There is also a search engine, so if you search for the information you want and don't find it, go ahead and post. Or just post, we're pretty friendly here.

I have two. I use the Paasche H-model (H-1 tips) for "general purpose" work: wheels, radiators, seats, struts, assorted fiddly bits - just about everything short of the final job(s). I use the Iwata HP-BC for the color and topcoats - after *years* of using the Paasche V-model and never getting the results I was looking for. I wouldn't give up the Iwata for anything - one of the best investments I've made in the hobby. Anything else is like trying to paint with a shovel.

Floquil "Grime" was made just for this. Once upon a time, Verlinden made rubber tubing to scale - I don't know if it's still available, but once purchase has lasted me nearly forever. It is a medium grey finish - I run a strand through a brush loaded with "Grime" and it works well for me.

I was just at the local model mecca today and discovered a new aircraft modelling magazine on the shelves. The editor's column says this magazine is "son of QSM and S3M" magazines. Forgive me if this is not news to the list - I have been very busy lately and have fallen a bit behind on reading postings. The magazine is called "Aircraft Modeller International" and this, Issue #1, is dated Jan/Feb 1999. It will be bi-monthly and is published in Britain. Small print inside front cover says that US subscriptions are availaible through Wise Owl. It is 60 pages (plus covers) of extremely high-quality glossy stock paper. Amazingly, the paper stock and quality seems similar, and even a bit better than, the Datafiles from Albatros - but with about twice the pages. Lots of photographs, both colour and black&white. The quality does not come cheap - it cost $11.25 in Canadian dollars, 4:50 in British pounds. On-topic stuff in the first issue: - 5-page article by Ed Smith about building the Aeroclub Brisfit. This includes one page of detail photos of Shuttleworth's Brisfit and some excellent "in-construction" shots of the model. - Announcements of the Pegasus Blue Max 1/48 Halberstadt CL.II and Bristol F2b Fighter. - photos of a couple of WWI subjects from the IPMS UK Nationals. Off-topic biplane (Gloster Gladiator) gets a couple of pages, too. Warning: "SPAD" on the cover does not refer to what one might expect - rather, Vietnamese Skyraiders. Bummer. IN my humble opinion, if these guys do just one decent WWI subject per issue, but to this level of quality, it is worthwhile.

It is attached to the middle aileron by a wire cable and *it* is attached to the top aileron by the same method. A control cable then goes from the aileron hornforward into the wing and around a pulley inside the wing attached to the front spar. The aileron balance cable goes from there across to the other wind, round another pulley and back to the other apper aileron control horn and thence back to the cockpit in a similar manner to the other wing. You *could* use bungees on the top wing to provide the upward action, but it isn't needed if there's a balance cable. I believe there must be, because I vaguely recall clearview inspection panels in the wings at the pulley positions (and maybe also at the centre section). My database says that there is an Arthur Bentley drawn cutaway in the July 1990 issue. Between that and the Datafile (#22) it should be possible to confirm the presence of a balance cable in which case I'd say that bungee return cords would be unlikely Shane ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 08:43:10 +1000 From: Shane Weier To: "'wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu'" Cc: "'roguerpj@mninter.net'" Subject: RE: Datafiles and a FAQ???

As Alan has already said, you will *not* get flamed for asking old questions here. Most of us have benefitted from discussions of even basic techniques because each and every round seems to draw out another new idea which helps *someone*, and the general good fellowship seen in the posts make them a delight to read regardless of whether the information is new. Regarding the "Datafiles" and *broadly* speaking: This is a series of booklets published in England by Albatros Publications, whose editor/publisher is Ray Rimell, well known for his editorial positions at Scale Models and Airfix Magazine some years ago. The Datafile series is of 73 books to date of about 36 pages, including high quality 1:72 and 1:48 plans, about 100 original photos, colour and history text, detail drawing and photos and several colour profiles. Of the 73, about 50 are still in print or available as reprints. Albatros also publish a number of "Datafile Specials" which are expanded volumes either on one significant type, or a series of aircraft (eg Bristol Fighter, Nieuport Fighters, Albatros Fighters) which have colour photo coverage, more colour profiles and sometimes many pages of drawings. The third series of books are "Mini Datafiles" which cover less well known types or ones where original material is extremely rare in a shorter format. Thsi series also includes booklets on guns - Spandau, Lewis, Vickers so far I believe. And finally there's the "Fabric Specials" of which there are just two so far. The Von Richtofens Flying Circus volume has 68 pages, 8 in colour, and LOTS of photos. Many are well known to long time students, others aren't, but despite the cost of this book, I think it's *extremely* useful as a source of inspiration if you fancy a German aircraft as a change from stylish PC.10 and CDL One warning, the Datafiles are not cheap which is inevitable given the tiny market and requirement for high quality printing on decent paper. Current price is 9 Pounds (I pay A$24, but they averaged about A$21 so my house insurance says that the 6 shelf inches contain A$1600 worth of references!!) And worth every cent! The web site (http://pease1.sr.unh.edu) has a listing which is probably a little out dated. Or ask, and someone from the list will email you one. If you're interested in buying some, ask here and the list librarian (Riordan) might post you one on loan so that you can see if they're worth the expense. And in any case, *many* of the members will be willing to help you research within the bounds of copyright laws by scanning photos to answer specific questions. Hope all this helps, and is not a repetition due to my brief absence from the list Shane ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 17:48:33 -0500 From: Paul Gabert To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Alb.

If you're building it into an A-H machine, you need an Austro-Daimler. Barry has the 200hp kind, which was used in the 153 series (the 53 used the 185hp and the 253 series used the 225hp).

If so maybe you should try one of Rosemonts nice ones Shane ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 18:14:29 EST From: Zulis@aol.com To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: WWI Aircraft parts for sale Message-ID: Pics of parts for sale on ebay, perhaps of interest to detail types.

Found two. One is a twin lewis gunned N17 ( serial #1681 ) at Jerusalem.

Shane, have you been to the Mount Morgan museum? apparently it has a section for Dallas. On another note, some folx may have noticed Xoom has finally stuck advertising on the pages they host.
