'cos there were only "so many" engines of any type available - and the authorities wanted to have lots of Camels. > Any correlation btw serial number and the type of engine installed? Not easily. If you look through Air Britain's "Camel File" you'll get the idea - but there was often a right mish-mash of different engines even within the same production batch. Plus some aircraft had their engine type changed part-way through their career. I was looking through the career of C1367 which was LeR, repaired from a minor prang with a Clerget, and then rebuilt after a under a different serial number with a LeR again! > How does one tell the difference between a Clerget powered Camel & a Bentley > Powered Camel? The Bentley had a flared cowl, wider at the front than the Clerget equivalent to cope with the larger diameter engine. > How many LeRhone Camels were produced? Who got them? Quite a few - I don't have precise figures to hand. Not as many as Clerget, but far more than Bentley. They went primarily to Home Defence (the Le R was quicker in the climb) and to certain Western Front fighter units - 3, 46, 54, 73 & 80. > How many Gnome Monosoupape Camels? Who got these? Very few in British service - all 100hp with training units. The US had some - I think it was 41 USAS who were about to go operational with 150hp Monos as the war ended. All Boulton & Paul built. > Was the 185 hp Clerget 9H ever used in production Camels? No. > Did any French units fly Camels? The French had a prototype and allegedly an early one off Ruston's first contract run - nothing for service though.

In the course of very competent discussion I was convinced by fellow group members that the badge had been intended by Jacobs to be a devil, and the descritption "god of the northern wind" was given later by his religious wife.

Later Nieuports may have been painted in PC10 .. but those seen in 1916 were in French OD. I had previously thought they were French two-tone, while Alex Revell voted for PC10. However Les Rogers directed us to the articles on No.60 Sqn RFC in C&C(GB) which explained about the early colours. Bob > David Fleming wrote: > > RFC Nieuports can be silver, PC-10 or 5 colour.

At some point I will break it up, I just wasn't in the mood to do so. ;-) With that being said, the Model Gallery page is just that - Models Only. Woo hoo!! Once I start breaking up the specific peoples' pages in the Various section, I will be extremely pleased. Right now I'm just a little happy. :-) As I said yesterday, I truly doubt we'll do this to the model gallery page. It would take too much time and effort. So, for those not paying attention :-) when you're researching a specific vehicle (ground or air) be sure to check the "World War I Photo Archive" for that vehicle. You no longer will look in the "World War I Model Galleries", unless looking for a model that fits that vehicle type.

The kit is typical of Toko kits (recently re-released by Roden). It has crisp plastic, small amounts of flash and is adequately molded except for the fabric weave. The latter virtually disappears with a a couple of coats of paint but is annoying nonetheless. I used left over "Swan 3" decals from the Flashback single seater rather than the winged serpent thing. The Flashback roundels also look better and they are really nice and thin (are they Propagteam or something?). I also used the photoetch left over from the Flashback kit for the aluminum panels on the fuselage sides behind the cockpit. During the fuselage sanding phase, I lost a fair amount of stringer detail, which I replaced using decal strips. The kit has control horns in place, all of which I removed. The ones on the wings' surfaces had to be removed in order to put on the roundels. The ones on the horizontal tail are incorrectly located; they should be further in towards the centre. I am fairly certain that the top wing was put on correctly but the cabane "W" struts were much to long. Keep the middle upside down "V" of the "W"; trim it and trim the other bits. Then you can use the cabanes in the box. Unlike the Flashback kit, there is no clear semi-circle gunsight and maybe one day I will add one. In general this is a worthwhile kit with minor flaws; a quick easy build for a biplane.

Message-ID: I got the wing-roundels on to my Nieuport 28, I corrected the Microscale decals by cutting out the white centres, so as to make them bigger. The next problem is (I think) that the blue rings are too bright and a little dark. Does anyone have any good suggestions for toning them down. I was thinking of varnish mixed with white paint, but I'm afraid it will also get onto the red rings, and end up uneven, if I use a brush.

Not my scale - Glen can help better - but there are a few images on the site. Plus one of these days Glen's book will come out. And so will Grosz' on the Pfalz, too. ;-) I believe there is a photoetch set for the tank, plus some aftermarket tracks. However, like I said, it's not my scale so I don't pay a lot of attention to what's out there. Good luck!
