There is 1 sheet of insignia & Junk.J.1 numbers in black & white, no lozenge. There are about 4-5 sheets of photocopied pages for instructions. The resin lower wing looks like the new part, but mine has a lit of air bubbles. I just gave it a coat of blue magic spot putty on the smooth leading edges, hopefully this will work ok.

Plus I think Classic Warship also will have a set coming out as well. The main problem is that depending on what you want to do - you may need to buy both the WEM & GMM sets as well. As for WEM PE, I've used it & can highly recommend them.

There are comprehensive instructions for use of the stuff which needs folding up, or replaces kit parts like davits, BUT...... It also proveds a mass of generic hatches, ladders, doors (incl. armoured) and railing which you are intended to use to fill in the undetailed gaps using your references. Hey - I'm a *airplane* guy! And with the datafiles we have it comparatively good. Reference photos showing a WW1 battleship clearly enough to decide where doors should be added, or where the railings are 2 or 3 barred or chain are rare to say the least I don't blame WEM. They've basically provided plenty of material of all sorts in the hope that you'll have enough to do it the way you believe is right, a sort of manufacturers Dicta Ira Shane ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

Well, I don't really want to blast it - I mean, it took big cojones to attempt that scheme. And from about 20 feet away, it is absolutely stunning. :-D However, as far as some orange-peel to the surface goes, as well as some other minor bits (Decals, IIRC) are concerned, yes there is something left to be desired. Like I said, the solution is to thin the paint a bit more and apply it in light coats. It takes practice. I seem to remember that you are the same SoB who won a Nats award with a spray can. As to the validity or helpfulness of my tips, which 'ruin your models', I have no sympathy. You have known me for years and by now you should realize that taking any of my suggestions seriously is about as wise as opening a Christmas present from Ted Kosczinsky.

Looking at the plans in the A-B File - the Martinsyde S1 appears to have very similar wings to the original pointy-winged SE5 - same span outer panels, same shape, very slightly narrower chord - ailerons are a rib width shorter though. Hmmm.

I don't have the time to look them all up but suggest you search the Internet for a possible link to the Royal Naval Dockyards. I rememeber about 10 years ago writing to them. My software manager had been really helpful and I wanted to thank him for going the extra mile. He had been serving with the RN on board HMS Endurance on Antartic survey before the Falklands War and I contacted RND who sold me a complete set of plans for Endurance. They had a list of an incredible number of plans for sale, for all sorts of vessels of all nationalities. Worth a try. For the planes you could try the Putnam Shorts book, the ARDHAN book on Avions Maritime et Hydroavions Francais HTH Sandy ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2001 13:08:53 -0000 From: "aa8." To: Subject: Re: LSM Sopwiths was: Lone Star Macchi M-5 quick review Message-ID: <001b01c07718$c3995420$68153c3e@tinypc> Witold I have stored away the following Lone Star kits Snipe Fe8 Pfalz E.1 Vickers FB12 Hansa Brandenburg CC Lohner flying boat Bristol M1c I also have the Fokker E.IV and the Morane type N on the workbench. The E.IV is ok but a little basic and I am cross kitting it with an Eduard E.III--Basically LSM Wings on an adapted Eduard fuselage with bits from Aeroclub like guns Engine etc. This is Hybrid modelling taken to the Nth degree. It is a bit of a long term project but I'm satisfied so far. The Morane again is a bit crude but cuts out quite nicely and is coming together. As the for the others. The Snipe is a rip off of the old Pamela Veal kit. I don't personally own a PV kit but a friend does and we've compared the two. The FE8 and Vickers FB12 both being pushers are very basic but accurate in outline. It's left to the modeller to decide how to make the tail booms. I would suggest soldered copper rod. The Pfalz E.1 is again basic but ok in outline. I think it's safe to say the Bristol M1c was poor, but hey, the Spin models resin Bristol makes it obsolete and Blue Max are already listing one as well. The Lohner is my favourite. Resin fuselage loads of etch brass and really not a bad kit. The Hansa Brandenburg CC is also not bad. I would like to say that I'm quite a fan of Lone Star kits. They are not up to the standards of Copper State or Sierra but the guy isn't afraid to take on unusual subjects and for me that counts for a lot. As far as WW1 aircraft are concerned I find Vac-forms as good a method as any for building as you can scrape the trailing edges down really thin. I often find short run injection kits just as labour intensive as vacforms because of heavy mouldings. There are several more Lone star kits I want including the DH5, The Sablatnig, The Curtiss N9N, The Hansa Brandenburg W20 and the previously mentioned Junkers J.1 Aeroclub in Britain stock them when they can get them. Did any one out there ever buy LSM's Felixstowe flying boat in 1/48th? kind Regards Andy Jones ----- Original Message ----- From: Witold Kozakiewicz To: Multiple recipients of list Sent: Friday, January 05, 2001 8:23 AM Subject: LSM Sopwiths was: Lone Star Macchi M-5 quick review > Lance Krieg napisa³(a): > > > Go direct to the website, and order from there... it may take a while, but it'll show up eventually: > > > > www.lonestarmodels.com > > > Hi, > I checked their catalogu and there are two Sopwiths 1/48 Baby and Snipe. > There are also some interesting birds like Fe-8, DH-5, Pfalz E.I and > Fokker E.IV.
