Yes, I'm ashamed to say how I did it on my D-I (photos here: http://pease1.sr.unh.edu/Images/Wright/Albatros/index.html) I used a technique from an old FSM or Scale Models article on converting the D-III to a D-I/II. Build up the shape from scratch stock, then etch the radiator louvers/texture into the face with a sharp X-acto blade and a metal ruler as a guide. Not a bad way to go for my first kitbash, but your technique sounds much better. -Al =============================================================================== Allan Wright Jr. | You fell victim to one of the 'classic' blunders!

Windsock 15-4 arrived here in Oslo a few days before me, highlights include: In-depth kit review of Eduard`s Albatross D.III by Steve Rutland (6 pages) US Navy Curtiss HS-1L and HS-2L flying boats, photos and drawings by Colin Owers Same man has a page on Spansh Martinsyde F.4s Pictures of a stripped Fokker D.VII in Boeing factory, great detail shots. Reviews of the latest from Copper State + Eduard/Flashback in 1/48 and Pegasus + Toko in 1/72. They list forthcoming Toko releases in 1/72 as Fokker E.V/D.VII, D.VI, F.I, Dr.I, Pfalz D.III(a) and show the artwork for kit No.149, Gotha G.V. Seems like Toko go for more WW1 aircraft and delay the planned WW2 ones... Eduard list in 1/48 Pfalz D.IIIa, Sopwith F.1 Camel and Nieuport 11. Seems like we are in for a busy fall.

White plastic parts include fuselage halves, wings, tailplane and rudders. A small sprue with two seats, instrument panels, wheels and propeller. A bag of metal parts (engine, interior details and undercarriage. When it comes to accuracy, it has the general Taube shape, but there is no difference in the representation of ribs on the underside of the wing between the areas covered with fabric and those where the ribs are left uncovered. Should be a clear case for plastic strips or HSP. Think the same applies to the the tailplane, will take a look at the Taube exhibited here in Oslo to make sure I get it right. The gates for the plastic are rather thick and the moulding looks a bit heavy. My personal feeling this that it isn`t the best from Pegasus so far, but need some extra work to become a top classe model. No extra parts for different variants in the package, so it will be left to the individual modeler to make a Taube with a difference. Still, the best 1/72 Taube available. References: de Vries, Taube, Dove of War. Scans on the WW1 homepage showing interior of the Norwegian Taube. I am going to Finland for the weekend, will let you know if I find anything of interest for WW1 modellers/historians over there.

I did a top/side view of A6684, but that one is definately overall aluminum. Prior to the thread concerning such markings I had never heard of such from any of the other researchers and just considered the dark coloured tops to be a trick of the light/ poor reproduction. However looking closer at No.58, it and Ni12s do appear to show that type of finish, so it is possible.

Yes. Beside, I stuffed up. If this is what happens to your literacy 20 years *after* that arts diploma it's just as well I don't earn my living that way. But... It means the same as "to give a dressing down". It also suddenly occurs to me that I've heard it used as an adjective "They had a bollocking good time"........but I suspect this is just an illiterates version of "rollicking", and therefore more appropriate to football hooligans than we well adjusted modelling types.

Now THAT I > would like to see on a kit review:�) As an Aussie, I deem it a fine thing to have a closer connection to the English English, if only for the easy apprpriation of such fine expressions. And moving right along, I expect that "a load of OLD bollocks" used in a review would be referring to one of the less accurate ancient Airfix kits, rather than the old Auroras - which presumably have a suitable North American English description Shane ************************************************************** The information contained in this E-Mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

What's wrong with decals? Seriously, I bet if you scale them down, someone on the list would be willing to print them out on ALPS. I can understand your economic plight, but I look at companies like Fotocut and Rosemont who do plenty of 1/72nd and still are in business. One thing I have noticed, though, is that your 1/72nd isn't available through Rosemont, Roll or some of the other shops. And don't start talking about moving into other scales. 1/72nd is losing too many as it is for that kind of talk. :-) Next time you're around Steve Hustad's work, peer into his cockpits. Works of art, one and all. However, I'm still serious. If you scale down your images to 1/72nd, I'm almost positive someone on this list will be willing to print them out on ALPS. Heck, I would pay both you and the ALPS printer for them. :-) However, keep in mind that if I want bezels, my money will have to go to Fotocut. BTW, what else do you have besides the Spandau's in 1/72nd?
