I work for a mining company where works are conducted on an heroic scale and stopped production can cost hundreds of thousands per hour. No-one gives a damn if structural parts are half an inch out, so long as they're *safe* and produced quickly and economically. The mining geology, planning and operations are all conducted using networked computers (or I'd be jobless!) but inevitably someone has to get hot and dirty for the rocks to reappear above the ground and be turned into various metals vital to the production of high quality moulds ;-) Shane ************************************************************** The information contained in this E-Mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

I reckon those attack rifle totin' postal workers know when they are outgunned and just don't want Eric and his Spandau after them. I ordered all the applicable Nickel plated PE parts for the 1:28 Revell Spad. I had gotten the basic detail set and the Luke decals from Eric's booth at the Nats and now I have the Vickers guns, the French instruments, the nut & bolt heads, prop bosses and one of those gorgeous Digmyer props. I also went the other end of the scale spectrum and got a couple of the 1:72 engines and a set of Spandaus. All of this stuff is first rate and it was a real pleasant surprise to have turn up on Christmas day. If these 1:72 items are being discontinued as Eirc has said, then you better get a few while you can. Ernie: Sorry to hear about your kit mixup. I waved the same exact add under D.VII's nose. She's too lazy to order it herself, so she claims she will give me a money order so I can get the Breguret.

Message-ID: <3865ACB2.30946EA@airmail.net> Hello, This holiday I have been pondering the method which I will attack the building of my Caproni wings. I have decided that I want to attempt to build them the old fashioned way. In other words to cover a structure with tissue. IMO there is no other way to give the wings their translucence. Thru work I have contacts with the photo etching and laser cutting industry. I think I may try and pull in a favor and have one of these companies "back door" a set of wing ribs for me. This would be great for getting all the ribs to be the exact same shape and size. I would like to use P/E for scale effect, but I am concerned about how the tissue will behave. With a wooden structure the tissue bonds to everything as it gets doped. Resulting in a very rigid structure due to tensile strength. Does anyone know how AJP gets their tissue to stick to P/E? I am also curious about the trailing edge. Should I attempt to use thin wire for the trailing edge? My other idea is to use nothing and let the tissue form its own trailing edge. I hope everyone has had a very enjoyable and safe Christmas. It's great to drive around here and see people washing their cars or cruising their motorcycles on Christmas Day. Can't wait to go back to Minnesota. NOT! Merry Christmas!

The top and bottom covering will stick together well into the chord of the wing. I had that problem on my strip-down E-III and that had a pe brass trailing edge. I was using clear decal film, but doped tisse would have the same problem. Painted decal film may work better if you're doing this in 1/48 or larger. But you still MUST have some kind of TE.
