I don't have a clue, in both cases. :-( I once searched in inmigration archives my name, and just one person named "Fernetti" arrived to Buenos Aires port: from Switzerland! I always believed that our surname came from Italy. but seems that this person came from a southern part of Switzerland, via Genoa. It was in the late 1880s, so there's no chance to ask! Some cousins form another city say that there are a small town in italy named liked us, so we're quite confused. On the other hand, my mother's family came from a basque/asturian country in Spain, and we're pretty well documented on this family branch. The surprising thing is that fellow listee Fernando Lamas' ancestors came from almost the same town! This is a small world.

I'm trolling through the "other" WW1 forum, and come across this from Dan-San Abbott: "I had just recently completed a six view watercolor of Ltn. Ernst Udet's SSW D.III 8350/17 for a customer in New Mexico. I spent a considerable amount of time researching all the extant photographs of the plane. The result of my study is the aircraft was painted dull (non-gloss) red all over, both sides of the wings, cabane and interplane struts, fuselage and fins, tailplane, elevator, wheel covers, spinner,and engine hood. The lower cowl strap, the bottom cowling panel with the louvers, under carriage struts, spreader bar and axle fairing were aluminum. On both sides of the fuselage aft ot the cockpit was a large white LO!. The rudder was white. Black llatin style crosses were painted on the wings and rudder. The wing crosses were edged in white. Every photograph that I have found confirms these findings." Very interesting. All over red? So no more lozenge? Very interesting indeed. He also made this statement about other SSW's: "SSW D.III Production order D.8340 -8359/17 and possibly D.1600 -1629/18. The upper surface of the wings and elevator were covered with the Five Color Day LIGHT (under surface) Lozenge Printed linen fabric. The fabric was applied to the upper wing at 45§ to the leading edge. The ailerons, elevator and the lower wing panels, span wise. Rib tapes were 25 mm wide strips of the printed fabric. The cabane and interplane struts were wrapped with the Light printed fabric. The fuselage, upper and lower fins and stabilizer were stained a reddish- brown approximating (8E8). The cowlings and under-carriage struts were aluminum. On re-delivery of the modified SSW D.III the engine cowl was painted to match the stained fuselage." So he now thinks those SSW D.III's in that production range had their wings covered all-over in underside five color? That would be very striking - almost garish. Hmmm...

Far from being a beginner's question, I think this is a universal problem, and I must shamefully admit that I try to avoid dealing with it. (Which is why my 1/48 Eduard Hanriots are still in their boxes!) But instead of taping down the wings, as someone suggested, I prefer to hand sand these, counting the strokes on each part of the wing in an attempt to remove an equal amount, checking frequently for dips and other irregularities. It is long and tedious, and the bigger the model, the worse the problem becomes. I would sure like to hear some alternatives myself. Anyone? Lance ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 03 Jan 2001 10:47:14 -0600 From: "Lance Krieg" To: Subject: Aircraft Batteries Message-ID: I just happened to be looking into these myself, and turned up a couple of tidbits on British battery use, for what they may be worth: The standard Sterling (?IIRC) short-range wireless used three 9-volt (IIRC) batteries wired in serial, and I suppose re-charged with a magneto crank. The reference I consulted (CCI) talked about storing the batteries away from the crew compartment/engine/tank areas to lessen fire risk if they were to be struck by enemy fire, and a logical place would be the rear fuselage. Engine ignition, where turning the propeller was impractrical (like on flying boats), was assisted by battery, too. In the Curtiss/Felixstowe boats, for instance, the battery for this was under the pilot's seat in the hull of the boat. But these boats also had engine cranks, so it seems that a battery alone wasn't up to the task. I wonder if this helps? I mostly wanted to know what they looked like, myself, to model them.

I used the PD Decals set recently offered by Eric. So, what was it like? Well, the markings on Goering's plane were minimal. As in about 4 decals provided for the whole plane! 2 Fokker werknummer stencils, 1 weight table, and a datum line, or whatever. I added the Kreuzen with strips of black decal material. The PD decals went on a Future-coated surface very well, and I used a little Microscale setting solution. THEN I SCREWED UP. I used Solvaset on them. This caused the printing to sag, as well as creating areas on the Kreuzen where the decal dissolved. Rats. But since it is black and white, touchup is not that hard. AFTER decalling and all, I decided to do the cut-out on the cockpit opening and added the coaming at the forward area. I added the handhold and the flare tube and rack. I also added gobs of crap to the cockpit (well, that's what it all looks like). Right now it is in the paint room sleeping off the sealing coat of Future. A bit more touch up and it will get the final coat of semi-gloss. Overall, I like the PD Decals stuff - no real problems that were caused by them or their manufacture. All errors were directly attributable to Delbert Dumbass (a.k.a. ME). Serves me right for building those WW2 Japanese fighters....

Strange. It has the "strange" blotchy camouflage - which Brad Merville says might have been put on after the good Lieutenant's adventure with the sticky ammo drum, but which is confirmed in the photo of the airplane he sent me. This is becoming a more interesting model day by day.

They also have a ton of airbrushes and parts at what seems to be the best prices around.

Hope soon in the shops. > http://www.rodenplant.com/HTML/gothag2.htm Damn that looks good. I wonder if I should change my resolutions? Perhaps I should see if I can get one of these things in captivity and built before our big show in August. Built well it should be enough to stun any viewer, and maybe garner some more converts Shane ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).
