I'm in the early stages of building the LoneStar DH-5 1/48 resin. The rib detail is like nothing I've ever seen before. Imagine instead of rib tapes, the folks at the DH factory used 2&1/2"x1/4" wood battens to secure the fabric. Even on the rudder and stab/elev. Quite unacceptable. But if not for the huge battens, the wings would be so nice looking. They're very thin overall and the te's can cut flesh. That makes for some delicate sanding if I don't want to sand away a big hunk of the TE. My intentions are to try repeated aps of heavy coats of auto primer, sanding the battens back to bare resin between coats, thus building up as I sand down. But this is just the first idea that came to mind. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has a better/faster/easier solution.

I was OK with the cockpit wood, except since the outer surface of the plywood was a reddish brown, I used some darker wood decal for the inside surface of the fuselage. I'll take it out. Probably would have to to sand or grind away the insides of the fuselage for the PE construct to fit anyhow. I had no idea the seat was horsehair covered wood (the Rose Parts resin seat I got for the C-III has a cushion, so black or brown, whatever I paint the seat, I'll paint the cushion the other for some contrast. This is my first time with this much PE and it's driving me nuts! I'm fixing a part in one place and unnoticed, I'm smashing or bending three other things out of shape. Fortunately, I can press most of it back against the inside fuselage when I close it up.

At least with things like former framing, you can back them up with suitably thin sheet styrene using CA as an adhesive. Then use the face side of the PE as a template to open up the 'fretwork.' You wind up with a section that has a more scale appearance, has more bonding surface, and is much less liable to kinking.

The tone of the background to the crosses is not even close to the green anywhere else on the plane, including the upper elevator surfaces which would presumably reflect light in the same manner as the upper wings. As to the green color on the fuselage, the accuracy of the color profile listed in Aircraft in Profile was reported by the author to have been authenticated by Karl Degelow, Dilthey's CO. I honestly don't see how one could get much more authoritative than that! I would guess the bottom line is that even recognized authorities often disagree (the seemingly interminable debate about Voss' cowling color being a case in point :->) so the best course is do what you think is right - only the actual folks who were there can authoritatively disagree!

It has one Bleriot landing gear leg and wheel pointing straight up. The tail is definitely Bleriot and is equipped with a tail wheel not skid. Caption also read that the crash was in 1909 so I think that predates the XI. Yes it is a rather large four cylinder in line with 8 sparkplugs an a chain driven reduction drive. TIA Tom S >> Hmmm... I have been looking through the book that I have. I am somewhat baffled. I have a picture of a crashed Bleriot VIII-bis that crashed in 1908, not 1909. I think that most of the experiemntal planes prior to the XI generally used a 50hp Antionette, which was 8 cylinders IIRC. There was an aircraft called the Bleriot XII, which I believe is the one Bleriot injured his foot in. This aircraft had a 35hp ENV engine, I don't know how many cylinders though and I don't think it crashed that hard. Do you have this pic scanned in? I will continue to look around and let you know if I find anything.
