Dave: I'm sure they were just taken aback at your command of diplomatic manners and pronounciation of "Voisin":)! Seriously, let's face it, the fact that they ever did a boom WW1 plane was a minor miracle in itself. I would be surprised if it was a big seller for them so they probably won't make the same error twice. Many WW1 modellers shy away from tail boom stuff. Although it is true that there aren't many in injection mold, there's some in resin, which is not too hard to deal with. I didn't know (Hasegawa) anyone did a dry transfer lozenge.

Xtravac Albatros XV and HR MoS Type L. (both in 1/Bittnernd scale) The Xtravac Albatros XV is one of the nicest 1/72 vacs I've seen. One large sheet of vac parts with extremely fine detail, a bag of very nice resin detail parts, strip of strut material and two printed sheets with Ian Stair drawings, instructions & history. The HR MoS L is a nice resin kit. Wing, fuselage halves and two wafers of parts, (including 2 rudders and 2 engines, 7 & 9 cyl), PE fret incl. wire wheels, decals and a printed sheet with drawings and b&w profiles for Guynemer (and Charles), Garos and Warneford. Fuselage seam is a little rough, but that will not pose any problems. If you want either of these planes in 1/72, then don't hesitate on either of these two kits. sp ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 16:14:41 -0600 From: "DAVID BURKE" To: Subject: Re: Eduard Perfidity Message-ID: <000b01c0693f$ecb7d2a0$91ea79a5@com> > Dave: > > I'm sure they were just taken aback at your command of diplomatic manners > and pronounciation of "Voisin":)!

Francesco Baracca's Nieuport 11. Unfortunately, I did not see the profile you refer to, so if you can send a scan of it to me off list, I will be more than happy to comment. In the meantime, I can say that according to the contemporary pictures I could trace, Ten. Baracca's mount was a standard Macchi-built Bébé (both pictures showing Baracca in front of a Ni. 11 show machines with Macchi s/n): - clear doped **bleached** linen overall (almost white in shade, Humbrol ivory is a good approximation, otherwise go for Mister Kit Italian clear doped linen - light variant) - natural metal engine cowling and "cheeks" - probably light red-brown (tan) edging tapes to fuselage and flying surfaces (but not **under** the fuselage) - overwing Lewis gun with extended grip of typical Italian fashion, on an Italian type mount (with semicircular front support) - the machine's serial number MAY be Ni. 1451. - most probably: usual green and red wide bands under both wings. - none of the pictures I know show Baracca's famous rampant horse personal marking, which may have been adopted later and painted for the first time on one of his Ni. 17s. I cannot claim that all Italian aircraft producers used the same shades of flag colours, as there were also different manufacturers. As it almost always happened in those cases, different paint sets were rarely identical in shade. The colour references I listed in the Ansaldo Balilla piece for Windsock International are based on the examination of truly original samples, so I believe it would be very wise to base your choice on them.

It was brought down relatively intact and painted to prevent accidents while being evaluated. Does this count as German use? .Mark." According to Alex Imrie (Vintage Warbirds No 8, p. 61), there were 8 (eight) SPADS "in use by the Germans at that time" (early 1918). There are stories about the use of SPADs both by Windisch and Sczhleich (both not fully proven). There was also a nicepiece on allied fighters in German use in WS 7/6 ("Under new management").

I have always been fascinated by this airplane and the pilots that had to sacrifice them- selves in them. Looks like it's going to be fun putting it together.

Message-ID: Welcome back Alberto, you or someone on the list may just be able to help me a bit. I want to start getting some information together for this Meikraft kit that I have and have ordered the Windsock datafile for it. I read in the kits instructions that Windsock International Vol.6 Number 6 has some very good pictures and information on this aircraft, 13 1/2 pages. Anyone know where I can find a copy or get a good copy of the article? I would prefer to buy the issue if possible but if that fails then a copy will do. Also what guns were carried on this aircraft? I plan on using the kit decals for Ca.3 4164 of 7a Squadriglia, Xl Gruppo, Aviano, Summer, 1917. I will happily except any information about this aircraft or kit such as colors was it CDL or Tan as the instructions mention? Also any corrections the kit needs, etc. Thanks everyone I hope you all have a very Plastic, resin Christmas. Best regards, Jon Jon V.

Message-ID: Has anyone built for the typical "IPMS club meeting out of the box builds". Some places call them "Big mouth Builds". The rules I have in front of me state the model you must build the scale and limit on price. It also says after market decals are ok along with scratchbuilt seatbelts and stretched sprue antenna's. Doesn't say anything else though. My problems are; Can I add some cockpit detail to go with the seatbelts - I'm thinking no?? Can I scribe details on the fuselage wings etc?? This seems ok to me - I mean I'm just replacing details that may have been sanded away. Can I separate movable surfaces and add wire pushrods, instead of the plastic lumps?? (As in Rudder Elevator ailerons etc.) Sorry to waste list time with ot, but I have never built anything except for my own amusement, and ahem I go to the IPMS meeting once or twice a year so I have never really taken much notice before since its normally 109 thingies or kero burners. Email me offlist if you have any opinions, I should have asked at the club but forgot, the next meeting isn't for 4 weeks so I'm a little impatient plus at my speed I need all the time I can get. btw a great product to use on older MPM or Eduard dirty plastic is the Flexifile polisher finisher #3210. Takes only a few mins to clean rough surface plastic and get it polished. I've never used the Flexi system before since I typically use nail care flexible Emory boards instead. Very inexpensive and just as good as flexi file. But this particular one is amazing, it leaves a really polished surface with very little work. Ray (btw the big mouth model is a JU 87 thingy of which I chose the A variant in 1/72 scale, now if only they'd let me enter a Junkers J1) ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 2905 **********************
