I also have all OT Profiles and as mentioned, some changes have been added over the years, the reading is excellent and the photos are good. From $2.50 to $7.00 I would consider ok.

TIA, Ken Zelnick >> I have most of the on-topic numbers (most bought when they were around 30-40 cents apiece...YeeeeeOuch!). Though some of the color work has been superceded, the photos alone make them worth (at least to me) up to $5-$6 whenever I come across one that I need or want. Usually the text is pretty good- although again- some material may be out of date. Good photos, ok text, and usually things like serial numbers, production batches etc.......neat little pamphlets.

When airborne, the wings would fold up if there were no wires holding them down Therefore, the wires going from lower inside (lower wing root) to upper outside (top of interplane struts) are the "flying" wires. Conversely, when on the ground, the wings would collapse if there were no wires holding them up. Therefore, the wires going from upper inside (top of cabane struts) to lower outside (bottom of interplane struts) are the "landing" wires.

Bloody artists. Red and black checks will do, who needs accents. Actually, this is a pertinant comment. The demon-head D.V attributed to Rumey by GvW (in the new Albatros book) has a dark fuselage on which a *faint* pattern may be visible. Given just how dark it looks, it could be black/red/orange/chrome yellow or any permutation or combination What a fantastic opportunity to confound the colour police!

Then a long forgotten order from Majors came in today. An Eduard 1/72 Albatross and the Osprey Albatross book. This is obviously a conspiracy. I hold each and every one of you responsible. Especially you Bittner. And I see you over in the corner too Horton. Trying to look all innocent. Anyway, soccer season ends Saturday so I get my life back till the High School season starts again in the fall. I may actually get to clear a space and work on this puppy. However, the Eduard Roland was in the same order. Decisions, decisions. By the way Matt, I got some brand new way cool 1/72 ot stuff. Drop me a line backchannel and I'll tell you about them.

The mag was loaned to me by the museum here that I'm building the Salmson 2A2 model for. What's this about having a kit of the Salmson 2A2?!?! I thought everybody had indicated there was no kit of a Salmson 2A2. I'm wondering if the kit contains answers to any of the questions I've been asking this list.

For all intents and purposes, you can stick a fork in the Camel: it's done. In a bit, I'll attach the rudder and control lines. A little touch-up sanding and a dab of paint here and there.

I tried to check if they still do, and realized I have not been there since my computer crash of about six months ago, so I no longer have the link. Perhaps someone else might pass that along to you....

I only regret not buying the bound volumes as well. that would have been the second smartest thing I did.
