If one takes 80+ years of fading into account, it might be a good match for the colors of the French Tricolor; certainly much better than the ludicrous grayish blue and brownish ruddy tone in the Blue Max Nie 28 kit that's supposed to pass for cockardes.

Both look about like Revell quality to me. I don't have any plans to compare them to, so I don't know who accurate they are. But the parts do seem delicate. Interior detail includes the fuel tank behind the pilot. It looks like each kit shares a duplicate sprue containing mostly the fuselage and interior parts. The other sprues carry the parts that make these two aircraft different. As Barry noted in his description, the Fokker has three guns. I'm hoping all I have to do is putty over the middle hole and leave the other two to make an accurate model, though I'm thinking I might have to bring the two holes closer together than they are now. I was a little disappointed in the decals. Just your basic crosses and codes. At least I don't have to worry about whether to use four-color or five-color lozenge. Although, I understand there is some controversy over using a linen color or a greyish color for the fabric. I'm pondering the possibility of rigging each plane with only one string. Must pre-plan. These look like they're going to be fun.

I only ask because I spent about 4 hours yesterday weaving the wicker seat out of very fine wire, and if I'm gonna be like that, I want to represent the most accurate harness possible. The only thing that I understand about it is that it's apparently a Sutton-type lap belt that is made of canvas or similar and is about eight inches wide. Now, let's see how long I can spend on those! I also added new push-rods to the engine, and rod bushings on the crankcase. The engine has nice detail, but the halves don't mate perfectly, and I hope that enough of the cylinders are sufficiently good so that I can turn the bad ones into the cowling! I am not gonna saw off the cylinders, clean them up separately, and put them back on: the seam is nearly invisible from the front. I also added the control-wire guides in the cockpit, the glass tube fuel-level (and connected it to the fuel tanks), the pulleys on top of the rudder bar, and made a rear engine mount. Now I need to see what I will add after all of the detail stuff gets here - I'm looking forward to working on that instrument panel! I added the cockpit coaming - remember that I have replaced the deck and side ply panels with wood veneer - from electric wire insulation; same stuff I used to pad the seat top. The wood grain looks pretty good in 1/28 scale. I have decided that since in such a large scale, the grain in the wing struts would be visible, I'm going to make them from wood, and if thick enough, a brass wire through them. Since the struts are units in the kit, I have four large trenches in the wings to fill. I am impressed at how Revell molded the wings - for a late 1950's era kit, and I have a 1969 boxing, the ailerons are actually connected by molded hinges, and an actual gap there that needs but a little cleaning up. What quality! Also, I really hate to have to add a top wing to this - it will hide so much detail that it starts to bug me, and then I remember Dicta Ira, and I'm back on the job. Sorry to be so long, maybe it'll help absolve me of some of the ot stuff...

Check Squadron, and other places, but look under Hasegawa - I think you can find it. Also, DML is re-releasing alot of their 1/48 scale range, I don't remember if the D.VII is among them, but the DML info was in SAMI a few months ago. Don't be too quick to pass up the Monogram kit, as you can make it into a nice model, and to do so (get the Eduard Brass set - it even gives you nose panels - but I don't think that it has Spandaus, which are available separately), you'll spend about as much as you would for the DML kit (I bought the Monogram kit for as little as three dollars).

Short review. Two sprues, on old with upper wing, struts, engine,stabilizer etc. moulded in light grey and one totaly new with fuselage halves and two types of lower wing with square and rounded tips moulded in beige plastic. And the rest of kit is really fantasitc: Photoetchet parts fot seatbelts, guns, interior details looks very similar to that one from first editions od D.III but it is nor the same, vinyl mask for masking tail, and 3 sheets of decals - one with personal markings for three different planes and two with lozenge for wings and two little with stipes. Markings for Berthold red-blue with "flying sword" personal marking (two identical and third reversed) and two others with lozenge and silbergrau fuselage. Sorry don't remember pilots, I forgot to take instuction to office. One with swastika and one with dark grey horizontal stripes. It takes only 1min to make decision buy or not. That red-blue one sholuld look very nice near D.III in Voss markings Cheers -- Witold Kozakiewicz ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 04:25:48 -0500 From: smperry@mindspring.com To: Subject: Re: More 1/28 Camel info needed Message-ID: <005901bf9572$f1ab29c0$100356d1@default> Dave: How did you make the Xs in the gap between the two wicker portions of the seat back? sp ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 12:33:00 +0100 From: "Alberto Casirati" To: Subject: Re: WW1 Aero magazine Message-ID: <00b301bf9584$b6811dc0$320106c0@acasirat> Dear David, I should have some of them.
