I should have said that the authors of this book are GRAY and Stair. The publisher is Wingspan. Yesterday after dinner I compared the Aeroclub DVI again against its plans (circa 1978). The wings and tail are quite OK, and the fuselage almost matchs that of the Dr1. However, when I compared the DVI fuselage against the Dr1 plans of the Datafile Special on the Triplane (1995?), seems like Stair has changed some dimensions, mostly in the overall lenght of the fuselage.

Well, of course, one would run a test sheet--no decal--through first to see where things landed and use that to provide a guide about where the decal paper part-sheet would go. I would be pretty hard to flub.

We are currently being swamped with Central Powers stuff. I'm quite happy about that, but it surely is high time that we proper scalers we're offered new renderings of some of the classics from the allied side. The venerable Revell SE5a has never been superceded, to my knowledge and is one that is crying out for an update. A decent SPAD XIII to replace the pretty ordinary Revell and Meicraft offerings and a VII to finally lay the old Airfix kit to rest would be most appreciated. Even a Camel to replace the Revell and Esci versions would be nice. I live in hope that as Eduard are bringing out a 1/48 SE5a and a Camel that 1/72 efforts may follow in the next 12 months.

Since my knowledge of the WWI air war, aeroplanes and modelling in general, is somewhat below the average, I dwelt on my own subjective view of things, and those topics of particular interest to WWI modelling. Consequently, I spent a longish time talking about rigging, lozenge decals and the like. We don't require that all attendees sit and listen to the monthly presentation, so those who remained to listen were all interested.

However, I am unsure as to the extent of the red colouring on the rear part of this particular aircraft. I've strained my eyes looking at the photo of said aircraft on page 58 of the Windsock Flying Circus Special. Rimmell says that Imrie notes the top deck as being red all the way to a point immediately aft of the cockpit. To me the photo seems to indicate that the red on the topdeck finishes at the same place it does on the fuselage, i.e. at the front edge of the fuselage crosses (am I making sense? Stay with me, please.) OTOH, our very own Bob Pearson, whose interpretation of photographs I respect, has drawn 152/17 as having no red on the top decking at all, i.e. it is just on the fuselage sides and tailplane. The esteemed Mr Hustad has modelled it as concurring with the Imrie description. The Roden box art has it that way, too. The Squad Signal book (which I have little faith in) on the back cover art shows it as up to the cross, as does a site I visited where some guys in Germany are building a 1:1 replica of it. The Eduard box art would agree with this also. I showed the photo to some of the guys at the local model club last night. Two saw it as the red being on the tailplane only; two others as extending on the top deck to the end of the fuselage crosses, and another guy reckoned that it went all the way to the cockpit and that it was a problem with an imperfect photo which had the rest of us fooled. Not sure what Rimell thinks. He may be partial to the Imrie view. In fact there even seems to be disagreement with the strut colours. Some have them as red, some as grey/blue and some have just the interplane struts as red and the cabanes as blue/grey. If I can't get a convincing answer on this I'll just do a Dicta Ira and apply what I *like* most. Your views would be appreciated. I may just have to put it to the vote and I consider you one and all as eligible voters. If you've read this far you deserve a beer. I'll buy you one when you come to visit me in Oz.

They're actual photos of Allied planes, some with soldiers posing alongside; neat pics. However, the seller in his description says the following: "The enigma is that there was no 10th Aero Squadron. I can find no record of the existence of this squadron, either in France or elsewhere. There is no reference to it in Maurer Maurer's books. No current unit can trace its lineage back to that unit. They are a mystery, like they never existed. Yet, there are all of these undeniably original WWI photographs." Anyone got any hints on this? I'm fascinated to know what the story is behind this....

This is probably a good business idea since many common parts will be used between the various Albatros kits with a few changes for each kit and different decals. It will allow them to get a lot of different kits on the market in a short time. Maybe next year they will start on a Nieuport series with about 6 or 7 different kits! Have to wait and see. Also remember that the 1997 Glencoe catalog shows the DH-4 as soon to be released!

He has a website; here's the address in case you haven't visited there yet.
