Jack Bruce in Fighters Volume 5 says that the L was developed from the Type G-19 which had a span of 33'5.5" (10.2m), although P.L.Gray in Aircraft Archive Volume 2 gives the prototype L a span of 34'0" (10.36m). The only 33'9" that I can find appears in the Harleyford Fighter Aircraft book and in Munson's Fighters 1914-19.

Message-ID: Jon wonders: "...if there are any good kits in this list, meaning worth the time to correct of course." I'm sure you're aware that all of the non-DML kits have been superceded by commonly-available alternatives EXCEPT the N.11. IIRC, the only alternative here in 1/48 is the OOP Blue Max version, at least until Eduard gets around to theirs. I echo the sentiment that the Glencoe kits are worth the purchase for their decals, and the observation that the deal you're being offered isn't much better than retail. IMHO, of course.

Is that how most of you do it?" First, welcome, Jack! By subbing from work, I make sure that my home-time is free for other pursuits, including building. The down-side, of course, is that all references are unavailable when I see the posts, and so I have to rely on memory or wait a day to obtain answers. The OTHER down-side is 150 personal messages on a company machine, and the ready excuse I've given my employer to fire my ass when he gets tired of it. What the hell, it's Friday...

How do you spend time on both the computer and the modelling table? You make a choice. I personally build or at least I used to. I spend most of my time at the modelling table and jump in here for short periods. Anyway, welcome to the craziest and most helpful group of modellers you are ever going to meet. One major requirement though. You are required to show off your work so we can all oooohhhh and ahhhh over it. We have an insatiable need to look at plastic, even if we just finished the kit last week for ourselves. I shall return to world of the builders in the very near future. # 100 is on the rigging table and I'm delaying it a little as I may have my digital camera is the very near future. Enjoy it here. This is great group and questions are answered in minutes.

Lyle ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2000 20:46:03 +0100 From: "Nigel Rayner" To: Subject: Re: CDL mixes Message-ID: <001501bfcccb$309d3620$ab44883e@nigelr> Hi all, Someone recently asked about previous posts concerning CDL. Here's a couple I saved away for a rainy day - didn't save who the original poster was, so apologies for no attribution...... the colour depends at least in part on which country the aircraft belongs to or was built/covered by. from what I have read these are the impression I get as to what the colours might have been: British CDL was a pale off white (tinge of beige) French was initially any of: slightly light yellow similar to British slightly yellower colour than the british (also on British) Later it got darker and became ecru - a light orange brown Russian was grey with a hint perhaps of yellow Early German was like French Late German was like Russian but slighly less grey Austro-Hungarian used a very translucent fabric probably like French yellowish beige off white colour For CDL, well, you're going to find many variations. I like using Humbrol, and I usually start with #76 Linen and #103 Cream as the mixing base colors. >From there I add differing amounts of #72 Khaki Drill, #159 Khaki Drab, #92 Iron Grey, and #34 White to give variations. My basic British/French fresh CDL is 3 parts #76 + 1 part #34. Slightly aged British/French its more complex, roughly 45 % #76, 40% #103, 10% #34, and adjust the other three as whim leads. My basic German CDL is based on #103/#34 roughly 2:1 -- it gives a more caramel look to the CDL, effects may also use Humbrol 84, 94, 95, and 97 (I mean some of the yellow-tans -- Afrika Korps, British 8th Army, Middlestone, etc. --I'm not sure I have the numbers right.) CDL should be subtle. Very small variations in the paint mixture can lead to very noticable shifts in the color or effect, giving something that looks like an unpainted cloth. If the above is *your* work, you can justifiably feel proud it's been saved away and referred to more than once!

These are Alps printed, and I just received a couple of sets in 1/72 and 1/48 scale (I just like to try and please everybody). These are definitely interesting - you get nine bolts of upper and lower on a single sheet in 1/72, or eight bolts each of upper and lower on two sheets in 1/48 (no rib tapes). The decals are all in register, although under close inspection you can see the individual pixels a bit. However, this gives quite an intriguing effect - it gives a hint of the "faded denim" effect that several listees have suggested lozenge fabric might have. The colours are on the dark side, but look acceptable to me (but I'm no expert - Barry, how about giving a sample to someone knowledgable to review?). So a worthy effort, and hopefully we'll see more from Barry (and Tangopapa decals). Unfortunately it'll be a while til you see em on my models - two Albatri to build for the cook up first. But then, the DML DVII as Bolle's machine.....

I had a time getting subscribed myself, glad you made it. You'll find not only WWI info here, but support and encouragement as well. Tell us what you're currently building. The only thing we're better at than modeling is looking at pictures of other modeler's work ;-) sp ps: Pay no mind to the "Scale Wars" they only exist in certian1:48 and 1:72 minds ;-) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 02 Jun 2000 16:38:26 -0500 From: "Lance Krieg" To: Subject: Re: CDL mixes Message-ID: Thanks to Nigel and the anonymous originator; the national variations are helpful and I will start to tint my CDLs accordingly. Is there a provenance to the recipe? My own CDL is much less scientific, and in fact works on the bodega system: a basic pot of (mostly) Floquil paints, sort of a generic tan. With the start of each new project, the pot gets topped off, skewing the color in one direction or another, as the references or spirits move me. Whatever is left over at the end becomes the starting point for the next model. I do the same thing with PC10. FWIW Lance ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 2379 **********************
