edge is supposed to be. The decal is then folded over the top and back to the trailing edge. After the sheet is in place, it is left to dry. When dry, the tips and trailing edges are trimmed and construction continues as normal. If you can call building a painted and decaled model normal. If I find any thing to indicate that the decals came from any other source, I will let you know. The paint on the W 29 will sound a bit strange, as it is all right out of the bottle,, no mixing or blending. The green on the fuselage sides is Aeromaster RLM 02 Gray. After it had dried for about an hour, it was buffer with a soft cloth and the green color came out as you see it. The CDL is Polly Scale Soviet Sand. I used some paint from an old tin of Humbrol (30 +years old) Mohogany. If there are any other questions, just let me know.

IIRC I have a set made by Blue Rider with this aircraft in 1/48 and a HUGE decal to wallpaper the top wing as John has just described.

I would think it much easier to do this in resin - they make a silicon rubber (I think it is) material specifically for making molds for resin castings. Aeroclub does vacforms because vacforms are cheaper over a mid-sized production run. But copyright laws would prevent you from taking molds off someone else's kit for anything other than yer own use so unless you are anticipating building entire squadrons of these things yourself, your "production run" is going to be quite limited indeed.
