No offence intended - and as the list members all know, I'm a boring pedant
at heart. The model looks great, missing gun supports or not (CAN you even
see something that size? I suppose you left them out until you could make a
elevating bolt with the right number of threads per inch)

...sounds echoing from the opposite coast "no surrounds on those
roundels...no surrounds on those roundels"  

Mate, if you want a contest, I can be the biggest dill around here, no
trouble ;-)

I'll look out for Robs reviews. If I can't get over for your Expo, at least
I can admire the Perth Jastas work from afar.

ROTFL.   A friend of mine was building an interwar multiengined biplane a
few years ago under the influence of home brew. Whilst so affected he
carefully attached the underside of the top wing to the top side of the
bottom wing. I wanted him to finish the model that way (fuselage on top of
the upper wing, undercart between them) but he insisted on filling all the
wrong holes and drilling new ones. When finished it looked just as it should
- but gave us all a lot of fun in the meantime.

That is the right way to begin a new year of modelling competitions: well
done! We are proud of your successes!
Al, what about a site badge for subscribers, to show in modelling contests?
Nothing more than an image file to be downloaded and printed on paper, to be
later displayed along subscribers' models.

What about this one: item # GG15 at
http://www.noblesse-militaire.com/item.asp?itemcode=MMGG15 can be converted
to an officer, and the pose is quite adecuate for a Patton figure, right?
The site have more stuff at http://www.noblesse-militaire.com/catalog.asp
Or you can ask for a ww1 figure catalog to Scale Link ltd. at (0)
1747-811817. It's about 5 pounds per catalog but worth seeing their wide
range of figures. You got to see their own FT17 on white metal!

Mike, I got one this weekend and also looked at the possibilities of
changing this kit to a DIII, the wing span on the DII was 8.75m vs 9.05m for
the DIII (wing warp version).  The fuselage sides (imo) need to be sanded to
remove the 'interior' bracing.  The kit appears to match the first 12
(231/16 as example) as the DF Special doesn't show this a/c with the
horizonal 'stringer' running the length of the fuselage as with the rest of
the production.  The top wing needs some work where the central section was
raised to improve the pilot's forward field of vision, the kits doesn't show
this very well.   But for the $$ it's a nice DII kit with possibilities.
Charlie.

How about a drum roll for Alberto Casirati for his Nieuport 17 article in the
April 2000 FineScale Modeler starting on page 36 and ending on 39 with a very
good photo of Alberto

Awesome.  Both the article and the model.   Congratulations.

That is how to get more WWI articles in FineScale.

The Image File idea is a great way to get additional coverage and public
recognition for the WWI site.  Lee M.

Welcome back, Mike.

The D.III has the 14-cylinder, 2 row engine, right?

Does anyone make this engine in 1/48? 

I made a 1/72 version for an E.IV conversion (what was I thinking...?) by gluing up separate cylinders.  An easier approach would have been to mate two 7-cylinder engines, which can be had from Aeroclub.  That's what Lone Star provides for their E.IV in 1/48.

Just trying to help...

I've learned my lesson.  Not only do I do that with Squadron, but I do that with every mail order company that I do business with.  

One detail that I didn't mention before -  last time this happened with squadron, I had also ordered some decals that were marked at $.99.  Even though I didn't kit the kit I wanted, I wasn't charged for shipping on the decals. Kind of a bitter/sweet experience.

I agree, except, I believe it to be worse than dirty pool.
Tell them this.  If the order is not complete you do not want them 
to send anything.  (Or)  If you do not have this particular item 
do not ship anything, since, this is the primary reason I am giving 
you an order now.   It does tend to wake them up.  Lee M.

Lance  "..The D.III has the 14-cylinder, 2 row engine, right?
             Does anyone make this engine in 1/48?"

No, that's the DIV. The DIII has the water cooled inline. I'm just now 
playing with two Aeroclub seven cylinder Gnomes to make a twin row Oberusul, 
and it should work pretty well. I have a scratch built DVI fuselage and cowl 
already, one of those projects that somehow ground to a halt,  and the kit 
will save me a lot of time and trouble.

I figured that was the MMD number, and I wish that Squadron would get a
'800' number, even though it isn't the size of, say, IBM.  But when I had to
call them repeatedly to find out about an order, it cost a wee bit extra.
It would just be a nice convenience.  And a cookie.  I want a cookie too.

                                                                        DB

Peter says:

"No, that's the DIV. The DIII has the water cooled inline." 

But I think he's been making too many silk purses out of sow's ears, based on his latest D.VII.

The D.III has the twin-rowed Oberursel, and the mated 7 cylinder engines is the way to replicate it... wasn't that what you were trying to say?

You've got me worried now Lance. IIRC DI DIII inline, DII DIV rotary, yes? 
(anybody?)

BTW, the DVII wasn't so much a sow's ear as a pig's @r$E

Whatever part of the pig you used, it looks very nice.  Where did the "AL" for the top wing come from; paint?  How did you approach the checkered tail?  I need to get these facts before your mind wanders permanently.

Allan threw you out for perching on the "What's New" part of the Site, and your employer is going to crack down on internet abuse.

Then whoever is holding Eric's Spandau is going to beat the living daylights out of you... the arms on that guy scare me more than the machine gun.

Alberto:

Bill Devins, the winner in the 1/72nd scale biplanes category Region II 
contest in Maryland last October, won with an Ansaldo Baby.  He said he 
converted an Eduard baby and had to scratchbuild the tail parts.  What are 
the required changes/differences?

Michael

Lance, I think I'm the victim of a little gentle ribbing here, pork  spare 
ribbing of course ;-)

The AL is painted yes, and the checks are a standard Superscale decal which 
turned out to be just the right size. The wings BTW are in a ratio of approx 
1:1 plastic to milliput, it was probably that which finally turned my mind.

I see your point.  Manly Scale because it takes no brains to
build... ;-)

lance,
that's me so don't mess!!!!  boy i wish!!  he is a fireman who also is a
class 3 dealer here.(very nice guy)  he is even bigger in person.  i think
he carries the engine to the fire on his back.  i just hope when the paper
work is finished that he will part with it, i would hate to tangle with
him.  once i get it in my sweaty little hands i will attempt to record it
so we all can hear it's bark.  i am glad you like it!
now on to another topic,  i have just been informed by a historian that the
"axis" didn't come into being till 1939 so i need a new heading for the
axis kits so i can be correct, any suggestions oh learned ones?  TIA as usual.
regards,
eric
