It's made by DryLine (I believe) and it's something called Liquid Paper. I'm just reading what's on the dispensor, so I may have this wrong. Basically what it is is a "glue" dispensor. However, the glue it dispenses is the same sort of glue used on "Post-In Notes". All it does is dispenses the glue. I use it when I cut parts of plastic from plastic sheet using plans, such as those plans found in the Datafiles. Cut out the part you want to make in plastic from the drawings, apply this "glue" and stick it to the plastic. Using a very new blade you can cut out the part without causing the paper to move. I have yet to try it on paint, though. One of these days maybe.

Message-ID: <394D9461.9205CDE@x25.net> Jim, At the very least the address would have to start out with www. EG: www.baron@michiana.org which still sounds a little off at best. I have a small problem and I will look into it. In the 1960 time period, a large, (liquids), valve company, Leach Corp., had as an owner a Robert Leach. If I recall correctly. Mr. Leach had an avid love of aviation and commissioned paintings to hang in the hallowed halls of the company offices.. I was always interested in aviation and the Corporation had a note, in one of the aviation magazines I subscribed to, that they would send a series of Color Lithographs to people who asked and became "members of the group' so to speak. Being of sound mindand I never was stupid I subscribed since the cost was a single post card. Among the items I received was a of Capt Louis Strange in the invered aircraft. Being a "string "saver of some repute I never threw away anything that looked so good. I was once offered several hundred dollars for my collection and the answer is still no. I believe it was $600 I will check to see if more of the pictures are from that series. They are tucked away in a safe environment but available. I believe I have most if not all of them. They were mailed to me over a period of more than 12-15 years at a rate of about four to six at a time, and, maybe twice or three times a year. I started toi get them in Springfield, Mass and ended up with the last ones mailed to my home in Albuquerque, NM many years later. So. In case you were wondering about the prints I do believe I know where they come from. But I don't know how this guy got access to them or whether he got permission to post private property on the net.. I will let you know if they are the same ones.

Both came with white metal engines (which I wish they still made and included) and complete photoetch sets. However, being in the old mold style, the kit floor and bulkheads are just flat pieces of plastic instead of having all the excellent molded in detail like the DIII, which was made using their new moldmakers. I think I'm going to compromise on detail and resin cast new floor and control column parts and some other fiddlebits from the DIII parts and use them in the DV. The bulkheads, alas, will not fit the quite differently shaped fuselage.
