It seems like everyone has thgeir own system. As for me, I give the fuselage a base coat of Testors natural wood. After it dries thoroughly, I apply a reddish-brown acrylic from Polly-S called "Italian Camo Brown". I use a small sponge, apply a littlee brown, and stroke it in one direction to get sort of a grainy look without actually doing a specific grain pattern. There's an example on Al's page of an Albatros I did this way. hth Mike Muth ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Dec 1999 22:52:41 -0500 From: "Carlos" To: Subject: How to be removed from list Message-ID: Hello all!

Having spent some time searching the archives, I have enjoyed the wealth of information there. I especially liked the discussion on whether or not Voss’ triplane had a yellow cowl (which provided the information I desired so that I could reach my own conclusion), the Voss rudder image and thread, and Bill Shatzer’s post on the “Fokker Dr. I in action” corrections. The archive search is a little cumbersome (to me), so I apologize if I missed the answers to these two questions. As a further clarification on “Fokker Dr. I in action”, where on page 13 it’s stated that Voss’ triplane “was nicknamed ‘The Silver Triplane.’ “, does anyone know where where Heinz Nowarra came up with this caption? It makes an interesting bit of trivia, but I am unsure as to how to take it … I have Dan-San Abbott’s Feb ’87 drawing of Voss’ F. I 103/17 where he states “cross-field is clear doped only” for the underwing cross. On the back cover of “Aces and Aeroplanes 1: Werner Voss” Brian Knight’s artwork has a white field for the underwing cross. I hesitate to ask :) but is there a consensus as to what the field was? I know that Rimell in Wind-Sock Datafile 5, Fokker Triplane, does say that “As ever there were variations for underwing crosses could also be seen on clear-doped panels or directly painted to the turquoise with no contrasting background.” Thanx, --Keith ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Dec 1999 11:39:02 -0700 From: "Dale Beamish" To: "List" Subject: Eduard Message-ID: <009401bf4a50$5a149280$03000004@darcy> Would anyone know where I might still find an Eduard Hansa Brandenburg D1 Starstrutter?

I am rapidly realizing that the Taube was the generic aircraft of its day with everyone building them and versions looking very different. Especially in the fuselage and powerplants. Some used 4 cylinders some 6. To build the one in the FMP Austro Hungarian book it would seem to me that the Flashback model would need a scratch built fuselage. Or at least major surgery. However then the very colourful Red and CDL tailplane schemes could be used.

Only ones i finished this year were the Pegasus w.29, the Toko SSW D.III, and the Emhar Whippet (1/35). Still in progress the Toko Pfalz D.XII (maybe in the new millenium...2001) and the RPM Renault FT 17 (1/35). Sometimes I dilly-dally around the workbench so much I don't seem to get much done. I just rec'd the new Eduard Pfalz D.IIIA yesterday and I'm doing it as an OOB project and hope to finish it before the end of the year. Eduard also missed the radiator pipe on this one and as much as these pipes have been discussed I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the 2nd pipe that should also be present. The datafile on the D.IIIa clearly shows it. Well, the Pfalz awaits...need to finish painting the engine and then it's time to close-up the fuselage.
