I'm with you on the Se5a - I've noticed that it had a rep as an ugly plane - I don't see it I like that boxy look up front, don't know how to describe it - makes nice shapes/balance/composition It seems that in reality it usualy had a rather unkempt look, like they had trouble keeping the fabrick tight and the MG instalation looks like an afterthought, but all-in-all a nice looking plane I must disagree about the Albatros - unbalanced? blooppy? fat?

Foxworth But I would like to beg to take a novel too, which would be Winged Victory and that brings me onto this thread. I read that book as gospel because the author was a WW1 ace, one of the things he mentions is IIRC painting his cowling yellow(no it wasn't Voss!), and I got the impression that this wasn't unusual in the RFC. Also if you look at Browns camel with the checkered tail( again IIRC) , thats an ordinary squadron a/c, and still colourful. Maybe they were allowed to paint there planes, if they survived long enough. Finally, RFC Nieuports do look nice!

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.

Anyone read the book "In the Company of Eagles" by Ernest K. Gann? At my mother-in-law's for the holidays, not much to do, looked at her book shelf and lo and behold a WWI adventure novel with a lurid picture on the cover. Actually a pretty good read so far. Anyone want to read it after me I'd be happy to pass it on.

I didn't say it wasn't buildable, just that you'll use plenty of sandpaper to get there. And yes, it is accurate, just thick. :-P`` Matt Bittner ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 15:59:33 -0300 From: "dfernet0" To: Subject: RE: QUIET ON THE LIST Message-ID: <026901c05aff$ad2de3c0$4640a8c0@ssp.salud.rosario.gov.ar> Hey Mack! I'm reading it just on these days! Certainly it's a neat book, altough the historical background is a bit simplified. Anyway you'll have a great time reading this. D.
