The Voss Rudder Message-ID: <19991010165755.9784.qmail@hotmail.com> Sandy, I can't go into any great detail as I don't have any, If you refer to Dave Watts reply he has much more to offer and has correctly identified the source. My understanding is that they are two different rudders and that the other was included for purposes of comparison and to kill any suggestion that we may be looking at yellowed varnish. The yellow rudder looks absolutely right, the shape and the application of the cross are spot on. The second though looks slightly different in outline than the first, but may just have been kicked around more (or less) The cross is a bit odd as you say, suggesting a re-paint at the very least. Mark is building his Dr1 in 1/1 scale and has invested a considerable ammount of time and effort in his own research rather than just taking it as read. I gather he may have some revelations in due course.

They also supply ready made masks for the wheels; thats kind of neat. The decalsheet is good also, but if you want to do an OAW Albatros D.III other than one of the schemes given in the kit, you can get there with the original kit release. I do recommend the Eduard after-market photoetched brassAlbatros D. III or even the D. V/Va detail sets to go with the kit but be aware that the detail set costs more than half the original price of the kit.

However, the Salmson was a mainstay of the WWI USAF and I would have hoped for a definitive study from FMP or Squadron Signal (well quasi-definitive!) or some other Stateside publisher before Albatros get round to it next Millennium. Go on Bob, tell FMP to do as good a monograph as their Starstrutter or Sikorsky ones - with superior Pearson profiles of course!

For the few of us in to things WW-I that fly. I just finished and extremely pleased with my new 1/12 Fokk.Dr.I from Hobby Lobby. They import the kit by Simprop of Germany. The kit is designed for and it does quite well at flying indoor R/C. I mostly successfully flew it in our 250X110 foot armory in downtown OKC. At $325 to get it flying it's a little steep but the results are mostly worth it. For the statesiders have a great Columbus day!

Message-ID: <001901bf1383$00787100$6151c0d1@dora9sprynet.com> Hey Y'all, Picked up a Revell 1/28 Fokker D.VII. I don't know why. It was there, I was there, and the pending release of the 'Seven Swabians' decals flashed in my rotten little brain. I hope that this Fokker doesn't become an albatross! Picked up the Monogram Fokker D.VII (1/48). Anyone know off the top if there are any big mistakes in it, other than the large wedges of cheese that are supposed to be control horns? All in all, I really like it - nice molding and I especially like the represesentation of the fuselage that looks like fabric stretched over a tube frame, instead of plywood. Having a hard time figuring out whose plane I wanna do. Picked up alot of other stuff too. That's my problem: always going around picking up things..... Dave P.S., I think that laying my bike down rattled something loose. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Oct 1999 20:52:08 -0400 From: "Michael S.

I wanted to go Friday but I had no money for vendors which I knew I would have Saturday morning after concluding a little business. Unfortunately the business took longer to conclude than I hoped and it got too late to get up there from Chantilly, Va . before everyone packed up and headed for the banquet. Hopefully next year though! I also plan to make the next Northern Va IPMS meeting. See you there. On the other hand I have just come back from having dinner with Mike Muth, a very fine gentleman indeed. We met at Kilroy's in Springfield which I would suggest as an initial meeting place for the nation Capital "Squasta", not necessarily a WWI motif but full of by Liberty and War Bonds posters etc from both the WWs.

I have no doubt that RR could get someone to hack it to-gether in the house style, but I'm not so sure that's the problem.

AJP Maquettes makes which Caudron? Any other 1/48th jobs?
