The wooden portion of D.III and early to mid production D.IIIa cabane struts came to a pointed end at the attachment fixture. Later D.IIIs had rounded ends at the attachment fixture.

Among the more unusual were three of the Renwal Aeroskin kits from the 1960's (yes, I remember using the metal ruler trying to get the skin to fit just right on that SPAD). I have no idea of their value--but thought someone on the list might want to add them to his collection. If anyone's interested, just make me an offer. They are: McKeever's F2B -- 1/72 Putnam's SPAD XIII -- 1/72 Rickenbacker's Nieuport 28 -- 1/48th Happy Holidays!

You don't say whether you are still into the balsa and tissue or if you are now a plastic pusher like most of us here. No matter, we have at least one listee currently working miracles with a Guillows kit and I'm sure you'll fit right in. cheers Peter Leonard http://www.storks.cwc.net http://www.escadrille.mcmail.com PeterL@cwcom.net ----Original Message Follows---- From: Munson Hinman Reply-To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: introduction Date: Thu, 16 Dec 1999 05:27:43 -0500 (EST) I just found this list and am fascinated by what I might learn here.
