Message-ID: Howdy! I am getting ready to populate the interiors of a couple of my two seat projects. I don't know if map and binocular cases are black or brown leather. Is there any other "stuff" that might collect in the interior? Perhaps the rear gunner would enjoy a smoke while the aircraft gains altitude :) Another question. What did the ground crews use to patch damge to the wings? Lozenge fabric? Whatever was around? I'd like to put a few patches in the wings of my Halberstadts and I'd like use the right stuff. Thanks!

This one has the 1 piece cowl. It may have been a prototype. Somewhere I thought I saw photos that 101 & 102 had these 1 piece cowls. Of course, say Voss did change out the engine (the way Jacobs did with his). Maybe the cowl was changed because the 1 piece wouldn't fit? Cowl changes? Maybe they would have had time do a yellow paint job! Careful sir! You are challenging some of my most tightly held biases!!!! ;-) >> Wouldn't want to challenge a tightly held bias...that sounds painful! Anyway- yeah, that pic of the fuselage with Fokker himself standing in the cockpit does look like it had a one piece cowl with a little nip&tuck on the lower lip edges. Imrie's tripe book says it may be 101/17. You may have on the solution- multiple cowls!.....maybe Voss had a different cowl for every day of the week! Also- I think your personal bias beats mine- ever since I saw of painting purporting to be Voss' tripe that showed it bright(not light) blue with a red cowl, my mind refuses to see anything else- and this was around 1964/5, in the second or third Air Classics ever printed! No telling what else I saw in that era that twisted me forever.

There are several types listed in their newspaper add from a $49 model, 36-bit color scanner with 300 x 600 DPI optical resolution to a top-of-the line $99 scanner with "photo-quality results." If I'm just going to be using it to scan in photos of my models and my kids and sending the pictures to WW1 Mailing list, SMML and grandparents, what specifications do I need to look for? I'm in digest mode and will rush home after work to eagerly read your recommendations. Then it's off to Fry's in the morning. << Hi Marc, I concur with what Cameron has written in the digest. I can recommend the Canon FB630P which has a max colour resolution of 600dpi (more with software). This scanner has the advantage of taking up a very small desk area (it's only 40mm high). I can also recommend Adobe Photoshop for your software as well, although there are cheaper programs around. This scanner beats my old one hands down.

I have all of the OT numbers in one form or another and, even though some of the colour profiles are now shown to be inaccurate, the pix are well captioned and most of the tech stuff is just as valid as it was forty years ago when it was first printed.

I do. It's your. Just need a snail mail address. I probably have it somewhere but its easier to ask for it again instead of looking for it. It's a nice kit. I have two in the collection. The Wings 72 vac and the Pegasus kit. The Wings 72 was a challenge. Very heavy metal parts. So much so there is weight in the tail to keep it from falling on its nose. Now that's different. I have a hankering to build the Caproni Bomber by Miekraft. Since the discussion about the prices on Ebay, I don't want to go out there and get raped. If you know of anyone who has one that they will release for a reasonable price let me know. I saw the kit when it was brand new and it looks like quite an undertaking. I could not afford it at the time. But I will back in the mix on June 1 and I think that will be a nice addition to the collection. # 100 is progressing nicely. Hopefully it will be complete by June 1. Then I will reveal it to the group. Two other kits are right on its tail plus I have to finish something for IM that Bob sent me forever ago. Thank you for your hard work on the web page and your endless updating. I don't comment much but I do appreciate what you are doing. I know how much time that takes away from the work bench.
