Aside from the previously discussed problems with the cabanes, everything else went together with little trouble. But a word of warning to anyone who's planning to use that flying snake looking thing decal for the fuselage, it's a bitch. You'll have an easier time if you spray the decal with clear before you soak it. That will give you a bit more carrier film and it will be less likely to fold up on itself during application. The other alternative would be to chop it up in about four pieces and put it on in sections. Oh well, four more Strutters to go.

I will be out of town for a week on business, then a few days back at work, and then off on the first two week vacation that we have taken in over ten years. For the first time in our almost fifteen years of marriage the first vacation with no kids. All but the last one all grown up and gone. We're off to Portland Oregon for the National Narrow Gauge convention, and then a few days with the wifes folks in the northern most area of Northern California. Ya'll play nice while I am away. I'll keep up with you all on the web site by reading the digest. I will re-sub when I get back and go back to work late in September. Talk to ya'll later.

I think these are also available from Rosemont. Tauro also has the A7V with two different kit numbers, but I think the difference is decal choices. Again I think available from Squadron and Rosemont. 1/32nd Scale (or for the figure modeler 54mm): The Ft-17 is available from Monarch Miniatures Inc. This kit is in white metal and comes with a figure of then LTC Patton (also available separately). This company has some interesting WWI figures. I know Scale Link producted in white metal a very detailed Rolls Royce armoured car in the scale back in the late 80s/earlier 90s, but I don't know if they are still in business. There rumors that they were going to produce in white metal a Mark I (if memory is correct) and a Fokker DVII (if memory is correct I think this was shown in Windsock). Hope this helps. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 09:26:24 +0100 From: Pedro e Francisca Soares To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: List librarian (regretfully) resigning / temporarily unsubbing Message-ID: <37C8EEB0.E716FBAE@mail.telepac.pt> mgoodwin@ricochet.net wrote: > Due to a number of factors (the foremost being the impending expansion > of the family by the end of next month), I will shortly no longer have > the time (or space) to continue as list librarian or member.

I promised the guy I bought it from that I would build it, not collect it. Does anybody know the extent of the corrections required to get a reasonably accurate end product? I'm primarily concerned with gross problems in dimensions and shape. I know the details are a weak but I can handle that.
