Message-ID: <36A26F90.B5F1ABB6@mars.ark.com> That's a new one on me - I do however recall seeing pictures of a 10 that was camouflaged in a dark colour, but all of the N17 types I have seen were aluminum - can you provide more info on the book (or scans if not available)? I seem to recall reading a 'colour' article that indicated that the early (French) camouflaged machines must have been laquered because there was no sprayable form of the coloured dope available to the French until after 1916 or 1917, and the colour borders on these machines were soft. an addendum to my previous post - the IRAS roundels included with the Toko kit are the type applied by the French on machines exported to Russia already marked, but most of the 11's seem to have been marked locally and differ in having white borders outside each colour. The included type seems more correct for the 21 (which is good if you want to use the markings on a 21) and it matches the knight's head. -- Mike Fletcher ___ ., mdf@mars.ark.com |-\|^----! ; mikef@sparc.nic.bc.ca |--n--""*" icq=19554083 @ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 00:33:56 +0100 (CET) From: knut.erik.hagen@eunet.no (Knut Erik Hagen) To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Top Gun Friedrichshafen FF.49C 1/72 Message-ID: <199901172333.AAA20219@login-2.eunet.no> Folks, I just received a Top Gun 1/72 Friedrichshafen FF.49C from Poland, it is moulded in pale yellow resin, no decals or white metal parts. There is an exploded assembly drawing and markings guide for German, Finnish and Swedish aircraft. Wings are split into Port and Stbd. halves for both top and bottom, the latter are to be joined to the fuselage halves. I might try to insert some thin wire to strengthen the seam. General finish is very good, but there are two large and many small pinholes in the wings. Trailing edges are very thin and scalloped, leading edge is thick and need to be cleaned up. Representation of ribs is excellent and attempts have been made to give an impression of cloth. Fuselage is split vertically and has a pretty good moulded interior to which a floor, seat and control coloumn is added. A good start. Floats and tail surfaces of good quality, but I think I will exchange the resin struts with Strutz or Contrail stock. It is a bit expensive at USD 36.90, but the FF.49C was a very large single engined aircraft with a wingspan of almost 17m. Quality of mouldings is very good except for the mentioned pinholes. I have not checked it against plans because I intend to convert it to a Lubeck-Travemunde used for torpedo trials by the Norwegian Navy. So far I have found that I will have to reshape the wing tips and move the front cockpit back to just in front of the gunner/observers. The engine installation seems a bit different as well, but the basic shape with swept back wings is close enough for me. Floats have a different arrangement of steps, but should be enough with a bit of milliput and time. If someone have some good drawings of the Lubeck-Travemunde, please get in touch as I have only some basic outlines and pictures as reference Eders Knut Erik _ _ { | {{{ | ||=| |||+| {|\ || | {|\ ||| | ---====(o)|O\.........................---====(o)|O/ {|/ || | {|/ ||| | ||=| |||+| {_| {{{_| ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 00:33:53 +0100 (CET) From: knut.erik.hagen@eunet.no (Knut Erik Hagen) To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Schneider Message-ID: <199901172333.AAA20212@login-2.eunet.no> Folks, >Pedro wrote: >Can anyone out there confirm that the cabane struts on the Sop Schneider >(and on the Baby, for that matter) were set at the same angle as the >Interplane struts? I can confirm the angle is the same on Norwegian built Sopwith Babys. The top wing is 203mm in front of the bottom one, and both the interplane struts and cabane struts are continous from one wing to another. This is taken from a set of original drawings from which a flying replica is being built for the Naval Museum, so I hope they are correct.... We still have a few copies left of the Sopwith Baby in Norway profile, some of the drawings were reproduced there.

If the PE parts are brass, you can give them a nice flat black color by using a product called "Blacken It". This stuff is available in model railroading outlets. It is a chemical which blackens brass and other non stainless metals and is used extensively by the railroad modelers to make black the all brass rolling stock kits. The advantages of this is that you can blacken all the surfaces of the Spandau jacket without clogging any of the small holes. I have found that when painting brass that has been blackened, the paint goes on much better also.

I have used this trick in the past, but no longer do so. Because the Baking Soda is mostly sodium, it attracts water and after a couple of years will begin to crack, flake, break apart and ruin your model. It has happend to me. I now use the same technique except I use micro balloons (a product used to provide a light weight filler for epoxy work) in lieu of the unstable organic Baking Soda. The Radio Control aeromodelers use micro balloons a lot, so it can be obtained from hobby stores that cater to these fellows.
