They are also selling copies of Ferko's own book Fliegertruppe 1 and Fliegertruppe 2 .. at far below ebay costs.

The directory contains many photos of models which are not Hasegawa products - maybe from some show or just there because Hasegawa has a "gallery" page. There are two 1/48 kits - and the Blue Max one has their typical treatment of ribs which is more like tapes on an unribbed surface. This one has raised ribs which infers Monogram or a major skinning effort. Whatever, the Camel is nice, and the seat and engine are beeeeooootiful.

Message-ID: <003b01bf8509$2feb1a80$04e8b094@sandyada> Hi Guys At long last I have just managed to get a copy of Harald Penrose's "British Aviation - Great War and Armistice" from a bookshop in Tucson AZ called Beachcomber Books. After an initial hiatus over wrong books the owner, Jim Thorvaldson came up trumps and I got a few other tasty goodies too. Now, I've seen postings recently requiring some of the classic WWI aviation literature and Jim seems to have many of them - things like "Eiserne Kreuz und Balkan Kreuz" ($25) and lots of other German text stuff. Harleyfords, Putnams, FMP etc at fair prices. I have no connection other than as a satisfied customer but, if you are interested drop him a line on beachcomber2@email.msn.com Sandy ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 03 Mar 2000 08:06:14 -0600 From: "Lance Krieg" To: Subject: Re: Seat Belts Message-ID: Matt: "pictures of French seat belts..." are in WWIAero, #135, page 62 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2000 22:50:54 +0800 From: "David Solosy" To: "'WW1 List'" Subject: RE: Eduard Albatros D.Va control column WAS: March Internet Modeler Message-ID: <14560641164001@argo.net.au> Shane Read your Alb DV control column stuff and have to say: come on man, get a grip (bad pun there). Is this what happens when you for give the red a nudge? With dedication to accuracy and detail like that I can only feel left in your wake. (My only consolation is that, I make a pretty good omelette.) I'm going to read what you wrote one more time, then I'm going to tackle a Margaret River Cab Sav. You're type drive me to drink, Weir.

Also, I understand there is another product, I think called Alumilite? Any knowledge of these or suggestions of other products for casting repairs would be appreciated.

Very odd. I have yet to see any of the shops carry them, but someone on ebay is selling both the ICM Fokker E.IV and the Pfalz E.IV (plus the TB-3 if you're into early VVS aircraft ). Maybe these will be showing up on the "shelves" soon.

Alumilite (despite its name) is a resin commonly used for castings. It would probably work in this application, though I believe you could effect the same repairs with any body putty, and have an easier time.

There is something interresting. The photo was taken at the aeroport of ' Villers Autreaux or Bretanneaux - i have a little problem to identify the handwriting of my grandfather. He took several shots of this place by air and on the ground. There where no hangars, only tent's - you can see this at the left wing in the background. The page before belongs to the time when he was with the Kampfstaffel 4 in 1916. I think it's possible that this aircraft has something to do with this. Under the photo it is written ' Crash 280 ?? (could not read it on the video - maybe it means St - for Staffel-but i don't believe that they have so high numbers at that time) Albatros '..... Buy the way, i'm just working to bring some more picturtes into the net should be available today or tommorrow. It's clearly to be seen on the original that the end of the reg on the tail ends with a /16 - for 1916 i think. Thomas" Go to your libraries and look for these data! And hold on your keyboards until tomorrow! D. ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 2171 **********************
