However more importantly, Eduard have released one subject - say the Alb DVa - they then released several other DV/Va models principally to lower the cost of content - ie taking out the metal engine etc. Then they released The DIII, Dr1, DIII OAW, soon a DII and possibly an OEF. Same sort of thing with Nieuports. They will presumably do exactly the same with forthcoming British releases. The Camel will be an F1, followed hopefully by a 2F1, an NF, a 2-seater, the Taper-wing, Swallow, Scooter? Similarly an SE5a Hisso, could be followed by a Wolseley 5a, an SE5 with and without glasshouse and pointy wings, and an SE5b. After all they did three Tripehounds - single gun, two gun and skis.

I don't have references to hand so this is just from memory. Aviatik was orginially a German Compsny. It formed an Austrian subsidiary, who English name was Austrian Aviatik. The Austrian firm employed Julius Berg as a designer - hence Aviatik (Berg) I have a PC database (MS Access) with about 200mg of info in it. Would anyone like a copy on CD for a small handling charge? It is based on the Hikoki book of a few years ago.

I've been doing it since I was 15, there were no computers in those days, and I've never bothered converting it because A.) I sit in front of a computer all day, and B.) I can write up my references while watching TV. It has worked very well except for a small problem that I caused myself by poor planning when I began. Nowadays I use a loose-leaf binder, but then I used a notebook so of course I ran out of space. I am gradually converting my notebook to my "modern" loose-leaf system, yesterday evening I got to Aviatik, and what a mess it is. I originally wrote it up on my Austro-hungarian page, but then unfortunately kept writing up german Aviatiks on the same page. My question is was Aviatik and Aviatik(Berg) related in any way? Was it the same mother company, or two completely different companies?

Swap the Silver dope for PC10 and > it is pretty much the same. Actually, not true. The French showed more color because they were allowed to. Take Guynemer's mounts for example. He usually had red/blue stripes over parts of his aircraft. In addition, markings of any kind look better across the aluminim dope instead of PC10. Plus nothing spoils the looks of the Nieuports more than British roundels on the sides.

I agree, not impossible just tedious. I have three five-color jobs finished so far (although one of them is an unusual five-color) with another on the way. If I have a drawing of what the five color breaks outs are then I'll photocopy it to 1/72nd and use that as a basis for tape masks I cut out of wide masking tape. If not then I draw what the demarcations appear to be on a photocopy of 1/72nd plans and then use those as masking tape "masks". Heck, I have another five color coming up... :-) Matt Bittner ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 11:39:05 -0000 From: "Sandy Adam" To: "AAA - WW1 Group" Subject: Cheap Blue Max kits/ Aeroclub BE2e Message-ID: <002f01c05ac2$3c7f39e0$32e8b094@sandyada> If you fancy a BM Snipe or Dolphin (or Alb OEF), Hannants have them in their sale at the moment at 14.99GBP each. I sent off on the first day for another one of each Sopwith and thought they might only have a single of each but the chap on the phone assured me they had a great pile of them. Anyway, they have just arrived and yes, brand new kits (Dolphin is latest release) at something like cost price. If anyone is interested, sale codes are ZBM112 & ZBM113. Sales postage is fixed so probably best if you want to combine with anything else you want. Go to webpage and ask them for sale lists and rules. Re the postage, I ordered an Aeroclub BE2e at the same time and I have this in front of me now. In light grey plastic, looks softer and more delicate than usual Aeroclub. Nice stringer, rib and interior detail. Looks like will make up into a very convincing BE. Lots of metal parts - struts look much better than usual. Lovely engine with separate cylinder heads. Includes a lewis gun and a camera. One set of markings and excellent GA plans on fold out sheet. (large aeroplane). No exploded view of construction but I'm sure none of us would need that. Marks out of ten (at first glance, pre taking parts of trees) - 9/10. Great value at 24.50GBP - can't wait to start this one too.

Congrats to David S on beautiful little Fokker EIV etc - could almost taste the castor oil! Re German innovation. Worth remembering that the Allied blockade forced much of this as German industry could not get traditional materials. If you can get limitless supplies of first class wood cheaply to make light strong airframes and have a large skilled workforce to make and mend them, why change? The only reason would be if the products were inferior in the field, which was demonstrably not the case. The Hurricane example shows how much more development was still to be wrought from the traditional methods. Built this year (all 1/48): Sopwith Camel (Ruston 1000 - oh well!)

Beautiful little kit. It was a numbered limited run. The two I happened to build were numbers 2 and 3. I just acquired one and that will be the basis for a MoS Type H. Unfortunately my kit is riddled with air holes. Bummer too because some of them are in the nicely done rib tapes. Now to find French MoS Type H schemes - not too many of them, but the H in French service in photos are very allusive.

That long of a resin with only the center struts as support you're just asking for warping problems. The other kits are inaccurate, including - I think - the kits of the Pfalz A.I.
