Just to let Y'all know...

    The Allied companion to the German/Austrian Aviation of WWI book from
Osprey is out.  I think I bought one today, but I can't find the damned

I think they mean for the modeller to make the cut
theirself.  The instructions are just an exploded view
of the kit.

Ernest,

I ordered three of them.  I'll sell you one of those
when I get them if you want.  That price is excellent!
1/3 of the shipping ($3.00) plus 14.70 for the kit.  I
get a 2% discount from him.  So $17.70.  I won't
actually send off for them until after Christmas.  It
takes about a one month round trip to me.  I also have
three of the PV7's.

Don't know about Jung, but Sagan wrote that it could have been any one of
billions and billions of possible colors. But being a skeptic he reserves
judgment until ALL the evidence is in. Though he painted it green on his big
Revell kit.

Not Sagan- he got caught too many times fudging evidence....and he probably 
had billions and billions of faked color samples stashed away in his cave.

Dear Jon,

Yes, it is the latest issue: Vol. 16, n.6, Nov./Dec. 2000.
It contains the first installment of Harry Woodman's article on the Voisins,
aimed at modellers. Enjoy it !

I remember selling that Pheonix kit to Mårten, I thought the rib
representation was wrong, but I think it was me that was wrong.
I hardly knew Mårten at that time, I never thought he was mad enough
to actually build that thing, but he made a lovely job of it.

I don't think it would work to well Brian, it would be better I think to get

the wing blanks from Barry and scratch the rest as it seems pretty basic
from 
the drawing I have in the Harleyford book. The nacelles being the toughest

he built on the WWl Gallery. I must tell you though, I have been actively 
looking for one the better part of a year and have not located one yet.

Neil:

Can you elaborate on the wing representation.  My Formaplane kit of the G-4 
has the upper wing surfaces indented where the ribs go.

My memory is hopeless, but FWIW, the pheonix kit had a step down on the
top surface of the wing. As if the covering was on the whole underside of
the wing
folded round the leading edge, and then only half the topside of the wing. 
So that there was a pronounced ridge the whole span of the wing. I felt
it should be the other way aound, but I have a feeling I was wrong and the
kit
is correct, I think I saw somewhere, that it really is like that.Apart from
that
 it was a good vacuformed kit, and seeing that I am probably wrong anyway,
even better!

I believe released later by Blue Rider, with white metal and decals.  I

 repost several times and then might only get a single reply. Two days ago I 
 asked about DR.1 camo colors and didn't get a single response. >>

Presumably a lot of us are a little busy at this time, I am sure you weren't 
being ignored.   

Well anyway, not being an expert myself and also a firm believer in "dicta 
Ira" I will say I painted my DrI with the following:  

Testor Modelmaster Radome Tan  for the linen base coat
Pollyscale Olive Drab Acrylic for the streaky camo, unstirred, brushed on
Floquil German lt blue 78 for the Turquoise undersides

I say it looks okay to me, looks like just like all the real 1917  DrI's I 
have seen.  ;)

That's Finnish. Though there's a slight typo; it should be Hyvää, with
'v'. ;-)

My guess is Gaelic.

Thanks for thinking of me, but my taste in WW1 ships runs to surface vessels
only - especially the big suckers.

You do that mate, then if the according to Sod's law, someone will come out
with a lovely kit in 1:350.
Maybe ICM could be persuaded.

bright yellow and blue Spurs Shirt just to freak out the natives.

This is a monster kit. Just as well the paper covering isn't including
because it's 'orrible.
The rest of it (the screws that hold it all together notwithstanding) can
be made to look rather lovely.
Beware of the weird metal (but not white metal) struts. Mine were all
warped and snapped as soon as you breathed on them. Be prepared to carve
your own out of bamboo or (as I did) model ship ways ship spars.

Certainly a nice addition to those who like their models on the big side.

Next up is supposed to be HMS Hood, and Shane the Youngers list is redolent
with inside information on the progress of the kit. I account Hood as OT on
account of her being laid down just after Jutland, but I assume that the kit
will be in an as sunk configuration rather than as commissioned in 1920. (I
much prefer the WW1 battleships because they *look* like floating blocks of
steel, massive and potent, while later ships esp. US ones are too much like
cruisers on steroids)

Just came back from some late night shopping myself. Two slabs of beer,
plenty bottles of wine and the makings for barbeque tomorrow evening. Plenty
big party at my home with some model club folks and my favourite plastic
pusher to assist in keeping the neighbours awake.

HEY!!!  SHANE !!! LORNA !!!! Party tiiime !  (Wear shorts and not much else,
it's hot :-)
