They do look flimsy but I've used them on at least 5 projects up till now and they do their job perfectly. And let me also say that I've just used the thinner ones. Now a question: Is there a possibility of buying a pack of only the thinnest size? I've bought an assorted strut rod and tube pack when I was in London in the beginning of the year and I'm running short of stuts which, of ourse, cannot be bought here in Portugal. Anyone know if this is possible? Maybe through Aeroclub, since I got my first assorted pack from them.... Sandy, I seem to recall you saying John Adams had an e-mail...

Aeroclub carried contrail struts in all sizes. I have use the contrail for years. Their smallest size you would say cannot possibly work because as you hold it in your hand, its limp.

Wasn't the quite night the rest of you seemed to have had, my 15 year old daughter had a sleep over with four other freshman high school girls watching the Miss America contest. After I got home I got out the Pyro/Inpact/LifeLike Boxkite and started matching the kits parts to a Henry Farman Type III. Given I have three different drawings (and all btw having different dimensions) the main wings are very close having the correct rib stations (off one drawing) and the right length and cord. Besides the wings the engine is the correct type but I'll need to build some new booms as the Farman is a longer aeroplane that the Boxkite. The Putman book, states (as Sandy pointed out) "was a copy of a Farman" but I haven't located any drawings from four sources that really match the Bristol Boxkite. Should prove to be an interesting conversion; noticed to while laying the 1/48th Boxkite wings out with the extensions that it's a huge model and take up lots of real estate in the bookcase.

Most dry waterproof (they are easily removed from offending areas with a Q-tip and Windex). They can be airbrushed and used in tecnical pens and crow-quills. A Tip: a brown ink wash really helps a wood surface. Wait until I get the Hanriot done and You'll See. Grey is my favorite and I use quite a bit of it on interiors to bring out detail. Sort of 'instant shadowing'. I used my water color pencils for the first time (inadvertantly) on the HD.1. I was drawing the wood grain of the footplates in the cockpit and gave 'em some Future.

I've just finished the Pfalz D-III I've been working on. It has a red fuselage but the crosses were applied afterward. However, I had decided to use the wieght scale and placed the decal on before the red paint. I air brushed red but the black decald still showed through pretty clearly. I assume the same would happend with the cross. I don't know if a LOT of paint would cover better, or if red is just one of those colors that doesn't cover the balck too well.
