I have the 1/72 scale decal, but do not have the Windsock issue that 
covered the a/c.  I knew there was an article somewhere but could not 
remember where I had seen it. I know the colors were only a guess, 
but that is much more than I have now. Would it be possible to a copy 
of the article and the cover photos?

I hate to be rude guys- but I only speak two languages, English and bad

Yup, seen that one. A picture also appeared in a Scale Models article July
1981. The picture's a little small but still interesting. The article by
Woodman detailed the SSW DI/III/IV

They brought him back for a few issues a couple of years ago.  You may

OtF Vol 10 No 2 has two pictures, one it looks like "right after"
internment, and the other a ways after.  Both pretty clear.

Fernando,
Besides wwi modeling, I also dabble in model railroading. There are a
number of on-line sources. One that you might want to try is Walthers.
Their site is called the Model Railroad Mall.  Walthers is a large and
long established firm located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  They supply lots
of hobby shops and have quite extensive catalogs for various model
railroad scales.  Check out their site at www.walthers.com

Hi All,

Does anyone have any idea as to how many aircraft were interned by the Swiss
by the finish of the war?

Oh yeah, I remember the Hammer getting bounced by a flight of black DH5s. My
introduction to the Hammer was via his grandson in a big $1 Batman Special.
These were realy big books .. about 18x12 IIRC. Batman goes to a movie
production which is being sabotaged. . turns out by the grandson and the two
have a big fight in a SPAD and a DR.I until the grandbrat gets his scarf
wrapped around the prop and yanked out.

Greetings all,

I bring forth words from the evil Scottbeth of eBay. As an aside I spent $6
each for all my Profiles, so it was a deal at $156

Way to go Dave !!!!!!!!

Bob

----------
hahahahahahahaha!
You crack me up, Bob!
Am I really in/famous?
I WISH I had a money printing machine!
You can tell the guys, I had to give up BEER for two years to scrape
together the funds! LOL
As an amusing aside, my little sniping strategy just back-fired on me and I
was outbid by vulture2 on a book I REALLY want!
"Aircraft Camouflage and Markings - compiled by Bruce Robertson -
Harborough/Harleyford"
I had to send him a post begging for him to resell it to me, so I'm sure
he's in fits of glee right now! :-(((

As for the bound profiles, there were 44 of them, so $156 is less than $4
each!!!! Large outlay, but cheap, at least to me. I  could spend a year or
so 'collecting' them from a dozen sources, but I don't get to travel much.
I've already had two people ask me if I'd resell to them, so there must be
quite a few 'money-bags' around!!!

I'll try again to subscibe to the mailing list!

Greetings all,

Dr Subliminal in his wanderings has come across some photos and drawings of
Curtiss and Felixstowe boats in WW1 Aero No.109. However he states it is a
copy of a copy and he is unable to decipher just what they are exactly. As I
am curious to see them for myself, could anyone enlighten us as to what said
photos are of?

Also if anyone knows of any Curtiss H-8 or H-12 photos to please pass that
on as well. I have a few, but need some more views to complete my profile
master for these boats.

regards, 
         Bob Pearson

I don't think the point is really about the (beautifully expressed) French
- I'm more than happy to see an occasional message in the vernacular - it
is more a reminder to new members that general correspondence goes to all.
Once you get into private discussions or negotiations, they could better be
transacted off-list, by direct mail.

(Maybe the bunnies could go there too?)

I have in my possession 

1) a scan of the 7 Swabians decal sheet
2) An ALPS printer

I don't (yet) have any decal paper though, nor a 'white' cartridge.

On offer:

I send anyone who requests it, off list, the scan of the decal sheet. 
That listee then colours in the decal in a software package of their
choice.

The listee then sends the scan back to me, and I print it onto decal
paper for them, 'future' it and post it to them.

If the receipient likes the results and thinks it worth it, they could
make a small contribution to cover my costs, but that isn't obligatory
in any way.

Let me know-but please note that I'm just starting out-it may take a
while.

Regards

I've been trying to collect these for years. The graphic novel was by
George Pratt and involved a reporter who had been a tunnel rat in Vietnam
visiting the dying Von Hammer in hospital. The two trade horrific memories
of war via really haunting story panels by Pratt. Von Hammers Jasta flies
Fokker DVIs!

Hi Fernando,

Here are a couple:

http://www.ghqmodels.com/   GHQ - mostly photo-etch stuff for model
railroading and ship building.

http://texnrails.com/  THis one is mostly N-scale stuff. You can also
try Caboose Hobbies:
www.caboosehobbies.com 
They have a large stock and claim to be the biggest supplier of model
railroading equipment.

Message-ID: <s6a2eb74.025@transcrypt.com>

I have been using this for some time now.  It leaves a layer of blackish oxidation on photo-etch brass, that can rub off on your fingers when handling.  IMHO you still need to finish the parts with paint or whatever you prefer, but it does a very nice job of preventing the brass color from being seen on the inside of rolled Spandau jackets.

I've been meaning to try this stuff for years- thanks for bringing it back to
the forefront of my brain. How does it react to various treatments- washes,
dry brushing etc.?

We're here.
I get unsubscribed from time to time, too. Apparently a message is rejected
by my mail server or something and the wwi-server unsubscribes me.
Just resubscribe, if if happens really often maybe you should take it up
with your mail service.

There isnt any such thing as a bargain on ebay anymore, there was three months ago but since they went public on the stock market and all the media attention that seems ot go with internet stocks, every man and his monkey has been bidding and over bidding for everything short of an unwashed toilet bowl. It is a sellers market on ebay at the moment, and if I had anything worth selling, I would be flogging it off.

I think part of the blame lies with ebays incremental automatic bids they definately lie in favour of the seller rather than the bidder. Mind you I bid 75$ for a book and 50$ for another at the same time and lost ( when I set myself a level of 40$  for each ). So I am as guilty as next of inflating values.

Not sure about ready-mades, but I have a pretty good example of the artwork.
If there aren't any available, maybe I could set the file up and you could
send it to Uncle Sniffy to feed to his ALPS.

Thanks for the wisdom

However, this sounds like a bit of business !  It's the " flood it with
CA " that sounds scary - Nerves of steel and no margin for error at all
