While I agree that Monovelle should have just gone ahead and corrected the tooling before they released the kit, I have two of these kits in the 'to do' pile and I don't feel that I wasted my money. The top wing looks like an ugly turd OOB, but the fix is SO easy. The fuselage, while needing some work, is also a workable fix, and a lot easier than the recent FSM article would have us believe. As for the big Albatross, I don't know how serious the project was either. Maybe Eric could chime in here and give us his opinion based on what he heard. But if they ever do release a big Alb., I will be buying more than one.

I had one of my "brilliant", (spell that backfire), ideas. The model was dusty and I decided to spray it with alcohol from the airbrush. I had fantasys of blasting away the offending crud and restoring the model with a few passes of the airbrush. Well the model was enamel painted and coated wih Testors dullcoat made semi gloss with some clearcoat. The alcohol reacted with the lacquer to produce a white frost over most of the model. After disassembling it I found that even more alcohol would allow me to roll off the lacquer coat with a Q-Tip. It cleaned up well and I only had to repaint one side of a lower wing panel and re do the decals. Now finished in Future it is back on the shelf. Now that the W-4 and an off topic glider/trainer are done, the I'lya is back on the bench. I had to take a break after 2 months of straight I'lya. All 4 engines/radiaitors/prop assemblies are done. The interior is detailed and the fuselage halves joined. The wing detail has been sanded off and I have begun adding external rib battens out of copper armature wire. wrapped and ca'd at each station. Very hard to get just right, but too late to stop now. I have been adding the reenforcement tapes out of decal material to the aft fuselage. Can't wait to finish it and tackle some simpler models. So many goodies aquired at the Nats I could start half a dozen projects in as many hours if I don't rein myself in a bit. Just too little time to model. sp ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 08 Aug 1999 13:05:02 PDT From: "PETER LEONARD" To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: I'lya back on the bench Message-ID: <19990808200502.32866.qmail@hotmail.com> It's pretty rotten of you lot to have your nats in Orlando in July.

They had 1 ex RNAS French built 12 and 40 Beardmore built 12's (20 delivered direct and 20 ex RNAS) and the early ones had cpl sides with pc10 uppers. They also had 24 Nieuport 20's, of which the first example looked like a mixture of 10 and 12 parts, and the rest looked like 12bis's fitted with LeRhones.

Yeah, we're a pretty rotten lot, aren't we. :) So from what I've gathered from a few postings to this list, the UK nats are always held in October, and are always held in Telford. Is this correct? I hope so. While I may not be able to make it to the UK Nats in 00, I maybe able to get there the following year 01. Assuming my wife's friend still lives in Birmingham and still offers us a place to stay.
