If I made it from basswood, as you went on to suggest, or strip styrene, I know perfectly well I'd smash it to atoms somewhere along the line. I've had too many tiny structures fall apart during handling or get paint bottles set on them and get squashed over the years. >I figure the same structure in plastic, well thought out would take >about half an hour. No doubt. But it was two hours I didn't have to worry about work or Kossovo or my ex-wife. Plus with styrene you don't get the pulse-pounding excitement of working with a tool which can give you second-degree burns if you forget and set it down on your lap. But your point seems to be that one shouldn't complicate things unnecessarily, and of course I'd have to agree. Some of us just tend to be ham-handed with fiddly bits, so wherever possible I do 'em in brass to prevent them from being crumbled.

The wings, (less center section), and tailplanes were done with 1:72 5 color upper & lower surface as appropriate. The wing centersection and the front 3/4 of the fuselage is done in 1:72 Nachtbomber lozenge, a large irregular pattern. The rear 1/4 of the fuselage was done in 1:48 lower surface 4 color lozenge. I gave the fuselage a dark blue/green/black spray of ver dilute nature almost as thin as a wash. I did it heavier over the front portion, (can barely see the loz through the ovverspray), and just enough to mute the rear section a bit.

Message-ID: <001501be9c1e$35293ec0$b3f710d1@dora9sprynet.com> Hi Y'all! The name's Dave, and I am a styrene junkie! I am primarily a WWII Luftwaffe modeler, and have done extensive research on several different A/C types, most notably late-series FW-190 D's. I also do a bit of Allied stuff as well. However, lately I have been getting more into WWI subjects, as it is a facet of aviation that I know little about. Also I am running out of shelf space, and the stuff is smaller (I work almost exclusively in 1/48 scale)! Of course that would change if I decided to do an Ilya or some of the other bombers. I also think that rigged aircraft look neat, and a well-rigged model is truly impressive to behold. I also like inter-war and Luftwaffe '46 subjects. Luft 46 is nice because it calls less for strict adherence, and is becoming the hobby to balance out my modeling! Ultimately, if anyone deserves the credit (or blame) for getting me into WWI subjects, it would be Bill Koster. I am near completing his 1/48 SSW D IV kit, and through using artist oils, have come up with a nice plywood look on the fuselage. Next in line are a couple of Eduard kits: the Albatross D III and Nieuport 17. They look great in the box, hope I can carry the projects the rest of the way through! What else is there to do in Birmingham, AL anyway? Anyway, looking forward to learning more about the subjects, and hope that some of the tips and stuff that I've learned might help you too.
