Alberto is very slightly crazy. The evidence is clear to see on the web

I've never laid it on any drawings, but it looks about right to me. Has
some definite advantages over the old Momgram kit. Like wings with razor
trailing edges, and pipes that are molded as seperate pieces, and that
nice little Hisso that SP mentioned.. Buy one, unless you're waiting for
the Eduard release.

The site is up and has had no troubles the last week. The internet is a 
big bad place filled with speed-bumps, potholes and breakdowns. The problem
is probably in your neck of the woods.

On a different note, Dr. appointment in an hour, things have taken 2 big
steps back and I plan on being back at home for more bed rest for a few
days. Play nice while daddy's gone. Again, no need to worry.....

The TN/WV/VA areas seem to have particularly bad connections ... and the
worst phone lines north of Mexico.
I work tech support for several isp's and it is a common problem curable
only by finding a luckier (or less loaded) isp or by moving somewhere
else (which of course I can never tell the customers).

Are you sure that D.VII isn't 1/48th? thats crazy - beautiful but crazy

  Gadsen, Alabama, summer of '94 (Maurice Chevalier accent on) Ah yes, I
remember it well (Maurice Chevalier accent off).  I may have been standing
on the starboard side about the time that picture was took! I'll have to dig
out the video and see if I can spot the halo of the 'Voss Tross' master
passing through the rabble.
  Seriously, it's a beautiful model Ernest.

  I must say I'm very disappointed to see Alberto trying to pass original
photo's off as being his own work. What sort of rube, bumpkins does he take
us for?!

It's an excellent kit for the money.  I buy one whenever I see them.  I've
built two and have five waiting in the wings.  I'm planning on doing a 56
Sqdn diorama in my next life, I'm just trying to figure out how to get them
across the Styx, does the ferryman charge by volume or weight?  They're
currently going for about $11.95 Cdn. (the model not the ferry).

I actually started on this one recently and am about 1/4 way through it. IIRC the wings 
match the Datafile drawings pretty closely, the fuselage is the right height and length
but the cockpit is too small, too deep and slightly out but not far. The nose is also 
shallow. So far deepening the nose and making the cockpit surrounds less prominent 
have been the only modifications I have done. Like Ernie and DaveV say it looks 
like an SE5 on the shelf without modification. Steve Perry has an article on the Hispano Suiza 
engine which comes with the kit on his page too. IMNANO ( In My Newbie and Naive
Opinion ) the kit is great. I have had tonnes of fun with the kit already. I also see in 
it's future a boomerang or kangaroo on the side too :)

I recently bought the Lindbergh Jenny too. Didnt realize how large a plane the Jenny
was, or on the other hand, I didnt realize just how small the Nieuports were lol.

My Great Uncle was Ltn. Mohr Staffel Fuhrer of Jasta 3. He was killed

Above the lines states that Mohr's Albatros DIII No.2012/16 was given the
British serial G.18. This suggests that the machine survived relatively
intact and increases the odds that pictures may exist. Sorry I can't help
further than this.  Anyone have 2012/16 aka G.18 in their index?

Thanks for the reassurance Barry. I remember when Frog went bust and I don't 
need another round of panic buying :) Can I take it that you do stock 
Glencoe?

Hi Peter

Glencoe's still around. VLS just stopped carrying the range.
( Was listed in my last VLS dealer news letter)

<< Above the lines states that Mohr's Albatros DIII No.2012/16 was given the
 British serial G.18. This suggests that the machine survived relatively
 intact and increases the odds that pictures may exist. Sorry I can't help
 further than this.  Anyone have 2012/16 aka G.18 in their index? >>

The Jasta Pilots has:
"Mohr, Alfred.    Born 20 January 1889, Oberemmel.   Was flying Albatros 
D.III 2012/16 (G.18) when he was shot down near Arras, by 2/Lts. Gordon and 
Baker, No.12 Squadron, RFC."

Cross & Cockade Vol.10, No.2  (summer 1969) provides the same information, 
adding that the plane was a "complete wreck."     This additional detail was 
apparently gleaned from the RFC/RAF War Diary.

Nowarra's "Pictorial History of the Luftwaffe, Vol.II" has a picture of Mohr 
(one of a group of posed officers) but no aeroplane in sight.

=====================================================

Aside from a few mentions of the place and time of his victories, that is all 
I have on Mohr or his aircraft.     Not a great deal of help, I am afraid.

I attempted to order the Austo-Hungarian and French FMP hardback books

are out of stock.  Does anyone know of an alternative source for these
items, preferably at the same price?   I've sort of given up on ordering
directly from FMP since their delivery lag appears to be long and

Dave Z. quoted:  'the plane was a "complete wreck."'

Ah!  This would explain the entry in the RFC Communiques for April 1 1917
which states:

   'Hostile Aircraft- 2nd Lt D Gordon & 2nd Lt H E Baker, 12 Squadron,
engaged a hostile aeroplane near Arras, which was seen to break in the air
and to crash.'

So much for my "survived relatively intact" theory.

Brad, a "G" serial number would be allocated to a bucket of nuts and bolts 
if that was all that was recovered. Their purpose was purely administrative, 
mainly they were a number on which to hang an intelligence report.

Forget us!  Be careful, I started with a "cold" and ended up in the ICU in

    Thanks. Do you know if there's a surviving list of G. serials?  In the
IWM or Hendon perhaps?  Do the intelligence reports you mention exist in one
place?  I know I've seen one or two in C&C over the years, but is there an
ultimate source or have they been scattered to the four winds?

The story is a little deeper than "out of stock".  The fact is the books
never arrived at all.  They are requesting people to call back later.  I
asked when and the response was near the end of the month or later.  So FMP
is late with the shipping as usual.

Not where I am. Flat as a pancake, red (and I mean RED, not brown) dust with
perilously little dead grass and about 1 tree per football field sized area
- and those so small only a particularly optimistic pygmy would stand
"under" them. And no water. 

FWIW I'm about 50km from Cloncurry, one end of the first scheduled
commercial flight by the oldest airline in the English speaking world (and
second oldest after KLM). The hangar used in those days is still at the
airport, but has "Queensland and Northern Territories Aerial Services"
painted on it instead of QANTAS.

Getting it back OT - the pilots flying for QANTAS then were all AFC veterans
including Hudson Fysh of 1AFC

The one in Cross & Cockade Vol.10 No.2 (by W.R.Puglisi) seemed to be an 
attempt to assemble such a list from the "four winds", though he cites the 
RFC/RAF War Diary as his main source.

Michael, 

Not long ago, I ordered the IRAS book and the 56 Squadron book from "The 
Scholar's Bookshelf".     Their price was discounted from what FMP used to 
list, though I am not sure if it was discounted as much as FMP's own 
advertised price.    I received the books in about a week.     By contrast, 
even after the exchange of messages and excuses, etc - I am still waiting for 
my order from FMP that I placed in bloody August!

good luck,
