The Rimmel scheme on page 30 of WWI British Airplanes looks to be identical to the plan view in the in action book, at least in the layout of the shapes. The problem I'm having is that all the photos I've come across seem to be of either the third prototype, Toko's E.5431, or a single side view of the in action Salamander, F 7801 in Vintage Warbirds No. 5. The two right side views are very similar. The top view of E.5431 definitely looks more like Toko's pattern. > Go with either scheme as they both are documented. Use the Methuen > and FS as color guides and go from there. It is a very striking aeroplane. I concur. I think I'll use Toko's pattern, since it matches the only photograph I have of the top of the airplane and pick whichever colors seem to match the range possible given the CIM 733 mixes.

Message-ID: <199902052316_MC2-6971-1BBC@compuserve.com> A couple of weeks ago I discovered the WW1 server, and promptly dived in without introducing myself, so here goes.... I have been building handicraft stuff of all kinds for many years, and for several years recently I was a keen 72 scale modeller, focussed on post WW2 RAF stuff. Then I started to get 'modellers block', I had built most of what interested me, and a lot of stuff just for the sake of completeness. Anyhow, I got convinced that my modelling was getting worse rather than better, so I just quit for a while. What got me restarted was discovering 48 scale (you can get a lot more into a model) and WW1 (as a result of talking to folks at Old Warden in the UK). That and discovering modelling groups on the Internet. I have been an IPMS member of various clubs for a few years, but with one or two exceptions I never really got on with them. Some are very cliquey, if you are 'in' great, if not don't bother. I got a lot of 72 Brit kits, more than are ever going to get built, and a lot of Brit RAF reference stuff, but not much WW1, if anyone wants to trade?

Thanks. I'll get back to those who wrote me off-list. I am now working on an Eduard Albatros D.V which is my first "serious" model in the standards of this List. When I was a kid in the 1960's, I could build an Aurora in an afternoon (the rigging with sewing thread took another afternoon). Since I returned to WW I modeling and joined this List, my output for 1998 was a practice Glencoe Pfalz D.III and SPAD XIII. Now that I am trying to imitate the "big boys" on the List, my output has slowed to a crawl. I have spent the night looking over photos in Jane's and the NASM D.V book trying to decide how I can detail the Mercedes 180 HP engine and if I can, or should, try to scratch-build valves and rockers for it. Living in a small town, I model in a vacuum. I have never been to a model show and my work schedule makes it unlikely I will ever travel to one. I know several members of this list are proud of their scratchbuilt, detailed small parts. So far, I have scratchbuilt much of the cockpit detail in the Eduard Albatros D.V. However, I am really curious as to what others have done. Would there be any interest in devoting a section of the WW I Modeling Page to "Small Part Detail"? Instead of photos of an entire model, it can feature photos of a detailed engine, a control stick, instruments, etc. It can also feature Matt's 1/72 Nieuports. ;-) Fernando Lamas ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Feb 1999 22:55:52 -0600 From: Matthew E Bittner To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: "Small Part Detail" Photos on the WW I Modeling Page Message-ID: <19990205.225554.-784701.0.mbittner@juno.com> On Fri, 5 Feb 1999 23:46:11 -0500 (EST) Fernando Lamas writes: > Would there be any interest in devoting a section of the WW I >Modeling >Page to "Small Part Detail"?

Now, the number I have started... ;-) So many models, so little time...

I never intend to build another RR Falcon III engine as long as i live, but neither can I see any of the crankcase, most of the ancillaries or engine mounts on the one I built - despite it (more or less) all being t here.

I'll need to get some because the Issota Fraschini engine I'm scratchbuilding needs two identical mates and I'm not capable of duplicating with the accuracy needed unless I cast them. Thanks for the offer of help though (incidentally, Aussie members - who do you recommend as a source of RTV and resins? My usual supplier has gone under) Shane ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Feb 1999 00:11:51 -0500 (EST) From: mkendix To: "charles t." Subject: Re: Help - please!
