Incidentally, I too have no gripe with his *not* producing datafiles where he needs to incur extra costs - it's a lot easier to whine on the outside when one doesn't have to risk ones livelihood.

Juelch" To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Lack of French Datafiles, was Re:French Site Question Message-ID: <38015814.43E18310@earthlink.net> Peter Leonard made a very good point when he noted that much of the pictorial content of the WS Datafiles comes from sources over which they (Peter Grosz, Jack Bruce, Ray Rimmell, etc) own, or otherwise control the publishing rights. Reproduction costs and royalty fees have unfortunately made it very costly to publish books with a lot of historical photos, unless the photos are in the public domain, or you own them yourself, or are lucky enough to have the cooperation of the photo's owner. In addition to being dedicated, highly knowledgable researchers, Grosz and Bruce (in particular) are lucky to own huge OT photo collections. I would venture to assert that if they did not have access to those vast photo archives their publishing output would have been much diminished. It is my understanding that ownership of historical photos is also one of the major factors behind the prolific publishing output of Allan Hall, first in SAM, and now in his (ot) Warpaint series. Since Grosz and Bruce have these wonderful archives, and since they seem to have a good working relationship with Ray Rimmell, it is only natural that the majority of Datafiles are on German and British aircraft. There is no conspiracy against French or other aircraft, but there is a dearth of authors and publishable source material on these subjects. Personally, I would welcome Datafiles on a wider range of aircraft, but it is beyond my means to make it happen. Perhaps someday we will be blessed with a French counterpart to Grosz and Bruce. In the meantime, c'est la vie! Karl ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Oct 1999 23:21:05 -0400 From: "Michael S.

Got an Eduard and a Tom's set for it too, so between it all, and a leetle bit of extra time, should look purty good. Absolutely gonna replace those guns, maybe the radiator screening too. Gotta decrease the width of the panel lines in the nose, but I don't really want to remove the detail - I like it a bit better than the brass nose panels. I'll look at it more when I start it: have too many going on now... Also picked up the Glencoe Albatros. Hmmm. Workable, but still kind of rough. However, I have to give them points on the decals and the subjects that markings are supplied for. And the fact that they give a tip on how to paint the little curls all over the plane - it's kind of funny that they don't also give you a cleaner kit to practice painting on!

I ask this because once I wanted to try my hand at painting figurines and decided would try to use acrylics because of the slow setting time as opposed to oils and the ease of use." I have painted many, many figures, and I have always used acrylic undercoats in the proper colors to supply the opacity, then used oils to enrich the colors and blend them. I like the longer working time of oils, which enables me to get the effect I want no matter how clumsy I am. I also use a "light box" of low, dry heat to force the oils to dry overnight. Hope this helps...

If the Aussies and Kiwis don't stomp me to death, I will return in mid November. Anyone wanting anything from me had best act quickly, or be prepared to wait until I get back. Peter, this is the last chance on the US Aero squadron colors for a while... My wife wonders why I'm insisting on a side trip to Canberra....(heh! heh!) Any other must-sees between Adelaide and Sydney? Hobby shops that can't be missed?

I saw it a few years back at the NW Hobby Expo at the swap meet for $60.00 but I did not buy it and have thought it about several times since then.
