I look up, and an olive and grey (didn't notice any yellow) B-17 go overhead. What a thrill! And there was the time when I was still living in N.O. and heard a horrible racket overhead, and saw a Ju-52 'Iron Annie' flying over (loudest and harshest sounding thing I have ever heard). Wish I could say that I have seen the Vimy - maybe some other day.

Maybe someone might find it useful/Neil ----------------------------------------------------------- We discovered tin-foil getting on for twenty years ago, I think it is (was) used by window-decorators for masking off glass. It comes in rolls and looks rather like kitchen-foil, but it's much thinner and flexible, more like gold-leaf. It cost something like 100 USD, so we sawed the roll into three small rolls, about 4 inches long. One applies it wet, apply soapy water, position it and wait 10 minutes, then buff it on, it sticks like a skin, you can then cut patterns in it with a sharp knife. I often apply it to something else, cut my shape, then lift it off and reapply it to my model. You need to spray paint, brush-painting would probably leak. The reults are amazing, you can mask on things that are virtually impossible otherwise, things like corrugated aluminium on Junkers a/c, and the edges are super-sharp, much better than tape. Now for the down side, it falls off when dry, but you can re-wet it, the adhesive action is so strong that it eats paint, leave it on acrylics for an hour and they're ruined, Humbrol works fine, but even that worries me, I've a feeling that I've had problems with some oil-based paint (aluminium perhaps), and finally price and availability. If you can find it, its well worth buying, I don't use it so much nowadays when there is Tamiya tape available, but for some things its still unbeatable. /Neil ---------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 16:21:38 -0400 From: Dennis Ugulano To: "wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu" Subject: Re: Source of 1/48 scale Liberty Engines Message-ID: <200009171621_MC2-B3A7-7C46@compuserve.com> Candice, Aeroclub can be reached at aeroclub@compuserve,com.

I'm using a wood called Paduak for my Nieuport 28 propeller, it's certainly wrong, but it's red looking, like the one in Windsock 4-91. Since writing this I got a grip on myself and had a look through my better references, and found NOTHING. Not even Harry the God mentions what propellors are made of, just how to make them. So my question remains, what kind of wood is the Nieuport 28 propellor made of? Best Regard Neil PS. I'm reading the digests so maybe this question is already answered, in that case please ignore this. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 16:35:41 -0400 From: Lyle Lamboley To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Rumpler C.IV Message-ID: <20000917.164944.-233113.0.lyle.lamboley@juno.com> Gaston, > I just posted a set of 5 new color pictures at Jasta Boelcke.

Oswald is in the rear seat of a two seater with Wilhelm standing next to it but I have no idea what type of aircraft it is. All info that I have is that both was flying together in Feldflieger-Abteilung 13 in Pontfaverger, 1915, until envious mates made their life hard and they asked for transfer to different units. Can you tell me anything about that aircraft such as type, technical data, colors, markings? I believe that it could be either an L.V.G. or A.E.G but I am not certain with that. Any info would be gladly welcome. You can access the picture at a new page devoted to UNIDENTIFIED AIRCRAFT. Please go to the AIRCRAFT section at Jasta Boelcke. If you have any pictures you cannot identify please do not hesitate to contact me offlist. I'll be happy to post it at that page for you so other may provide you the information needed. Pictures of unidentified Allied aircraft are also welcome indeed. sincerely Gaston Graf Meet the Royal Prussian Fighter Squadron 2 "Boelcke" at: http://www.jastaboelcke.de ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 23:32:21 +0200 From: "Gaston Graf" To: Subject: RE: Rumpler C.IV Message-ID: Lyle, > Excellent shots.

After the photograph is completely clean I resample the regular 10x15cm (4.4"x6.6") photographs to about 15% of their original size. After resampling I apply a sharpness filter and if necessary a light filter. That's all! Sometimes it takes some time to clean a picture but the result is worth the effort.

The dihederal looks >correct by the Datafile plans; i.e. there is a pronounced dihederal. Have >you seen the one at the Norwegian Air Force Museum in Gardermoen, pictured >in the Datafile? The Royal Norwegian AF Museum is located in Bodø, but the BE2e is conveniently located in Forsvarets Flysamling at Gardermoen, some 40km away from me. Have taken a lot of pictures, but none that realy show the dihedral. The dihederal is clearly visible on old photos and the restored aircraft, but it is difficult to get a front view due to the layout of the exhibit. Some of my BE2e photos were scanned and placed on the ww1 homepage. Think the Tom-M kits dihederal is a little bit to pronounced, but not by much. The Czechmaster top wing it will need hot water and/or scoring/bending. If someone fly to Norways main airport at Gardermoen, the museum is a few km away, open every day except for Monday 11.00 to 16.00, phone (047)63928660.

I wholeheartedly endorse Master Profiler Bob comments on IM about AGAMA paints. I tried them once on an ot project and they did work just fine. And if I remember correctly they were priced at 1 USD per bottle. I got mine from SilverIvanBird.

Polly Scale and Aeromaster, definitely, since they're the same brand. :-) Otherwise I'm not sure. > Can I spray glosscote or dullcote over them when dry? Yup.

That tax on e-mails hoax has been around for a couple of years - it started as a supposed Canadian bill, and since Canadians are used to being taxed on everything, it spread like wildfire. Now somebody has Americanized it and started all over again. I can see that the delete key will get exercised a bit in the next while! I can only add to the stress others have placed regarding spam messages and that nobody hit the reply function!!!!
