Do you mind telling me what your reference was? I'm guessing the old Profile. (Incidentally, even if I can't find photographic evidence, the scheme is very tempting) << You are correct as to my reference. It is the Profile 163 circa 1967. I have been intrigued by this scheme since that time but never had the nerve to paint it until recently. It is very interesting scheme and when a reference lists the pilot and observer's name, the squadron and date, I have a tendency to go for it. Maybe the plane was lost just after it was painted and is stuck in mud in Flanders somewhere. Maybe the guys only talked about painting it that color and died before they got it finished. Who knows? I also came in on the tail end of a discussion as to how far forward the paint scheme went. Is that so important? Who cares how far it went? Who is going to correct you? The Pilot? When he shows up and tells me the colors are wrong, I will change them. At that time he can also tell how far forward the scheme went and I can change them at the same time. My point is lets not get so lost in details that we lose the joy of our hobby. We are trying to represent planes that lifted off the ground 80 years ago, no color photography and the fading memories of 100 year old men, if they are alive. I build models I like and represent them as accurate as possible with the information I have. That brings me a great deal of pleasure and that's my point. Build what you like. It may not be 100% accurate, but build it anyway.

While this information would help me decide on a subject I'd be loathe to treat it as evidence of the scheme ever existing. It's not too difficult to imagine the artist reading a description in someones diary saying "Franzie and I painted out Walfish with a natty scheme of scales today" and deciding to do an artists impression of it *without* making that plain in the caption. While I sometimes have difficulty with Ray Rimells interpretations I admire him for being one of the first to admit where his profiles are speculative, and having all too often discovered schemes to be guesswork I prefer to see a photo *before* I commit paint to plastic in a project which I may take literally years to complete. > Maybe the plane was lost just after it was painted and is > stuck in mud in Flanders somewhere. Maybe the guys only > talked about painting it that color and died before they > got it finished. Who knows? I also came in on > the tail end of a discussion as to how far forward the paint > scheme went. The discussion started out with me looking for the (so far) elusive photographic or documentary evidence the aircraft ever existed. In looking, I found two different interpretations, and was interested to know whether *both* were guesses based on the same partial view, or whether *one* artist had evidence the other did not. Or, indeed, whether on artist copied the other, and chose a different treatment. > Is that so important? Who cares how far it went? I do. I don't care how far it goes on *your* model, Robert Karrs (if he ever did one) or any one elses. That is YOUR business, and your interpretation. That being so, I'll admire the result (I do), and if I were ever to judge the model, I'd give the benefit of the doubt since *your* reference shows this scheme as depicted by you. But I *do* care how far it goes on the real plane, and even more so whether it *ever* existed, because unless I can find evidence of that, I won't build it. This goes back to the individuals motivations in their hobby. They need not be the same to be "the right way" of seeing and doing things. My attitude is that the *only* test of whether this or any hobby is being done properly is if you are enjoying it. I get *my* enjoyment one way, you another, the other 150 list members presumably have 150 different motivations. > Who is going to correct you? The Pilot? Although (so far) we have no known photo it seems unlikely that I'll have the experience of a judge (or someone else) saying "It never existed because there isn't a photo". But so long as there isn't a photo of a nipple pink Halberstadt with apple green polka dots and chrome yellow candy stripes I might as well make one of them that colour, and claim it was never photographed. Hey, *maybe* there was one. I might produce a profile, get it published, and thousands of modellers can paint theirs that way too. AND - good luck to them if they enjoy doing it. At least the pilot won't come up and claim the colours were wrong. > When he shows up and tells me the colors > are wrong, I will change them.

But the details you decry are where *I* get my jollies. > We are trying to represent planes that lifted off > the ground 80 years ago, no color photography and > the fading memories of 100 year old > men, if they are alive. You might profitably go back through the archive and read some of my responses on the subjects of colours and markings. You'll look long and hard without finding any absolutist declarations anywhere. I agree entirely with you about the above. > I build models I like and represent them as > accurate as possible with the information I have.

I'm sorry to say that I doubt I'll *ever* build a 100% accurate model, but part of my pleasure is knowing that I've exhausted all avenues of enquiry before I start a model - though unknown references have a habit of turning up later. This is why I asked what your reference was, not to criticise you or the model, merely in the (sadly unfulfilled) hope that you'd seen a source photo I'd not so far been able to find.

Gannon himself?), even if he doesn't rig the models. Quite possibly. Mr Gannon won a UK IPMS National Champion as a junior, probably over 20 years ago now. He's a pretty good modeller. There *IS* a funny story about this, and if I can ever find the photo I have of his winning model I'll prove whether it's an urban myth or actual fact. He is supposed to have won with a scratchbuilt model of a Caproni Ca.4x (whichever it is, huge triplane bomber) The story goes that he won, received the trophy, photos were published then some swine pointed out that there were either one too many or one too few bays in each set of wings. Frankly, in that particular aircraft with umpteen bloody struts *I* would've left one bay out, saving eight struts and a lot of rigging! >And the Halberstadt CL.II is really something to see. Beautiful isn't it? Having not long completed his 1/72 Pegusus kit of the same aircraft in the same scheme it's a pity that I'll probably prefer to use a different scheme.

This places them in the same class as diecast cars as far as I'm concerned - very nice, but not unique, short run models from a production line.
