Most of them were due to the different linen materials and the composition of dopes, as well as different ways of appliying protective coats. IIRC, the british had a lighter shade, the french CDL looked quite yellow and the german product for protecting the linen gave a greyish tint. That's for making our hobby easier...

But what better way to publicise their kits than to use the free publicity from this site. Pics of well built Eduard WWI kits will only enhance their opportunity to sell more of those and create interest in their other products. As I said in my email to them, I would be very happy to provide any of my pics foc to help them, as I am a huge fan of theirs. Also, think about the money they invest in doing those lozenge decals. There's several people on this list that might help them get an even better product and I'm sure they would be happy to do this for free if it helped WWI kit production - right gang? I'm not knocking them - after all, I love them! Just wanted to let you all know I had made the suggestion.

Try guitar strings (as recommended by Ernest Thomas). Get plain top "E" strings at .008 gauge, it may be possible to get .006 at some places (top "E" for a 12 string). Straighten them by attaching a weight to one end (with the other end attached to something solid). I run mine thru a candle flame before using them to anneal them (I think?) and give them a darker appearance. They work well, and are available at most music stores. And if, like me, you used to be a guitarist but don't play much any more (too old), there's probably some lying around already!

How 'bout a semi gloss? >For contests, then, one would have to seek some way to bring the >judges up >to speed beforehand. Wouldn't know - never done a contest. First, I made an error of exposition on the list regarding my own choice of mixing silbergrau - it should be 75% aluminium to 25% medium grey - these are acrylic paints. Second, glossiness. I think Shane is correct about some judges' preconceptions, however, we know from photos that the degree of gloss varied a lot, depending on type, newness etc. I also think that 1/72nd scale's optimal glossiness is less than that for 1/48th scale models. Of course, a lot of judges I've met know plenty about WW1 - more than I do anyway - and are quite capable of considering a shinier look. I think it's best to assume the judges are knowledgable and do what you think best replicates the aeroplane. Do what you like to see best. It's only going to be at the contest for a day but it'll sit on your shelf for a fair old while.

I think that between them, Messrs Bobrow and Woodman probably know most of what is worth knowing about the Ilya Mourametz. Sir Harry has made this area a significant part of his life's research and Carl Bobrow also has earned research fellowships (paid research grants) to study early Russian bombers. So the answer is paint it anything from cream, aged white, French beige, cat whisker yellow, sail to whatever seems nice, since if these two cannot find consensus on the issue, it's unlikely that defintive evidence exists.

Most of the existing vehicles in North America are actually M1917's. I have a list of the locations of all FT-17's and M1917's in North America. I also have an international list, but I have no idea where that list is at right now. There are several differences, but the easiest is to look at the exhaust system, if the exhuast is on the left (as you are sitting in the drivers seat)it's an M1917. If the exhaust is on the right it's an FT-17. There are other differences, but that is the easiest for a non-tank type person to identify. I also read the MMiR article on the FT-17 last night, prety neat. Soon, the 1-72 Emhar A7V will be here. Matt, should I start working on my Modakit vacform to hurry it along?

Who would have known? I have some pics of the M1917 at the Virginia Museum of Military Vehicles. It is a private museum somewhat near Dulles International Airport in Virginia. They would like to restore the M1917 to running condition, but they need a BUDA 4 cylinder marine engine, esp the upper parts (head, etc). So if any of you frequent boatyards with older hulks, nose around. The M1917 shown in MMiR is no longer at the railroad station in Nitro, West Virginia. The VMMV guy said someone bought it before he could. I'd like to see this list of M1917/FT-17s, that would be interesting. And when is the Emhar A7V due? I missed that news! Cheers!

It is one of the first 2 Omega kits (actually numbered MSP 7201; However, the other kit maybe also qualifying for that honour, the LWF 5 has the no PL 01 - so which one came first?). I can not comment on the accuracy, as the parts are still in the original bag. However, the wings look very nice with VERY delicate wing ribs (the lower ones similar to those of the Roden Pfalz you just described a day or so ago). One piece fuselage (with separate decking around the cockpit to enable detailing that one. That fuselage obviously calls for a well planned undercarriage construction to bear the weight. My kit came with skis, no wheels (I guess thatīs standard. The small parts (everything included, down to the control wheel)look very nice in my kit, with the exception of the incompletely molded rotary engine. My kit came in a nice box, which also included adequate (but in my case only Czech - donīt know wether that was later changed) instructions (but no decals). Looking on the parts, it seems to me to be a better effort than that LWF; however, as said above, Iīve not checked the accuracy.

As far as mechanical properties are concerned, you will find no noticeable difference between 304 or 304V. Go with the cheaper one.

Does anyone know of replacement treads for the ones in the kit? They are beyond awful in terms of breakage.

Len, Congrats, not long to wait..........but Are you sure this is the best way? Admittedly they can be stored between the pages of a book or flat in a drawer. On the other hand you can bounce the (more expensive) 3d version on your knee.

They sell it in packets of 3 (or 4) different sizes, from .004 to .0075?. I think it was $5.95 a package. Expensive but it works. I haven't had the patience to unwind guitar strings yet.
