The reason for this is that - except in so far as they may be exagerated - indented rib positions under the wings are *correct* !!! We've had this discussion before, and I admit to being the evangelist for the "indented" side of the argument despite the fact that I don't usually practice what I preach. However, I *have* been allowed by the staff at AWM to measure the wing surfaces of the Avro 504, Alb D.Va, SE-5a and Pfalz D.XII at that museum and can guarantee that there is a small amount of indent at the ribs on every one of them. OTOH the amount is *small* (between 10mm and 15mm at the deepest compared to the fabric at the middle of each rib position on a D.Va lower wing) which means that in scale most vac wings will have inderside indents just as exagerated as the upper side rib effect. Probably the correct scale appearance is best seen on entirely flat (ummm, curved but no rib indent/raised area) undersides with engraved tape positions. For those not already bored by this, the reason why the undersurface has indents is exactly the same as why the ribs stick OUT on the top side. When the fabric is tightened by the dope it tries simultaneously to form a flat plane in every direction. Crudely, it pulls taut between the ribs spanwise but *also* between the leading and trailing edges chordwise. That means it pulls downwards into as straight a line between the LE and TE as possible given the tension spanwise. Of course, the same happens underneath, where a straight line from TE to LE is UNDER the curve of the ribs and so the fabric belies outwards - the ribs left indented. This effect varies from prototype to prototype. The flatter the airfoil, the less the effect, and the underside ribs DO stick out at the leading edge back to about 1/3 chord of some aircraft (actually, back to the point of tangency between the convex and concave parts of the underside profile, at which point no indentation or upraising, then indentations between there and the TE) Boring as hell. I don't do it on my scratchbuilds but if you read the "Scratchbuilt" book you'll see this mentioned, so really *good* modellers do. Dicta Ira applies too strongly for me to go further than making the underside flat!

As in HELP I dont know how to proceed << Having built many vacs, all but two are single thickness. I use the simplest method possible. I first make marks on the edge (leading and trailing) to align the ribs top and bottom. Then with either a scribing tool or a hobby knife, I scribe a line on the bottom. With the hobby knife you can make two parallel lines about 1/64" apart. When its painted, I find the results very pleasing. Don't scribe deep. A light cut, light sanding and the results are convincing to me.

Also, IMHO one of the *advantages* of a newspaper over a directed mail service from the internet, or of a magazine over a searchable web site is the random nature of the information scanned (within the limits imposed by the editor)as you flip through looking for the most "useful" articles. If I chose to receive a newspaper printed to conform with my idea of what I like to hear about, I'd never be exposed to the things that make me uncomfortable - and which might make me change the world by some feat of technology, politics or humanity. I might restrict my world view until I thought all people lived the way I do and had the same values. Similarly, if I restricted my *magazine* viewing and couldn't even scan articles on subjects apparently unrelated to my interests I'd be losing the opportunity to learn techniques developed elsewhere or to broaden my interests in, and understanding of the hobby. I think any drive to "efficiency" in a hobby is misdirected - it takes the assumption that "time is money" from the workplace where it belongs and imposes it on our relaxation, where it emphatically does not. OTOH, like the building of BF1-oh-thingies, if it turns you on, do it. But remember that what you might be missing could be as valuable as anything you read.

On topic it may be that printed magazines COULD reproduce the colour profiles and most of the photographs to a higher quality than any webzine, but the fact is they don't. For the most part what we get is pages and pages of scanned decals or etched brass with endless photographs of the latest crop of resin accessories. Actual modelling content is minimal (even less OT) and some of the webzines already do this better. From a purely modelling point of view the only problem I have with the current crop of Webzines is the absense of scale drawings.

I used single thickness wings - if I used the kit supplied lower they would be way too thick. What I did was sand the upper wing to the correct thickness. Then for the lower wing ribs I used stretched sprue which I attached with Testor's liquid cement. I used black sprue, and black india ink for the upper surface ribs. Since this aircraft was clear doped linen, a couple of light coats of clear doped linen allowed the ribs to be slightly visible, giving an excellent effect.

Be nice (Dicta Ira etc) Nice job! Like everyone else, though, it would be nice seeing them up close and clear. Keep up the great job! >> Models are great, and I like the other stuff on the page, too. While we are doing photo tips here, may I also suggest using a more neutral colour background when photographing the model? The scanning unit at the photo lab tries to figure out where a neutral shade should exist and adjusts its colour filters accordingly. The red christmas background (combined with the insane colours of a Salamander) will give the printer the electronic equivalent of a nervous breakdown and you can get some very strange-coloured prints as a result. Hey Ray - you have clearly mastered the tough part - making the model. The photography is the simple part that even duffers like me can conquer. :-) Dave Z ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2000 20:09:16 +0000 From: Pedro e Francisca To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Some Pictures of the Salamander and other stuff as promised....

Pretty nice work on the finish which i know from experience is not one of the easiest. Keep up the great work and keep them coming so that we can see them, since the only thing we like better than making models is looking at each other's models.

Message-ID: <200001182103.QAA10814@pease1.sr.unh.edu> Forward from the CCI list. Most of us would be interested in this! Even though it's "computer format", at least it's available! Matt Bittner ==================BEGIN FORWARDED MESSAGE================== Dennis Gordon wrote a good book on the Lafayette Escadrille a few years ago. I recently heard from him that it is still available. Here is the info I received: "Lafayette Escadrille Pilot Biographies", it is avialable for $19.50ppd to: GOS INC, P.O. Box 3912. Missoula, MT 59806. Dennis went on to write: "I have another volume at Schiffer Publishing which is supposed to be out sometime this year which covers the bios of all the 269 men of the Lafayette Flying Corps." (Later group of American pilots who served in French units, not the Lafayette Escadrille proper) Hope this helps! There are also other new sources, or rather new ways of viewing old sources. This is a review by Noel Shirley from the soon to be printed (late)Over The Front Winter 99 issue. I thought it might be of use to you. Classic books on Computer Disks are now being offered by The Digital Bookshelf, P.O. Box 2927, Clarksville, TN 37042 [sschoner@commandnet.net] and [www.ww1books.com]. This new service digitizes books relating to World War I which were published prior to 1922. The CDs are sold on a subscription basis for $36 per disk or, individually, for $45 per disk, with most efforts to date relating to histories of American Divisions. The Digital Bookshelf has, however, issued two CDs covering wartime aviation, specifically the Lafayette Flying Corps and some classics of French aviation. The first, DBLFC-1, provides both volumes of The Lafayette Flying Corps by James Norman Hall and Charles Bernard Nordoff. The second, DBLE-1, contains five books: The Story of the Lafayette Escadrille: told by its Commander Captain Georges Thenault; High Adventure: A Narrative of Air Fighting In France by James Norman Hall; The Way of the Eagles, by Charles J. Biddle; En l'Air: Three years on and above three fronts by Bert Hall; and The Great Adventure by Edwin C. Parsons. In both CDs the original books are reproduced as closely as possible; page-by-page. Each disk contains the digitized material in both Adobe Acrobat .pdf and MSWord .doc format, and each disk also contains the Adobe Acrobat file ready for downloading should this format be preferred to Windows. In Addition, each disk comes with a Help button to allow the user to solve any problems, which might arise in using the CD. DBLFC-1's 12 separate files include one of 18 pages of cartoons related to the Lafayette Escadrille and another of eight pages of French Escadrille emblems; both are in full color. Volume 1 of the book devotes five files to the complete text, photos, and illustra-tions, and a separate file contains only the text of the book. Volume 2 has four separate files, three with the entire text, including photos and illustrations, and one solely of text. The Index has not been reproduced, but that lack is not insurmountable, as the user has the capability of either the Adobe Acrobat or the Windows Edit-find commands to search files for information. DBLE-1 contains 11 separate files, the first consisting of a brief introduction providing the details of each book such as the number of pages, number of illustrations, date of publication and who the author was. There are two separate files for each book, one containing photographs and illustrations associated with the book, and the corresponding file is the text of the book without photos or illustrations. There are a number of minor annoyances associated with these CDs. There are always problems associated with scanning material, and these disks show the typical problems associated with the quality of the original material being reproduced in the copy. Also, it would have been nice to see more time taken in doing the little things like making sure columnized material such as Table of Contents are properly aligned. In addition, it is not clear why the photos and illustrations in the books contained in DBLE-1 are separated; while in DBLFC-1 they are included in the files. And it would have been more user friendly if the indices associated with each book were included in each file. All in all, however, the availability of these CDs should benefit members who have been unable to obtain or to afford these books. For members interested in the subjects contained on the CDs, and who have the computer equipment to read them, their purchase is recommended. It is understood that the next aviation related effort to be undertaken by The Digital Bookshelf is the digitalization of the two-volume set of The New England Aviator, 1914-1918.
