What is surprising to me is the criticism Eduard has gotten from the WW1 
modeling community (and not just from here on this list, which is actually 
pretty supportive of the company), which is what has led them to take a 
second look at the cost of producting WW1 kits.  Given everyone's protective 
attitude toward companies that do not always deliver a quality product (and 
since you know which two are high on my list I won't mention them here by 
name), and Eduard's ability to deliver maximum quality since their first kits 
(and here I mean the maximum quality their production technology could 
support), this presents an interesting dichotomy in terms of outlook.

Just my observations.

Definitely worth waiting for, but I still have my Tauro A7V to finish.
Does
anyone know of replacement treads for the ones in the kit?  They are beyond
awful in terms of breakage.  TIA--
Lyle

Lyle,
I know this thing of which you speak...
Those treads are the worst!  Off center vinyl with rusty metal pins to hold
them together.  And then they end up curved, not straight, so they don't
meet!
I always ask the guys at ModelCellar, who do the nice aftermarket tracks
and bits for the Emhar rhomboid tanks, but they say no interest.  And they
are the only aftermarket tank guys who will even talk about it.
When I finish the airplanes on my plate (yes, Michael & yes, Matt)
I plan on starting back on my Tauro A7V (I think as Nixe II).  If I do
anything along the lines of casting new tracks, I'll let the list know.

Guys,

    Now I am intrigued!  I'm gonna whip out my Tauro A7V and try the treads
and see if there's a solution.  The treads look really good in the bag IMHO!

Lance,

I ordered both Sikorskis.  They are checking on the
Voisan.  I did't deal with a person.  You can order
direct from their web site with a CC.  An American
company handles the actual billing.  I will definitely
keep you posted on the Voisan.  Cross your fingers,
toes, and eyes.  Maybe we'll get lucky with the
Voisan.

Volker,

Master Club also lists the Sikorskis in 1:72, but as
"special order" items.  I don't know if they're
actually available since I don't build in THAT scale. 
For 1:48ers, a Sikorski S.XVI is going to be released
by ICM, hopefully soon.

Now that's something that needs to be encouraged!  Certainly, if you did it
in resin, it would be a lot tougher than that piss-poor vinyl.  I hope you
lots of luck-

Hi Volker,
The kit I bought has No.72013 and the description says"3 sets of decals.....".
The box cover shows the a/c with wheels as the undercarriage.  Must be a later
version of the one you describe.

You can order a catalogue on line.  It took a while for mine to come but now 
they send me an update every year without asking.

Subject: Clutching Hand - RE: DH 6 question
Message-ID: <E63B16DCCDCB4D115AA50005B80A2E33@cameron.prontomail.com>


This is from Les Sutherland's "Aces and Kings"
Book. Les Sutherland was an observer with 1 Sqn
Australian Flying Corps in Palestine and later a
pilot with the RAAF in the 20's;

"And now for the DH6. I hope it is as easy for
you to read as it is for em to write of this dear
old lady. She was the squarest old thing about
the place - literally and figuratively. Square of
wingtips, rudder, fins, tail, elevators,
ailerons. No rounded corners, and certainly no
symmetrical lines. Her fuselage, or body, was
just like a box, with the lid off. Of cockpits,
as we know of them today [1929], she had none.
Instead, a cavity which, in shape and dimensions
was like a coffin with the top removed. Hence,
the "Flying Coffin". Also the fuselage was not
unreminiscent of the conveyance used on English
farms to remove animal refuse. Hence a second
nickname - the "Dung Hunter". The DH6 had an
outsize in joysticks in the second, or pupils
seat. When these fledgelings were in the early
stages of their training, and found the movement
of the machine disconcerting, a need came upon
them to grasp something for support, and it was
usually the aforesaid joystick which came within
their grasp. And so another sobriquet - the
"Clutching Hand".

....

Gods gift to the trainee was the DH6, the
dearest, kindest, most sedate old lady in a first
solo. You could stagger "off the deck" with her,
do the flattest of turns, and then just fall back
on to the ground, and she'd still allow you to
remain in one piece. She never seemed to mind the
maltreatment and indignities; and she was
probably the most uncrushable bus of them all. If
she could have spoken, she surely would have
said, " Alas, my poor aristocratic sisters! Where
do their looks and class get them?"

But for all her forebearance, her sweet charity,
and many other virtues, Miss DH6 was always, as I
said before, either a "Clutching Hand", a "Flying
Coffin" or a "Dung Hunter". And the ingratitude
of the new graduates! After passing on to more
advanced types, the feldgelings would never go up
in the company of one of those dear ladies, not
even to joy ride:

"What take you up in an old DH6? No Sir! Let me
fly you in a real flying machine - any fool can
fly a Dung Hunter!" It wasnt altogether
ingratitude. You see, stunting was impossible in
a DH6, and, after all, the graduate pilot did so
like to throws his machine about."

Subject: Roden Fok D,VIII
Message-ID: <009d01c050f8$bf737420$66f3aec7@default>

Just got my Roden Fokker D.VIII up on it's L/G.  A few words of advice are
in order to anyone intending to build this kit.

The landing gear Vee struts are done in two pieces per side. This permits a
much more accurate representation of the original. On the 1:1, the
undercarriage "wing" is quite thick and the struts meet inside, projecting
up through the top surface. They do this a small distance apart.

Roden's choice to mold seperate, straight front and back struts for each
side allows this feature to be accurately and delicately represented in
1:72. The penalty is that it is a bit of a pain to build. "A most equitable
trade" to quote Mr.Spock.

The struts take a great deal of care to remove from the sprue and clean up.
The white plastic used in my copy is fairly hard and stronger than a similar
size piece of Evergreen rod, so I opted to use them rather than trying to
scratch something that thin.

If you use the kit pieces, they have a definite upper and lower end that
takes a hard, close look to determine. The, (and a better word fails me),
little "tit" on each end is different. The one on the lower end is longer
than the upper one.. The corresponding holes inthe L/G wing are deeper than
the ones in the fuselage. Obviously the shorter struts are the front ones.

You have to eyeball the angles, so use a minimal amount of CA to tack them
in place so they can be adjusted slightly as needed. You can firm it up
later after you have it where you want it.

I agonized all week over attaching the gear, but once I sat down to it, it
was a 5 minute job and the little critter sits firm and square on it's
delicate legs. They are squarely in the same league for scale effect as
those lovely Rosemont resin gear legs  for the MoS mastered by a certian
retentive list member with a slight preference for 1:72 scale models.

I think 304V is low in Selineium. This element is not good for
semi-conductors.  An arcane tid-bit picked up from a previous life.

Since it's all plastic, why not use tube glue?

Candace, do you recall how many Americal hexagon sheets you needed to decal
the Sierra Scale Models AEG G.IV in 1/48th?

I don't use tube glue. It melts the plastic. CA works better for me. White
glue that has set a few minutes exposed to the air might work well here. It
can be strengthened with a tiny bit of CA after it sets up.

Okay.  I'm looking in the 2001 catalog on page 130.  That page
has "MUSIC WIRE - Spring Steel, Straightened".  I bought the 36"
lengths.  I got the 0.007" diameter wire for 1/48 projects and the
0.005" diameter wire for 1/72 projects.

In addition to the website posted earlier,  The phone number is
800-220-4242.

Candice,
There's no need to unwind guitar strings. Go to any music store and ask for the
high(in pitch) E. It'a a single strand of .008 steel. Actually, it comes in
different guages, but .008 is the smallest commonly available. Nothing to
unwind. And I think they're about 36" long and sell for about a buck and a
quarter. Not a bad deal.
The best way to straighten them, aside from playing them until they can't stand
it anymore, is to grab each end with a pair of pliers, pull it tight and run it
through a flame.
Voila`! Instand riging.
Beware!, once you run it through the fire, it will be magnetized, so plastic
tweezers make rigging easier.
Hth,
E.

I dunno Charlie, how many sheets of A-G hex DOES it take to decal the SSM AEG
G.IV in 1/48?


(This was a joke, like "how many (     ) does it take to screw in a light bulb"
right?

Diving from the crate even before it starts to burn,
