Thank you all. <<>> All the shading/highlighting of the underlying framing was accomplished using pastel pencils, a far too easy way of accomplishing this subtle feature of WWI aircraft. A pastel pencil is just like a coloring pencil except the "lead" is artists pastel. Just draw on your framing and then blend in with an artists blending stump (compressed paper pencil). I use several shades for subtlety, most of which don't show up on pics (but are seen quite nicely in person) but you don't have to go to all this trouble, one shade will do. All this stuff is available at most art supply stores. I used to use Mr. Surfacer and paint to replicate this feature but being a lazy type, this way is 10 times faster, requires no masking (or talent!), and is way too easy!

I will make a few drawings - the hard way, with ink and paper, since I don't have any graphics software - of fishplates, logos, rocker arms, and whatever else comes to mind. We should all produce drawings to a common scale, which I would propose to be 1/12 for the appropriate reductions to reach the needed scales for the parts.

How wide were rib tapes on OT a/c? I am trying to determine if 1/64" Chartpak tape would suffice for rib tapes in 1/72 scale. I assuming a rib tape of approx. 1" width on the real thing, would scale out to 1/72nd of an inch in 1/72 and 1/64 is close enough for Dicta Ira. I seem to remember reading that the width of rib tapes was up to 3" on the real thing???? Any help is appreciated!!!

Lower wing & ailerons are resin. Upper wing & fuselage are the only vac parts." These are being gradually re-engineered from vac to resin, I assume as Mike finds the time. In replacing some pieces missing from the original kit, Lone Star provided me with resin, whereas the originals had been vac. So where is the Sablatnig?

Looks like old style Eduard styrene, bit of flash and some odd ejector bumps, PE fret and resin bits and pieces. Comes with markigns for a post war EV in Polish markings (tempting) or Theo Osterkampfs yellow/black striped bird (more tempting) A question to the maestros of the list, bearing in mind building German is relatively new for me. Is the colour scheme correct?? White rudder, yellow and black banded fuse, and underside blue/turquoise both underneath and over the entire upper and lower wing? Wot, no loz? If it was indeed loz-less, that might just bump this one up on the building schedule. I admit it I'm a coward. . .haven't screwed the courage to the sticking plate enough to attemp a big loz project yet. Nice looking kit though the resin guns might be better replaced with PE or white metal and the resin cockpit tub will likely need some nifty brushwork to make it look right. Any suggestions on building, painting this kit would be appreciated.

I've heard mixed reports about it but I'd like to know more from someone who's actually looked at it closely. I'd like to know how well the corrugations have come out on the wings. I have a couple of Lone Star kits already. The Lohner flying boat and the Hansa Brandenburg CC and whilst being a little crude in places are quite acceptable. Lone Star stuff can take a bit of finding in the U.K and that is how I came to miss out on the Junkers. Anyone out there with a spare J.1 kit? I would be willing to trade.

Not hardly. This mob is far to free spirited to be told to do anything so structured. In my case the pledge is really meant to keep my sorry backside travelling along the one path long enough to finish the model, and I suspect I'm not the only one who pledges a model mostly to spur themselves onwards Cam will no doubt correct me if I'm wrong, but I suspect that any content, offered at any point in the life of the cookup would be welcomed. (maybe after the completion too so long as Cookup Mk.3 isn't impacted ?)

Width on the 1/48th is 1and 1/16 inches (2.7cm). The rib tape are on one sheet. You get 19 light blue and dark salmon tapes which are about 7 and 3/16 inches (18.2 cm) long. Each tape is about 1 mm wide. After looking at these for awhile, the salmon color has grown on me, and the blue seems too light. Maybe I've just gotten used to the dark blue ones that I have seen!

Sounds like you picked up the tapes as well.  In what scale, and if
1/72nd, what's the width of the tape?
