It does not produce a totally dead flat finish, but it is pretty close. If you want something a bit less flat, it will mix very well with Future. Play around with the ratios and find one you like and go from there. Clean up with water or Windshield washer fluid. I often use a coat of Future as a sealer, then any panel line detailing, another coat of Future, decals, Future, weathering and then a Future/clear flat mixture for the final coat.

Elman claimed to have discovered proof the Ghost-Writing whilest researching the article, but did not publish this info for various reasons. I dug this article out of my C&Cs. I cannot copy it for fear of breaking the binding but would be willing to serialize it for the list as others have done in the past. I can keep the installments small so as not to chew up bandwidth.

The previous Noffsinger was published in 1978. My guess is it's content must have doubled since then. You might try Aeroplane Books or possibly Sopwith Hobbies.

As it is you didn't include Biggles of the Camel Squadron Sorry, but as an avid reader, I had to throw my .02 sheckels worth in there. I've been reading a lot of OT memiores and whatnot lately.
