A friend at a swap meet, knowing my collecting habits when W.W.I subjects were available, found a 1/28 scale DRI and took it for granted that I would want it. He was holding it out of sight of everyone else until I walked up to say Hello and check out his table. I couldn't turn it down knowing he went to extra effort to have something for me. I am in need of a variety of 1/72 aircraft subjects and offer this kit as tradebait: #4417 W.W.I Aces made by Revell of the Fokker DRI. Box states kit is molded in red. is still in shrink wrap. Box in very good shape. Listmembers get first offer on this one since this list is the first place getting notified. If someone is interested please e-mail me offlist.

Naval program accelerated Message-ID: Hello Everyone, Just wanted to announce the latest subjects to be completed since my last update. Due to a lack of British subjects on a local club's roster, the following vessels had to be finished ahead of schedule in the 1/2400 scale fleet. Benbow, Colossus, Hercules, Neptune, St. Vincent, Collingwood, Vanguard, Bellerophon, Temeraire, Superb, Dreadnought, King Edward VII, and Commonwealth. With six additional sister ships of the King Edward class in the yard at various stages of completion. I have nearly finished "The Grand Fleet 1914-1916" written by Admiral Viscount Jellicoe. which will be followed at a later date by "Jutland, The German Perspective" by V. E. Tarrant. Aircraft production will be resumed as completion of the King Edward class sisters approaches. Until Then........ Happy Modeling!

I just got the Profilpack Albatross D.III for my birthday, and after years of this aircraft being depicted as purple and green wing tops, the instructions put it as three colors. My understanding is that Voss got this plane second-hand, and while it had the centered radiator, it had the two color wings. My references are not too clear, either. Anybody got a better picture that shows the upper wings to good effect? My refs have the upperwings washed out in glare and the lower wings deep in shadow. Help, Please?

Don't remember just HOW I did it, but I must have done it because the model in front of me has 2 guns, 2 feeds, and 2 shutes. Keep in mind there is a left gun and a right gun. The right gun has the shute that's angled forward. Or at least that's what it looks like to me inside that tiny little space. Best I can recall, I had the guns with the associated hardware assembled before I tried to attach them to the mid wing and magazine. Aside from that, all I can say is to take yer time and have fun. :) Whoever the retard was who drew up the instructions > obviously had been smoking crack before he picked up his pen.

Not here. After the last 7 days in bed, (two in hospital with pnieumonia), I can assure you that heat is the least of the problems in "Sunny" Brisbane. Wait for me to whinge when the high 90's weather returns in November.

About a week back NY hit 101F/39C for the only time this summer and utilities went out, ppl got heat stroke and the local economy dropped to zero like snow storm days. I regaled ppl with tales of 46C/120F heat ( When my wife and I were in Australia it was 40C in the house with the AC on ) and the hot blustery westerly winds that blow in from the centre of Australia 7 days at a time, bringing with them the bush fires and smoke so thick you could carve it. Id laugh about NY dying in 39C ( there was a breeze that day ) except the cold in winter here nearly bloody kills me. About Nov/Dec in the US is when I start whinging about the weather too. The whinging usually coincides with those horrible arctic winds that come pelting in from Canada. cam ______________________________________________________________ Get Your Free E-mail and Homepage at http://www.prontomail.com ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 1714 **********************
