The Windsock Datafile has a great photo of Theo seated on the wheel of the machine, but it is green winged and lozenged. Anyone have a lead on the photo??

So decided I would strip the wing to try and keep this baby going (the rest of the kit is going ok). I have never tried stripping plastic kits before, so I turned to the archive for help. Found a great link to a comprehensive article on various alternatives (Easy Off, brake fluid, strip-a-kit etc). This mentioned Castrol degreaser as the miracle stripper - cheap, highly effective and biodegradable. I could not find this brand at my UK automotive store, but found a great alternative - Halfords Intensive Engine Degreaser & Cleaner. This works great, although it took about 2 days soaking to loosen all the paint (that MisterKit CDL wouldn't shift!), but eventually with a little bit of brushing everything came up perfectly clean and intact. So for UK listees, give this a try - relatively cheap, easily obtained, not very noxious. And it just shows what a great resource the list is!

I've found Mr Muscle to be the best for enamels (Spray on, leave for 45 mins then wash off, using a toothbrush for corners etc), but you need to wear gloves.

It appears that Mike west is planning on reissuing it, and was able to put one together using leftover parts for me. The upper wing is vacuformed and the corrugations look good, a few dimples, but I think a coat of primer will make it look ok. The lower wing is resin, and my copy had about 100 air bubbles. it will be difficult to fill on the corrugated areas, but most of the air bubbles are in the smooth leading edge. I'll try filling with spot putty & sanding to match the existing corrugations. I'll let you know how it turns out. The kit includes 2 sheets of photoetched parts & a bunch of metal parts. I think it's worth the money if you can get one. Dave Calhoun ----- Original Message ----- From: "aa8."

It has resin ailerons for both wings. I don't think I'd like the upper wing in resin. Even a hollow two piece resin wing would weigh a very short ton. The p.e. sheet is in one piece in my kit. Did yours include decals including Aeromaster lozenge? Mine also has an excellent photo of the cockpit in it and enough instructions to make a small book. Lots of wht. metal including the engine. I think LSM has a photo of a built-up model on their web site. Todd --- David Calhoun wrote: > Hi Andy, > I had been looking for the Junkers J.1 kit for about > a year.
