Did old number 100 ever roll off the line? Inquiring minds want to know......... - JG -----Original Message----- From: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu [mailto:wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu]On Behalf Of Dennis Ugulano Sent: Friday, May 05, 2000 7:56 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Pegasus BE2e All, Just received the Pegasus BE2e (1/72nd scale of course) and thought I would give a brief first look. Typical grey plastic, 4 trees, 20 pieces. 10 metal parts, 3 pieces of strut material and a decal sheet for a captured BE2e, # 5836. There is the usual flash and heavy attachment points but the work is delicate and crisp. The wings are thin and the ribs are not overdone. The prop is attached in 3 places so I see some careful cutting to get it free. Reference material will be Datafile # 14 and it is a treasure trove for this model. Add to the mix a Blue Rider decal sheet that I have had for years (the date on the sheet is 1987) and I am poised to build a very interesting kit. The kit cost about $18 less postage. All in all, a nice kit and in my opinion, very well done.

LMK ASAP because > I can pick one up for $4... I got to say that this is one of my all-time favorite kits. I'm not sure of the accuracy and they were very heavy handed with the fabrick pattern but I just love the look of the thing when built. I've always been a big fan of Pyro kits. I've made the triplane twice, the first one I gave to a girlfriend in high school. yea, I know, it sounds kinda stupid, but ...it worked! The second one is sitting front and center on the shelves above my workbench. I've been thinking of fabricating a set of wire wheels for it lately. The wheels in the kit are made from clear plastic and your supposed to paint in the spokes and they look pretty bad. The kit takes a while to build , mainly because of the ridiculous amount of rigging. and it is pretty primitive by todays standards But if your into pre-war stuff you don't have a lot of options. And $4! - I think the thing is out of print. sounds like a great deal to me. But I don't think I'm up for a third btw I think I saw some nice photos of it on Allan's site Thanks for the info Matt Mark Miller _______________________________________________________________________ Why pay when you don't have to?

The fixes can be made, but it's tedious (or fun, depending on one's mood for the day). Perhaps it is nit-picky, but it does take a little of the "yippee!" out of the kit for me. Too bad, because I really like the rest of it. My main mistake was going with the kit engine. If I'd used another, more correctly sized item, the re-contouring wouldn't have seemed so daunting.

Then again it might just break my heart being the Linburg kit is far to close to being done to go back and correct anything now.

As far only one time they have mistaken. I ordered MS.225 and received interior set for F/A-18. I sent it back and still wait for my model. Shipping isn't very high but you must know that if they do not have item you ordered they send to you rest of order and model will be shipped when they get it. So shipping increase twice. Yesterday I received SPAD VII BM which I ordered about two months ago. It was sent April 28 and cost 2.10. Rest of that order I got much earlier. Surface shipping from UK to Poland take about 1 month, air 1 week. Usually shipping of packet consist of two-three models and some accessories worth about 35-40 cost about 4.50(air) or 2.50 (surface).

Pretty nice stuff - check it out http://members.aol.com/karrart/index.htm Also take a look at the dioramas - my personal favorites. Every time I look at the plans for the Bessonneau Hanger in aircraft archive v3 I think of how cool it would be to build it in 1/48 scale. Don't know where I would put it though - the thing would be huge. Photos of it look pretty strange - like it's covered whith a patchwork quilt. A perfect candidate for a little aesthetic historical modification (uh oh). Anybody seen any period shots of the insides of one of these. I 'd like to know genericaly how they're laid out.

Looks excellent. I don't think it's too yellow - some observers say the French CDL was a warmer colour. BTW, I did not replace the struts on the ICM Il'ya; there are 24 of them and it took me long enough to build without doing that. Four struts take me an evening, including staining them etc. Michael >From: smperry@mindspring.com >Reply-To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu >To: Multiple recipients of list >Subject: Dufaux Photos >Date: Sat, 6 May 2000 10:37:16 -0400 (EDT) > >Dufaux photos are up on: > >http://smperry.home.mindspring.com/sitepics.htm > >Andrew, Thanks for the references, Sure helped. > >sp > > >E-mail smperry@mindspring.com >Web Site http://www.freeyellow.com/members8/wwimodeler/ > ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: 6 May 2000 08:25:39 -0700 From: Mark Miller To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Dufaux Photos Message-ID: <20000506152539.18984.cpmta@c012.sfo.cp.net> On Sat, 06 May 2000, "Michael Kendix" wrote: Subject: Dufaux Photos Date: Sat, 6 May 2000 10:37:16 -0400 (EDT) faux photos are up on: >http://smperry.home.mindspring.com/sitepics.htm Andrew, Thanks for the references, Sure helped. sp Michael What a bizzare little plane. I don't remeber noticing it before - very cool and congrats on finishing something. I haven't touched a piece of plastic in three weeks. I think it's time for a surge. I guess I could start by turning off this infernal machine. Mark _______________________________________________________________________ Why pay when you don't have to?

Brings back memories from a long time ago. It was too odd of a kit not to add to my collection. I still have to find the photos I know exist. According to the reference work, the plane was actually sent to a front line squadron for testing. No, guys, I think I will pass on this one, says the test pilot. Now we need the SPAD A-2 in our collection for another bizarre attempt to get around the prop. Very nice model. Thanks for sharing.
