Yeates , which was written as a novel by a real pilot with about 5 victories over a long period. It's easily the best book about WW1 I've read. There is for instance the time, they didn't plan to fly and all got pissed, then plans changed and he found himself trying to fly his camel half drunk. It's very tragic because in real life he survived the war, as a nervous wreck, and then died of tuberculosis a few years later, after writing Winged Victory. What really comes through is how scared they were of doing ground-attack, Fokker DVII's were no problem, but they were ever so jealous of the Bristol Fighters, that had the performance (and the permission) to stay well above trouble, not at ground-level where the camels had to stay. I think this "novel" is probably closer to the truth than most of the biographies. Another really good book in the same vein, is a biography called "Bring back my Stringbag " by Lord Kilbracken which is about a Swordfish pilot in the Second world screwup. Its a very honest description of his career with numerous close calls, ditching in the atlantic, convoy work etc. till he ends up a wing-commander on Barracuda's with a completely broken self-confidence, he was so scared of flying, that he wouldn't even fly on a an airliner. A lot because of Barracuda problems, but shows very well how continuous action can break down even the bravest. /Neil ---------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 20:43:39 +0200 From: "Neil Crawford" To: Subject: Re: Rigging Techniques Message-ID: <20001017184851.BVXL8911.fep01-svc.swip.net@default> Hi, The rubber stuff that Mark describes must be the same as PP aeroparts (I think) tried to launch about 10 years ago. It failed dismally because IIRC there was a problem of disintegration when used as rigging, in combination with aging. They even recalled it I think, and I think that was the rather sad end of PP aeroparts, I may be wrong. Actually it is rather useful for simulating hoses and wiring, without streching, so I am glad I bought a packet of various thicknesses. For this it works as advertised, and my packet hasn't aged or disintegrated at all, somehow the whole thing was rather unfortunate. My bits are light grey. I should think you could probably find something similar in sewing shops, they use them for elastic parts in clothes. /Neil ---------- Subject: Message-ID: <42.c02afa1.271cdeba@aol.com> I've never tried the technique you described, but it does sound feasible. I don't know if anyone uses anything unusual for rigging, but I use something a friend in Germany gave me to try out because he was mad about the stuff. It's some type of rubbery elastic thread that sells in German fabric shops. You have to be careful not to overstretch it though because it will cause the struts to misalign or possibly break. It's a little thick for 1/72, but spot on for 1/48. It's white in colour so it has to be painted prior to installation. I've considered dyeing it Dk. grey but don't know if it will work. Does anyone else use something other than wire, thread, or sprue?

I imagine that the quality of this and other Blue Max cottage kits are quite variable, but I may have got ahold of a particularly messy edition of this kit - large expanses of thick flash leading from the wing and fuselage edges and most of the smaller parts, warped small pieces, very uneven fits, and some slightly depressed ("smooshed") areas of detail in the "corrugations" on the wings. I guess I'm in for a some long sessions of filing and sanding. One issue and request of the listmembers: since the kit is discontinued, cost me two fingers, and I like this rare aircraft, I don't want to screw it up. Any hints on how to remove or hide the fuselage and wing seams without sanding away the raised corrugations?

Not to be too pedantic, but what I wrote wasn't intended as an analogy, but as humour, and had *nothing* to do with the BM *quality*, rather the issue of what is, or isn't included in his kits (specifically, lozenge). OTOH, on my part, I have 9 BM kits in my stash, plus one built and one under way. None have ripple, none have any undue amounts of flash and all the advertised parts are in the kit and in good condition - so my experience is strangely different Shane ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

Not from where *I* sit :-( OTOH it *is* good news for people in the US. Remember too, that the prices on his web site include GST at 10%, so you actually only pay 10/11 of that and with the A$ being so soft at the moment you can almost halve *that* price to see the US$ cost.

As it fixing the corrugations, what I did was replace a section with pieces of stretched sprue. the kit is thick, lots of flash, lots of re-working, you'll have to sand out the interior of the fuselage to get anything that looks like a cockpit in there. It is *very* primitive, and you have described the "average". It is possible to make a D.I from the kit - you can see mine up at my model image pages at the WW1 site.

Out of the four: Halb. CII - both top wings have minor ripple problems on the trailing edge. Bristol Fighter - all wing panels have terrible ripples - on the top and bottom of each panel. SE5A - lower left wing has a bad ripple. Dolphin - all four wing panels have slight ripples, horizontal tail is rippled on the front edge and is poor overall. The previous two BM kits I bought (the DH2 & N28) were perfect so I guess I was under the impression that the wing problems had been resolved. Really the biggest problem I have with this ripple is that you have to sand off all of the excellent rib detail on the wings and replace it. Not too big a deal with the German subjects with loz on the wings but a pain for the others. Of the four above I am probably going to request replacements for the Bristol Fighter and the Dolphin. I will base any further purchase of BM kits based on if they honor my request and send replacements. Although their choice of subject matter is excellent I just cannot see spending this kind of cash on kits that have pretty major defects.
