I began working on the Toko Nie. 11 as a "slammer" the other night, and I wanted to ask you about a few things, since you are the Nieuport expert. Being a slammer, I don't want to fart around with aftermarket parts and decals. I will use what comes with the kit, even if there are better decals available elsewhere. Anyway, the Toko instructions call for aluminized dope, but I thought that Nieuport 11s were in CDL. So, should Guynemer's and the Russian versions be in CDL? Were any Nieuport 11s ever repainted in aluminized dope? I notice that the Ukrainian version is from 1919, by which time the Nie. 11 must have been one geriatric airplane. Also, just because I'm calling this project a "slammer" doesn't mean I am just throwing it together without regard for a fine finish. And yet I notice that there is a real step between the cowling and the fuselage. Should this be faired in with putty? Or should this step be there? The small number of photos I have don't show this clearly enough. By the way, working on the kit, I must say it grows on you. Here's hoping that Toko does eventually get around to kitting a new Nieuport 17. But only after they do an SE-5a.

CLASSIC: A German company that started in the mid 80's. They had a fairly extensive line but I was never impressed with their quality. I have about 5 of them and I know they will never get built. RAREPLANES, WARBIRDS: Same company. Started in the 70's and had 6 WW1 kits. They were bought by Hannart's in the late 80's and are still producing kits. When they were sold to Hannart's metal parts from Aeroclub were added. The Gotha G.III/IV engine package is available from Aeroclub to dress up the early kits. Very good quality and you might say the beginning of quality vacs. EXPOMODELS: This was a group of kit producer who joined forces for charity. They did two kits, the AVRO 504K and the AD Sparrow Scout. No metal or decals were in the kits. Reasonable quality. Did only two kits. FORMAPLANE: The beginning of a new era in vacuforming. Master mold maker Joe Chubbeck of England did 8 vacs and they were beautiful compared to what we had before. Metal parts from Aeroclub and decals were part of the package. Joe went on to make models under the names of Phoenix and the early Roseplanes. Through his efforts, he spawned companies like Libramaodels, Joystick and a few others. MHW: This company bought the Formaplane name and produced kits other than the original 8. The quality was poor and their business practices were worse. The Caudron G4, Be2c, were two of MHW kits. JOYSTICK: A Les Cooper company and excellent. Again, mid 80's. Fell on some hard times but recently released two new kits. Good quality with decals and metal. LIBRAMODELS: A good company in the mid 80's. Good kits. If I'm not mistaken, the owner died not that long ago. BLUE RIDER: I have several of their conversion kits but have not used them. They are a good company, produced some excellent kits. Seems like they are really into decals at this time. SKUD, EUROKIT AND REPLICA I have no knowledge of so I'm of no help there. That's what I remember off the top of my head. Any additonal questions, I will try and answer.

I have the R-1, and it's not bad. True, you'll have to sand down the "trench-like" ribs, but overall it's pretty good. Imagine this - separate control surfaces! Yes, hard to believe, isn't it? :-) FWIW, Dako has re-released the DH9, and the quality of plastic is much better on the Dako than the Maquette. Plus, I think the decals are a little better. However, don't let that stop you if you don't mind a little work.

Plus, they have a lot wrong with Johnson's machine, especially since he flew a Nie.16. My understanding is that the Nie.11's left the factory in CDL. However, there are recent thoughts that some left in aluminum. Regardless, I still think they were CDL. The photo's I have seen just don't seem *to my eye* to be aluminum. The recent thought is that Guynemer's was overpainted in all blue. > Also, just because I'm calling this project a "slammer" doesn't > mean I am just throwing it together without regard for a fine > finish.

The only museum I've seen that was "better" was Hendon RAF museum, which is about twice as large, with an entire WWI wing. Pensacola is a bit short on WWI exhibits, but there are a few, including a Sopwith F.1 that, as I recall, was a scout on the U.S.S. Texas, or something like that. Sorry to go "off topic" , but their WWII and jet-era exhibits are *outstanding*, especially the way they create involved dioramas around some of the aircraft. They even have an "underwater" exhibit of a Dauntless and Wildcat, showing the in the state they found them in, at the bottom of, I think, Lake Michigan. All the exhibits are in *excellent* condition, too. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 21:47:27 -0500 From: Dennis Ugulano To: "wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu" Subject: Re: Vacuform Collection Message-ID: <199901162147_MC2-66F3-36A@compuserve.com> Matt, Just got back from your page.
