Speaking of 'the fellow in Vermont', Ross sent me an email that he will be
in Florida for the OTF seminar. Time to renew some old acquaintances (and
make some new ones) .. looks like a nice group of listees are going to be
there. Wear your buttons guys..  ..  Or we should come up with an easy
design that those without the button can easily draw on their seminar badge
so we can recognoze them.

Perhaps steal a page from C&C(Int) and do a roundel with a cross ontop of
it. ..   or an xacto knife and paintbrush crossed under a silhouette of a
WW1 aircraft ...

Things to do, things to do . . . .

Shane;

As you answered yourself  its the Bavarian Lion version as interpreted by Greg
van Wyngarden (camouflaged vice white/black stabilizers/elevator.  I used the
Errormaster (Aeromaster) decals.  Yes I know the port lion is facing the wrong
way but until I get my ALPs and graphics software (and a computer with enough
umph to run everything) I'll backslide.  Solution, display the model starboard
side on, only you and I and the rest of the list will know.  I did the model
with a natural varnished wood fuselage with dark green cowl panels and fuselage
spine even though a study of the photographs leads me to believe that the
fuselage my well have been aluminum doped or painted light gray (or some other
orthochromatically light color).  I happen to like varnished wood fuselages (so
does SWMBO which makes for less resentment from her when I desert her right
after dinner (supper -  whatever in your part of the world) to descend down to
my dungeon basement work area).  Anyway, the model is about  85% complete.  I'm
at the attach upper wing phase.  Would probably be done (I've been working on
this beast since just before Christmas last year) Ii hadn't had to strip,
rebuild and repaint the upper wing when the Eisenkruezen bubbled up on me when
I  went to seal them a day after they were applied.  This is my fifth Albatros
fighter by the way, two Eduard D. III's (MvR and Voss) and three D.V's
(goerings, von Hipple's red dragon and von Schleich) it will by no means be my
last.  So many great Albatros schemes, so little time.  Anyway ala Dicta Ira I'm
having fun with it.  Even made a faired rear view mirror and telescopic gunsight
for it.  I am so stricken by AMS I have to try to include all the doodads.  Wish
me luck when I again attemp to seal the upper wing decals tomorrow.

     This is a great thread that you started, Matt. I'm finding that as time 
goes on, I'm focusing more and more on WWI aircraft.  My interest in figures 
is also increasing and has nothing to do with OT stuff.  I haven't built a 
car or armor in a couple of decades.  Jets have never been very interesting, 
though there are a few WWII olanes I like.  It is the time factor mainly.  
With all of the great OT stuff coming out, I just won't have any time to do 
the ot kits I have stacked in the corner.  I'm beginning to sense my own 
mortallity.

"..I'm looking on ebay, at the ICM Pfalz E.IV and was wondering how
     many of us have built the WW1 monoplanes?..."

I have my version of the Pfalz E1 on my web site, and I kitted the Bristol 
M1C and H-B W29 in resin. There are at least two models in the Flashback 
Taube, I would like to do a Nieuport monoplane, and I'm already laying a 
trail of breadcrumbs hoping to lure Eric's forthcoming Morane AI to the work 
bench. By my reckoning you could have an OT collection of around a dozen and 
never touch a bi-plane

My later 'best man' still tells the story of he and me standing on the
White Cliffs of Dover back in 1964 (we were a pair of young RCAF flying
officers at the time).  We heard a strange noise and I looked up and
exclaimed, "It's a Bristol Boxkite!".  He still swears that he could
have stood on the cliff with a thousand people and not another one would
have identified the thing...  We chatted briefly with Air Commodore
Wheeler after we found the flying field and had just wangled an
invitation to watch the filming from close up when the $#@^& press
arrived.  The Air Commodore reluctantly allowed as how he would have to
let the press in if they saw us enter, so the whole thing was turned off
(filming was being done rather secretively so we hadn't even heard of
the forthcoming movie beforehand).  Another opportunity lost - but how
many other list members have actually seen a Boxkite fly?

It do raise goosebumps don't it Dave? Old Warden on a still summer evening 
is a place to be, that's when they put up the old timers. The boxkite is of 
course a replica, rather more robust then the real thing and with power in 
hand, but the thought never occurs to you as you watch it float round the 
circuit while the Bleriot does short hops in the middle of the field. How on 
earth did anyone go to war in a machine that really only functions in pretty 
well ideal conditions?

Hi
uff, I thought that most of you build only OT and I'm not "real" WWI
modeler, but now I feel better. I built single seat, single engine
fighters in 1/48 and others planes in 1/72. OT only in 1/48 but since
I've built my first Nie.17 (ESCI 1/72) about 10 years ago I can't stop
loving this planes. And thanks to the list and all infos in the net (I
love wwi modeling page, internetmodeler and all yours personal web
pages) my stockpile of OT is growing and growing and... Now it's about
50% OT - rest are also biplanes as Lindberg Gladiator or Classic P-12
and some WWII stuff. One more thing, if I say plane I mean something
with wings and propeller ;-)
PS. My next project will be Bristol M1C from Spin, inspired of course by
Toms review.

Bob:

A friend at work who is from the UK said that his "Aunt" (Family friend) was
one of the pilots and flew the Avro and the Boxkite that were used in the
movie. I'll see if he recalls the book title.

AeroMaster makes a sheet with these markings in 1/48 scale, #48-181.

Unfortunately, I believe that the port side lion appears to be facing the
wrong way. (OTF Vol. #13, No.3, Fall 1998).

Regardless, One day I may use it and do his black D.VII as shown on the
cover painting by Jack Hunter. Yeah, the scheme is speculative, but that
will allow me a certain artistic freedom.

Oh boy, oh boy!
First impressions: Some very nice profiles - 42 of 'em ISTR (although the
first two DIIs looked a bit dodgey around the tail end of the fuselage.)
Seems well written and informative. Norman Franks was a good author to
contract, I believe.
Quite a few photos I haven't seen before, and mostly well re-produced. A
page on horizontal tailplane markings and a page on wing markings (all
related to the profiles).

Also saw the cover of the Nieuport Aces title due for release in April.

I'm most certainly going to purchase one.

"Who will be coming to Dallas in July for the Nationals?"

I am planning to go,  though I am not crazy about the long drive.  But the thought of flying to Dallas with a couple of contest entries makes my blood run cold.  The last time I went to one of these, I was carrying a carefully packed box, avoiding contact with all other passengers, sweating profusely, and looking like a man with a bomb.

Anyone have any tips for transporting their fragile OT planes through airports?

Matt,
I've built the Formaplane AI and the Veterans AC, along with the Bristol M1c
by Airmodel and a MoS type G converted from a Revell Fokker (one of the few
useful German kits). New fuselage, of course, and undercarriage and tail
feathers. Come to think of it, only the wings (modified) came from the kit.

Still to build are the Blue Rider Bleriot, theTemens MoS I, the Classic
Planes Deperdussin, the Joystick MoS P and scratch built MoS L.   Should
keep me out of the Pub for a week or three.

Regards   Len.

Bob,
The book sounds like "Building Aeroplanes for 'Those Magnificent Men'" by
Air Commodore Allen Wheeler.  It details the selection,building and flying
of the A/c, and some of the problems involved.  One of the problems was the
Demoiselle, which had to be flown by Joan Hughes as she was the only
available pilot light enough to get it into the air.  Sounds like fun.

why not just scan them from their mountings? - Have it professionally

Thanks Diego,

  This reminds me, which MvR book was it that someone had given a "thumbs
up" endorsement of.  They had mentioned it contained several "new" photos
and I believe it may have been from Norman, or Franks, or possibly Kilduff.

Thanks,
Dave W.

Message-ID: <00e701bf8a06$a154f680$620d8ec3@yilmazer>

Dear Mike,

My problem is not getting a copy of the photo, I have the professional
facilities to do that, the problem is to read the inscriptions on the back
of the photo, which I hope will be containing information about the date,
place, occasion and identities of equipment and people seen on the photo.

To all those that have put forward various suggestions; thank you all.

The steam and moisture method is an old trick, very effective in opening
sealed envelopes. But I fear the paper of the photo may absorb the moisture
from the steam and the photo will be destroyed. Another thing that worries
me greatly is destruction of the inscription at the back if it is made with
ink. Many years ago I had the most undesirable experience of destroying a
special cancellation stamp (I was not aware that it was made with a
water-soluble ink) while removing a very old postal stamp from the paper of
the envelope, using the old method of dipping in water for a few minutes. I
will eventually seek the help of an expert at one of the local archives or
at a library. I just wanted to know the views of list members before taking
that final step. Once again, many thanks to all those who expressed their
views.
