Tech Support got so far ahead of me that I took an HTML class and can at least do the minor things, like write the code. And she has revealed to me a few of her secrets.

Oh, I'm crushed. :-) We could use some more Halberstadts. Checking my inventory I find a CL.II vac by Form-a-plane, the D.II by Merlin, a CL.II by Pegasus, and a CL.IV vac by Joystick.

I believe Chimneyville makes stuff for the model RR guys. The local shop here carries a bunch of their products. I'll have to see if they can get some for me. How does it look anyway? I have a few sheets of the Superscale woodgrain in both light and dark flavors and I like it very much. I'm not real thrilled about the Propagteam woodgrain. Looks more like a maze, or a circuit board to me. Just my opinion... E.

Accuracy and quality is quite good - one of Airfix's best on-topic efforts. The problem is Airfix's novel method of molding the top and bottom wing halfs. This results in a very visible seam on the top side of the upper wing and the bottom side of the lower wing. I've never figured out a really satisfactory way of dealing with this seam. And you -have- do deal with it somehow.

This is related to the ALPS printers, I suspect! I was playing around with my now-never-used handheld scanner when I first got it and I ran it along the wooden surface of my computer table. I then printed the resulting scan on my colour printer and had an excellent and completely authentic woodgrain finish. I was going to try it on the Edouard 1/48 Sopwith Baby, but since my printer ink wasn't really compatible with decal stock, I never proceeded further - but those with an ALPS printer can.

Which air service would these aircraft be from? RAF? or the RN(RAN??)? I couldn't say for sure what the RAN did - and it was RAN , unlike the Kiwis who were still the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy until much later -but the whole shipboard aviation business in the RN was a RAF undertaking from its formation until the RN got control back in the 30s. Since she would have been under RN operational control at the time I would imagine that the aircraft would have been RAF. Are we going to see a 1/72 battlecuiser model to display a Toko Strutter? >The cruiser HMAS Brisbane carried a Sopwith Baby in 1917, would that come under the >RNAS? or did the RN have a differant set up back then? RNAS under RN operational control - since the RAN was an independent service it may have had different ways of doing things post war, but during hostilities they operated with the RNAS.

Bob and Chris will be using the printer to produce, for sale, decals of the many aircraft they have profiled over the years. The donation you make will enable Bob & Chris to purchase a decal capable printer sooner and hence make you able to purchase decals of their many aircraft marking schemes sooner than if we wait for them to put together the full price of the prnter themselves. The above is all a donation gets the doner. And in light of making all those markings available for sale, I for one think it will be 5 dollars very well spent. What exact make and model printer is left up to Bob and Chris as will be the location of the printer. Discussion of the various makes & models of decal capable printers is very much On Topic and worthy of discussion On List. PLEASE direct all communications concerning donations to me OFF LIST.

First, I have scanned three more pictures, one taken of Start as it is today, two others from when it was prepared for its first flights in Norway 1912. A separate Email with the scans attached was sent to Alan so they could be put on our web-site and copied to Tom W and two gentlemen building Taubes. Hope your mailboxes can take 200Kb of .JPGs, if there is someone else who need them in a hurry, please send a request off-list today as I am heading down to Nigeria on Thursday to take up position as a West-African listmember. To answer Toms question, I would like to say a little bit about "Start". It was c/n 60 from the Rumpler factory, delivered with Argus engine and most likely a 3C on delivery. A contemporary article gives its span as 14m. It was rebuild numerous times, as far as I know, after a bad crash they wanted to buy a new machine, but the authorites told them to order spares and repair it. So they ordered new wings, tailplane, engine and built a new fuselage and floats. The new wing had approx one meter extra span, which was useful for getting it off the water with the new floats. It was also fitted with armament, one Krag-Jorgensen carabin with 120 rounds. It is now close to a 3F model. So the machine exhibited at NTM is rather different from the original one, which is confusing when using old and new pictures as well as undated drawings. When I built the Lone Star Taube, it took me some time to sort this out. I have compared drawings made by Roar Glenne of Start 1912 with a Pegasus kit: The wings are almost spot on except for Start seems to be without a kink in the leading edge but has an uncovered part next to the cockpit. Horizontal tail matches when seen from above, but there is no representation of the change between double and single covered surface. Fuselage need to be reworked around the cockpit, Start had a turtle shaped top-decking, when I built the 1/48 kit I used an engine nacelle from a 1/72 WW2 bomber vac-form. Should be possible to crash-mould it if nothing suitable is in my spare box. Interior parts should be easy to modify to the new top-decking where needed, So it should be easy to modify it to the 1912 Start, but there is a list of improvements to be done to the kit to make a better Taube regardless of mark. The 1914 and later Start will need extended wings etc. >Would the Taube kit represent the "Start" as flown in Norway? >I would like to build it, seeing as a live about half a mile from where it >landed after its first flight in Norway. (And that my grandfather told me >that he bicycled all the way down here to see the first Norwegian flying >machine). I wonder if I inherited my interest in historic aviation from >him. Tom, look for your bestefar in the pictures, more Start pictures in "På Vingene over Norge" by Lindtveit & Thoresen, still in sale at NTM. >Another one: How do I get hold of the Broplan W.33 here in Norway? Broplan will release a Norwegian W.33 version this fall, I have promised Janusz to take a number of kits for sale in Norway, hope to have them here when I get back from Nigeria in five weeks time. That was part of the deal to get the Norwegian kits made by Broplan, I supplied the references and promised to take a number of kits for sale in Norway, outside Norway you should order it directly from Broplan. There will probably be a German version as well, do not know if it will be the same as the Norwegian kit as the first Norwegian W.33s were very close to the original German built ones. If someone wants a different W.33 scheme, Latvia had a few Finish built ones with red swastikas, could be something for Blue Rider to produce. Hope to be back in time to get my mail sorted before going to the UK Nationals, have booked a weekend in London, checked the timetables for trains to Telford, assembled new storage shelves in the basement and set aside my tax-return from the UK Inland Revenue for this event. Maybe I will see some of you in Telford on the big Saturday. nb: Lubeck Travemunde modyfied from Friedrichshafen F.49 (Just like the original) Eders Knut Erik ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 18:41:33 -0500 From: Matthew E Bittner To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Mk.IV Message-ID: <19990906.184133.-157651.1.mbittner@juno.com> Well, All I have left is to dullcoat, and pastel weather the little beastie.

Was reading my September SAMI and came across a blurb on page 692 about an Italian company, MisterKit. Seems they are starting into OT paints and have begun with the "complex, and controversial, subject of WW1 British colours." Article says they have gone for an "average" shade of PC10, somewhere between the 1916 and 1918 shades. Has anyone on list seen or tried these? Any good? Available in USA? Thanks. - JCG ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 14:04:16 -0700 From: Russell W Niles To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Next choice for voting Message-ID: <19990906.174602.-195311.0.r_niles1@juno.com> Thanks for the update Ernest. Regardless of what Eric chooses to do, I too will be buying at least one set of both the markings and lozenge for the DVII.

Maybe I will add that shot when I photograph the Taube next week. The Taube is painted and wings are attached. I must say, I am very pleased with the results so far. The color scheme is striking.

It should answer any questions regarding PC10/12, no matter how trivial or controversial. So, why not mix your own PC10? No-one batch of color dopes come out the same, they all differ slightly somewhat (including silk screened lozenge, not one batch was swatch perfect) do your worst, you wont be far off.
