I have a request for them that should fulfill their two interests: WW1 and guns. A long sought project of my dad was to make a miniature replica of a Lebel rifle (those used in ww1 by the french), maybe in 1/4 scale. His numerous arms magazines never have brought useful plans of this weapon. Could anyone of you have line drawings of such a gun? I'll be very grateful if you could direct me to a reliable reference source too. Thanks in advance D. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gerald P.

I hope this helps. Matt Bailey 2. Where does the cable from the top wing gun run down to in the cockpit? This is the gun firing cable and runs to the control column, I believe, where a clamp secured a trigger lever to the cable. Lance --== Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ ==-- Share what you know.

It has to do with the vertical members being paired on the bottom part of the weave, and then the pairs are separated, and paired with other ones. I know that this is confusing, but I'll try the ASCII graphic explanation: This is the way they are when you start to weave: II II II II II II II II II II II II Then, when you get to the 'X' part, it goes: II II II II // \\ // \\ // \\ // \\ // x \\ // //\\ \\ // // \\ \\ II II II II Or like that. Each 'II' is a single wire. This diagram might not help much, but the photos might. Just remember that each vertical 'rib' on the chair is actually a double, and after the 'x gap' they are separated, crossed over each other, and recombined with the neighboring ribs. Maybe by next week, I will have a good photo for you.

What's neat, is that the zig-zag "stitching" on the fuselage just below the cockpit rim is VERY clearly visible, so much so that you can even see light lines of rust or discoloration from under some of the points on the zigging.

Too bad it wasn't a few years ago, Paul Freiler's was not that far from El Segundo and ten years ago (before the 20-nothing gamers got hired to run the place into the ground) was pretty good. You could waste your time driving down to Brookhurst, and they may have OT decals that are OOP and unavailable elsewhere, but they haven't really been worth the hassle of South LA/North Orangutan County traffic for at least three years - and recent reports say the decline is now into negative-number log-log scale, once again due to the gamers taking over and giving two diddles in hell about models. There are never any bargains there, all MSRP, but sometimes you could find things you wouldn't elsewhere. The only "pub-style" hobby shops left are in Burbank, at Burbank House of Hobbies and Tony & Addie's Hobby Lobby, but neither have much OT content. House of Hobbies is having a 35%-off sale on April 1 that is good for getting paint and supplies tho. There used to be Smith Brothers, who are still in Reseda over in the West Valley, but they have gone into decline too, and have severely reduced their decal holdings. Basically, in LA, the best way to shop is via the internet, though there are some interesting OT models to be seen at Hobby Lobby - though they're all RC, since Tony and Addie are championship RCers (she used to be a model-maker for Lockheed's wind tunnel when there was an aerospace industry in Southern California). There are, however, a number of interesting List Members in the area, including the famous RK, the well-known California Liberal Extremist/List Goddess Candice Uhlir, Peter Crow, and your Faithful Correspondent.

I tried some of the rest of the site, and some of the links as well, but mostly they concentrate on strange looking things with only half (or one third) of the proper number of wings, no propellers and just a hole where the engine should be!

Wingspan Publications 1978. I was turned down three times. The first because my stupid sister had never bothered to take out Aussie citizenship and left me five points short on the acceptance scale. After she rectified the omission I tried again only to find they'd changed the rules and I was STILL five points short. At this point my sisters father-in-law, who happened to be over here at the time to do battle with the war pensions department, waded in. Much desk thumping and cries of "I faught and died for this bloody country!" then ensued and the nice lady at the window agreed to look at the case again in six months. She did, and she knocked me back again. After three attempts and six hundred quid I decided perhaps it was time to give up, though I did consider uncle Frank's offer to put me ashore at Darwin with the single word "EFFOOGEE" writen on a large piece of card. cheers Peter L ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 15:33:03 -0300 From: "dfernet0" To: Subject: RE: Vamp Hobbies Message-ID: <007301bf95bf$63c1ca40$4640a8c0@ssp.salud.rosario.gov.ar> Latest Windsock has an article written by St. Harry himself (Pfalz DIII on the cover).

The hump looks "taubian", however I can't recall radiators fitted that way... not surprisingly, since the Tauben were made by a myriad of manufacturers an no one were alike... This one even has steel tubes instead of wooden struts... a Stahltaube! What left me thinking is that wire that goes horizontal closely over the wing... what it would be? Fascinating.

The decals include two versions for the port side of the aircraft. One with the handle of the sword facing aft and the other forward. I think I have only see it facing aft. Does anyone have any comments on this? 2. Jacob Polinger's blue-tailed, swastika-sided aircraft. Only problem here was I didn't care much for the lozenge colors (what else is new), but they are better than the past copies done by Eduard. 3. Hans Bethge's striped aircraft. This looks really cool, BUT I have a problem with the scheme. Illustrations of this aircraft have led me to believe that it was silbergrau with black stripes. Eduard advises that the entire fuselage was white with gray (grey) stripes and a black outline around the white tail fins. Does any of the learned members want to voice their opinions on this? I have a feeling Eduard really blew it on this one. As Witold said earlier, this is a great kit.
