That search engine is: Northern Lights: www.nlsearch.com Another interesting search engine, because it searches search engines, is Dog Pile, which is found at: www.dogpile.com As far as OT searches are concerned, Northern Lights was what found me this "interesting" corner of the web. >> I have to second Tom's nomination on this one. He mentioned this one on the list about two months ago and I havent looked back. I used to alternate between Alta Vista and Yahoo, then found Mamma.com (which is a search engine that uses other search engines, like dogpile mentioned above - I believe they call them meta-searchers) but Northern Lights finds stuff the others never found. ======================================================== I would also like to mention a personal policy here that others may wish to consider. Most search engines prioritize your "hits" based upon how exactly they match the criteria you provide, and how many times your key words are used in that document. Fair enough - the ones which appear highest on the list are the ones most likely to meet your needs. Some search engines, I believe GoTo.com was the first, auction you off to the highest bidder. The owners of the sites bid against each other for the higher spots on the list and, provided their site in any way at all has something in common with your search criteria, the highest bidder appears at the top of the "hits". This is completely legal - I have no problem with that - but it is serving the paying web site owners, not the searchers, and in my opinion destroys their credibility as a seach engine. I live in fear that more of them will switch to this system, so my gentle protest is simply not to use any search engine with this policy. Sorry about using the bandwidth, but we are consumers who use these search engines for WWI stuff and other things and I believe we must keep each other informed.

This place is an old fashoned hobby shop. Kits of all kinds stackes to the ceiling...literaly. As you walk in the door you are greeted by a partially completed Tabue of about 5' span and a Bebe of 1/4 or 1/5th scale hanging up. I escaped with the only battle damage being an Omega resin kit of the Farman .30bis in 1/72 and an Eduard Fok D.VI. in 1:48. They had a Ed Hannover Cl.III, Omega S.XVI, an Omega LFW trainer and a Smer Avro 504K among their less common kits. This is my first encounter with an Omega kit. Nicely cast resin pieces with very thin casting flash. The castings were in a celophane packet, each one sealed off from the others much like the Passchendaele conversion kit comes. There is a sheet of IRAS decals and two small pieces of clear plastic card along with an instruction sheet containing an assembly sketch, parts ID sketch and some coloring info. The box has a very nice B&W photo pasted on the top which is definately a keeper. All the parts look good and the small ones look as good as what Toko is doing. I didn't see ang great pits or holes in the larger parts. The wings are a CDL colored resin and thin enough to be translucent. They will probably require just a misting of paint to adjust the hue slightly. The instruction sheet says this plane served with the Sovs into the 20s and specifies a Canton Linee Salmson 130 - 150 hp. ( Riordan, you have any info in this plane during the 1918-1920s period?) All in all I'm real pleased with the kit, sp E-mail smperry@mindspring.com Web Site http://smperry.home.mindspring.com/PWWIP.htm ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 19:12:31 EDT From: BEN8800@aol.com To: seaways-shipmodeling-list@lists.best.com, wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Rust Removal Message-ID: <8cb530f.24ede95f@aol.com> A little off subject, but I really had a disaster today.
