It is not. It is the DML release - all the way to the photoetch frets. It contains Berthold's markings, and they are not water-slide decals, but dry transfers - even for the underside lozenge. I will experiment with them, but will probably just use Americal's lozenge - might as well. GreatModels webstore has them. I have used them a couple of times and they are really good on selection and service, as far as an order-by-internet is concerned.

It's green and white strips, lozenge on the wings and green background around the national markings. It's coming along rapidly. (That's unusual for me, right? :-) ) Now I have to decide what model to build for # 99. It has to be German to even out my collection and then off to 100. The un-named modeller has thrown out the glove and I picked it up. The decision has been made on # 100. I should have a month to build it. Good grief! I can build two kits in a month. Well, maybe I will slow down. Not! I made a list of all of my completed kits and almost panicked. I mis-counted a couple of weeks ago and I thought I did it again. But I found the missing kit and I am sitting at 97 with 98 at 50%. Whew!! I hope this helps with your 12 hour shift. I'm going to go work on the D.Va some more.

The brass grommets are correct for the Sutton Harness, of course, and I would think that the fittings would have been a steel or gunmetal color. If painted black, it is probable that they would wear to bare metal in a short time.My pics definitely lean towards a steel color for buckles. BTW, were they using much aluminum in WWI? I remember it as being a metal that only recently in history have we been able to machine well. Buckles wouldn't have been aluminun by any chance, No?

However I have reasons for wanting to paint instead of scratch build this prop. So unless someone has talented dwarves or a magic wand to rent out, I'd sure like to hear everyone's favorite trick for painting light/dark laminations on plastic or resin props.

I paint the prop with the base color, usually the wood and let it dry. Then, with a long bristle (3/4") brush 10/0, the contrasting color is thinned until it flows easily. In one pass, the color is applied. I do two or three strips. Sometimes I curve the strips, sometimes they are straight. It depends on my mood. This works well in 1/72. 1/48 will take a larger brush but the results should be the same. This is what works for me.

Living in the "boonies" (read "country" for those who don't understand) we didn't have street lights or anything like that. There would be four or so of us, half on one side of the street, the other half on the other. When a car approached, we would all stand up, acting like we were playing tug of war across the street. As the car screeched to a halt, we would all sprint away from the road into the farmer's fields. It worked until the car in question was my mom's. I still haven't recovered from that one... :-) Matt Bittner http://www.geocities.com/~ipmsfortcrook http://www.discoveromaha.com/community/groups/plasticmodelers/index.html ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

I now use watercolor pencils on my props. I did this on the Jacobs D.VII, and it came out wonderfully. Airbrush the prop the "lighter" wood color, and use a darker pencil. Good luck!

I'm just going to spend a few hours trying to update the website. Don't visit until I'm done - I think I'm gonna have to change the address as there are one or two problems on the server. The Nieuport 16c is nearly done - I've just got the Le Prieur rockets to add. Does anyone know if these were attached to the struts in tubes or with brackets? - The Sopwith Pup installation was brackets and ignition wires running down into (?) the lower wing.
