I don't know too much about 1/48th scale stuff but the DML Fokker D.VII's that I've seen built at shows were first rate.

Bowers. Big and very clear pictures of strange and mostly impractical inventions from around the world are waiting there to be scratch or kitbash modelled. I can't say if it's more astonishing to realise that someone paid big money for build those contraptions or that someone was fool enough to try to fly on them.

Even though I'm not subscribed to The List right now, I just now went to our web site to see if anybody had sent in any new photos, and I found the new one by Alberto Casirati. I love it! At first I thought it was a reference photo of a real plane instead of a model. It *IS* a model, right? I want to know all about it, including the photography, so maybe this weekend I'll find time to read the recent digests to see what's been said about it.

Anyway about the Fokker Triplane being faster than a speeding camel and spad. Do you mean the Dr1 or the deriviative that was re-engined for the 1918 fighter competions. Since from what I understood a Dr1 with a good engine was good for 115 or so at sea level but the engine tailed off at altitude like 100 or so at 12,000 feet. Whereas a camel was good for 115 at 6,000 and was still 10 miles an hour faster at most altitudes. The spad 13 with a good engine was 20 to 30 miles an hour faster than a Dr1 at most altitudes. Of course the key to all of these was a good engine. But the Dr1 never seemed to be a speed demon, manueaverable and could climb fast but only to a certain altitude. Did you mean D. VII not triplane since the title was D.VII but the email was about the DR1? Ray Boorman .

In addition to tracing light tables are great for sorting slides or negatives. Just be careful not to expose the transparencies to the intense light for long periods of time- you don't want them to fade!

And what a great first post it is. Welcome to the monkey house, Chris. The DML D-VII is a peach of a kit. There may be a few inaccuracies in profile, but it builds up into a very nice looking D-VII. the only real bump you should hit is trying to roll those nickle spandau jackets.

A modelling application is to cut PE on it .. the glass surface allows it to be cut without harm. I also have a good light overtop of it and work on my PE parts while sitting here.

In you face, NASM! NASM also had on display the Sopwith Snipe in the markings of E8082 |X flown by Richards/Ross/Youdale/Wright and Stevenson as well as a pair of AFC cloth wings. Both were captioned as "ROYAL" Australian Flying Corps. If that was true the AFC would have been the initialed the RAFC. The AFC never carried the "Royal" moniker, it wasnt until the later Australian Air Force asked King George for permission to have as it's name the RAAF in 1921. You could get up them for the oversight of misnaming an air force too. cam ______________________________________________________________ Get Your Free E-mail and Homepage at http://www.prontomail.com ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 1967 **********************
