Message-ID: <014c01c07b9f$0a9928c0$e23c3ccc@oemcomputer> Hi Steve, Just packed the Testors SPAD 13 & Nieuport 17, and I threw in an extra sheet of Rickenbacker's markings for the SPAD from the DML kit. I do not have the original instructions that show the decal placement or 5 color camouflage for these. If anyone can scan a copy of this and e-mail it to you, you can print it out and send it along with the kits. Will go to postoffice tomorrow at lunchtime.

If not too dated they intend to use it, with resin additions as per their other kits. No commitment or time-frame, but at least they say they're interested, and Gardner also recognises that the type was very important. So it seems to rest mainly on how much damage if any the moulds accumulated over the decades (decades? Is it that time already?). Just a FWIW. Paul Thompson. PS, for those sniffing around the AJP kits again, I repeat what I said last year - not all the kits are single-skin winged. Some such as the Spad VII are double, so you can achieve the proper airofoil section. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2001 08:34:06 -0000 From: "aa8."

I liked Full Circle, but I thought Wing-Leader was better, I'm not sure I'd feel the same today. I've a feeling that "The Big Show" by Pierre Closterman eclipses them both. Certainly the Biggles books are great, though I can't understand Ray Rimells fascination, they weren't that good. I thought the first ones were the best (naturally!) , I think I remember one where Biggles flew a Camel and had problems with a Gotha gun-tunnel, does that make sense? Another OT good book is by the author of "I Claudius" Robert Graves, I can't quite remember the name, "And all that too" or something. I remember being very impressed, my Grandfather (the other one) was in the trenches, he got sent home to die (but didn't) after his trench was hit by a shell during the first german tank attack, he was the only survivor, I can't remember which battle that was, but I think it was about 1916 is that possible? He was still spitting out bits of shrapnel in the fifties. Can't remember much more because he didn't talk about it, but reading books like the Robert Graves book makes you understand a little, one wonders how they could stick it out? /Neil -----Original Message----- From: Ray Boorman [mailto:Ray_Boorman@telus.net] Sent: den 10 januari 2001 17:39 To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: RE: Kids and modeling (another POV) lol, when I was 7 or 8, I read Full Circle by Johnie Johnson. My first introduction to OT. Unfortunately for my son both his parents are Lotr's types so he had that book as his bedtime story when he was five, literally the whoile year ;). (The Hobbit was when he was younger). Now he's nine and has a bedside reading lamp and we have a rule he can fall asleep in bed if he is reading. Little guy figured out he gets to stay up later that way and it encourages reading. Its amazing since we made that rule he has really taken to reading. Ray - Some more books for kids would be the Biggles books. You can get them here in Canada not sure about down south. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2001 08:10:43 -0600 From: "Matt Bittner" To: "wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu" Subject: New images Message-ID: <200101111410.GAA07392@avocet.prod.itd.earthlink.net> I just uploaded an extremely well done DH2 as done by Witold Kozakiewicz.
