You may be right.  It may be listed as a Ni. 12.  They are pretty close.

1/48th is not proper.  It's nothing but Balloon...

One-seventy-second.  The only scale that matters.  The rest is fluff.

Dear Courtney,

I am certainly interested in the 1/72nd scale kit, as I do not like larger
scale modelling. Just a matter of personal taste, of course.

Thanks for your offer of assistance, which is really appreciated.

May I know the price first ?

All the very best,

Alberto.

P.S.: I am searching for a kit in mint conditions, if possible.

Dave great report, however, I have a very old Aurora Sopwith Tripe sitting

You need to e-mail sram for prices. He works out of his flat - this is 
definately a 'cottage' business. The kits are outstanding though.

If you do order, let him know you saw it on the site. I don't get any 
kickbacks, but it would be nice for him to know it was not a waste sending
me the samples.

It's a way to try to get the site listed at the top of search engines.  But
since so many sites were doing this, the majority of search engines no
longer catalog based purely on word presence, but look at a wide variety of
things on the page.

I think 1/24 was done by Monogram and 1/25 was done by AMT, MPC and Revell
for their car models.  Now that Monogram combined with Revell, some using
old molds are still in 1/24 and all new stuff is 1/25.  Too confusing for
me, but I have used 1/25 scale El Camino rally wheels on a 1/24 Monte Carlo
SS and the wheel diameters are identical.  If you can't notice the
difference, no one else will either!

Big question, I have noticed that Airfix made many kits of WW-l aircraft, are 
any of them really nice kits or are they to be avoided as just to much 
trouble to correct? I ask this because I saw a bunch of them at a vendors 
table in NJ earlier this month and was thinking that maybe I should check 
them out.

As I understand matters:

Sopwith Pup - good.  You have to fix the strut "helper" things that go 
across the underside of the top wing.  Just use filler and snip the "helper" 
thing off.

DH-4 - quite good.  Same strut issue as the Pup.

Bristol F.2B - Inaccurate and a bit clunky but I havee strong personal 
attachments to this kit.  Starving cow wing ribs.

Spad VII - some inaccuracies in the fuselage but the wing surfaces are 
"corrugated" in an effort to reproduce the large numbers of ribs.

Sopwith Camel - not sure about that one.

Cannot recall the others.  There must have been a Fokker Dr.1 though. Is 
there any large scale manufacturer that hasn't made one?

Looking forward to others' comments on these kits.  Good question John.

Isn't there a Datafile?  I can check.

I'm sure you know this, Bob, but Tom's Modelworks had a 1/48 N.9/10 in resin, and I believe there was a vac, too.  If you were thinking about production...

I think I forgot a few other Airfix kits.

Fokker Dr.1, Hannover C.LIIIa, Roland C.II, Sopwith Camel 2.F1.  I think 
both the Roland and Hannover are decent.  Then there's the Handley-Page 
0/400 which I've not been able to get my dirty little paws on.

A couple of other "small" items to fix as well, including the "Sopwith
Sweep" in front of the horizontal tail on the turtledeck; the kingpost
in the rear; and a couple of other items that escape the memory.

Avoid the Dr.I at all costs.  If you must have an older kit, buy the
Revell.  However, depending on the amount you want to spend, buy either
the Hawkeye, Eduard or Roden, recommended in that order.

I have built over a dozen Sierra vacs and consider them to be very good kits.

The Expert on German planes is Peter Grosz - who never comments on

I'm not sure Barry is interested in 1/48, but the LUSAC is something on my 
short-list.

Hi Courtney,

Forgive my intrusion, but for some time I have been looking for a Nieuport
10/12 kit in 1/48 scale...tried to locate a Tom's kit but no luck. I would
appreciate very much if you could let me know how much a Merlin balloon
scale kit is.

TIA,
Dale S.

Robert, I have DF #68, the Nieuport 10/12, & have been thinking of
scratching it if I cannot find a good kit. Please help us out w/ a
kit!...1/48 for me, & 1/72 for Matt & Alberto.

I have no way of knowing how accurate these drawings are, but I'm sure the
list members will have some input on this.

Best wishes,
Dale S.

Then there's the Handley-Page 0/400 which I've not been able to get my dirty
little paws on.



Michael,

How badly do you want to get your paws on one?

Forgot about the Datafile...I used to have an Italian book that had 
drawings, profiles and lots of photos of Italian Nieuports. Lots of wild 
cartoons on the fuselage, etc.
