Fokker DrI DML 1/48th 2 weeks - 65% complete so far very easy to build, so much so I've scratch built an interior added extra instruments .020 rod and rigging, most to be hidded by the ammo box using Testor's Sand, Humbol Dark Green and Gunze Turquoise.

Also, if somebody loans you some prints, you can scan them. All the photos at http://pease1.sr.unh.edu/Images/Stettler/index.html were scanned from 3 X 5 prints that Barry Stettler loaned me.

So far I´ve got the wings and one side of the fuselage done. Idon´t know when I´ll finish, but Its fun. Do you plan to use the resin for the undercarriage, or will you replace with strutz or plastic ? I´m being really original by planning to use the Blue Rider decals for Kempf, but using Eisene Kreuze instead of the Balken Kreuze.

It's a tad off topic but does anyone know where I can get my hands on some references on L'Oiseau Blanc. yes it was post WW1 but it was the floatplane that Nunguesser and Coli were flying when they disappeared on a cross Atlantic attempt. Also is there a kit of said bird? I'm interested because the plane is supposed to have crashed somewhere here in Newfoundland. We've had various science boffins visiting over the years with sonar etc trying to find a trace. Recently they even made a TV move of it - alas the plane they mocked up as L'Oiseau blanc was an old Stearman, I believe. All I know about this particular kite is she had a boat style hull and I believe float thingies on the wings. I did once get a look at some drawings (forgot where) and noticed that it was doomed from the start. The keel was so shallow that any water landing would have caused wash to flood the lower wing. . .I guess it took off from dry land. I'm interested in fiunding a kit because I have this odd fantasy to model a series of all the planes Nunguesser flew. Anyone help? P.S. tks for all the CDL advice. Keep it coming.

Just went out to buy more for my Caudron G3 and a couple of other kits recently purchased in my headlong dive back into WWI subjkects and - horror - no #74 to be found. tried every model shop in the city (grand total 2) as well as some other craft stores. Can anyone tell me if there is a good equivalent colour in the Testors Model Master or Tamyia acrylic lines. Failing that does anyone have any suggestions for mixing up my own batch?

I also have kids which makes it pretty dangerous to keep anything around for more than a few weeks! I don't do much mods yet (unlike most of the people from this list) since I am new and don't know how to really change/fix things like most members of the list. But I am learning fast thanks to the great people here. I also "steal" a lot of ideas from here. And yes, about every other kit I have a disaster that I have to fix, but when I fix it, it usually isn't near as bad as I thought and I can usually hide it with pastels or something else. For example my AlbD3 on MM was completed real fast, in about 15 hours, but that was a "dream" build with no real challenges. ----Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: To: "Multiple recipients of list" Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2000 1:13 PM Subject: Re: Aeromaster lozenge decals > In a message dated Thu, 30 Mar 2000 3:56:15 PM Eastern Standard Time, "laskodi" writes: > > << Thanks Otis, you are far too kind in your appraisal of my stuff. > Actually, I'm a relative newbie to modeling and hope to some day be as good > as most of the people on this list! > And I definitely agree with your assessment that the more lozenge from > diffferent manufacturers the better! > ----Bob > > Well you're already better than this member and I've been building models off and on (admittedly more off than on) for 35 years.

They're all terrific, best printed sets I think I've ever had from Americals. In particular though, the Cigognes are magnificent. They've been out quite some time, and unlike Matt I'm not that much of a fan of silver Nieuports, but I regret not having bought them earlier. NOT that I intend building 19 MS and Nieuport aircraft in 1/48, but I'll have to build at least one now Shane (PS - 56RFC is nice too - bloody JTB McCuddens non-white surrounded roundels and all - and the Jasta 19 Albatrii and D.VII neatly round out the JG.2 coverage) ************************************************************** The information contained in this E-Mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).
