I'm afraid I made a boo-boo on the tail cross of Ltn. Greven's Jasta 12 SSW D.III on the Internet Modeler website. The cross should really be much larger than shown. However the earlier watercolour profile on my website is correct in it's depiction, although it should have no spinner fitted. In my defence I'll say even SSW D.III expert Richard Bennett missed this gaff in his viewing .. sorry to anyone who has built Greven's D.III using the IM profile.

FK8 Message-ID: <36CD5352.1EB5@prodigy.net> Pegasus' Armstrong Whitworth FK8 arrived in the mail this week. The kit portrays the early version of the Big Ack, with the complicated landing gear. The quality is typical of recent Pegasus kits: fine exterior detailing, thick fuselage moldings, basic cockpit. I don't have Datafile yet, but the Pegasus kit looks like the drawings in the Harleyford book and Karstrom's plans in Aircraft Archive Vol. 1. The shape of the kit's lower rudder matches the photographs better than the plans. Pegasus includes white metal parts for the radiators, exhaust and guns. Strut stock material and templates are provided for the interplane struts and landing gear. The white surround to the roundels was out of register on my decal sheet.

I have always bought kits for building, and not for collector value, but being these are limited issues, does the value increase significantly with "supply and demand"? I was thinking of starting on the Junkers J9/DI. If it has a considerable price on today's market, I need to locate more reference material before I start it, so I don't screw it up and cannot find/afford another one to replace it with. Paul A.

I have included the two cockpit photos in the set as well as some detail shots. I also sent Allan a set of 10 pictures from the SPAD XIII that resides in Phoenix (museum name escapes me at the moment). He has been kind enough to add them to the web site. The pictures aren't too bad. A bit dark perhaps but serviceable. Allan informs me that I need to put some text together for these pictures. I agree. But I am afraid I know little or nothing about this particular aircraft. The pictures were done for me by my flying partner as documentation for a future project. Anyone out there know anything about this bird? If so let me know and I will compile the data and send it to Allan for inclusion on the page.

I started working on the nacelle, and I remove the plastic from the front part of the nacelle, fwd of the pilots seats, and build the structure as it actually was, then I cover it with paper, the one used with flying models, and this job gave a nice result. I rebuilt the floor, according to some photos taken at the Caproni ca3 during restoration in a USA Museum.( might be Dayton ?) then comes the wings, the only attention here is to reinforce the joint among the 3 sections, so I drilled holes and insert metal pins. I used the p/e struts, and to attaine a correct aerofoil I sandwiched between 2 plastic stips, sand it and cover it with a generous amount of white glue, then painted. With a jig I placed the main parts on drawings, align everything and glued the struts, then removed the top wing, drilled holes for the riggins to pass trough, rigged, glued and let it dry. Then some sanding and voila', finito. The undercarriage required only some clean up from the various flash, not difficoult but time consuming. ciao Franco Poloni ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 16:19:33 -0400 From: Alberto Rada To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Ansaldo SVA 5 Message-ID: <36CDC755.E8021358@argonaut.net> Hi I need some info on the SVA's cockpit, What was the seat's colors ?

In researching our balloon kits we surmised that the German balloons were a dark slate gray or green gray. In one of the C&C Int. they have a number of paintings of the French /British Caquot they show them as kacki to almost OD The Caquot balloon at the USAF museum is a dark kacki. Now that I've opened a can of worms, anyone else have something to add?
