It is the same kit as the DML with rub on transfers instead of decals. It
has lozenge & Berthold's markings, best to replace with aftermarket decals
but a good kit if you can find it.

Subject: OT figures from ICM?
Message-ID:
I followed a link from an Internet Modeler review of an ICM figure kit. On the page where they announce upcoming releases, they list: I World War British Infantry(1917-1918) 35301and I World War German Assault Infantry (1918) 35291.
There's no artwork, the listing simply says that the kits are being designed. What's the likelihood that we'll actually see these?
I really like ICM figures, despite the Vaseline-like mold release they are covered with. Their Franco-Prussian war figures can be converted to WWI, but cheap, plastic, 1/35 on topic figures would be great!

Bob,
It is the DML kit. By now, it's probably as hard to
get as the original. It's von Buren's a/c by DML with
different decals. The sprues, p.e., and instructions
are the same. The box even says Hasegawa/Dragon.

Dear List members
If you rolled up all the previously mentioned novels on WW1 aviation in a
ball they wouldn't come within an mile of 'Winged Victory'. After all,
Victor Yeates actually flew Camels so he knew what he was talking about.
That book is the greatest war film never made!!

Message-ID:
Steve,
where was this stone? What city.
When I was at school in Shrewsbury, there's a grave mark for a guy who died
trying to fly across the Severn River back in the late 1800s (I think migh
have been the 1700s). But for the life of me I can't recall if it was via
balloon or some hand glider contraption.
Given the dates I'd say it's probably the same thing for this guy. IIRC
there were a bunch of adventurers (read loonies) jumping off Church spires,
bridges and iother tall places with various canvas contraptions strapped to
their backs in attempts to thumb the nose at the Montgolfier (sp?)
Brothers and fly sans hot air assistance.
Be interested in finding out exactly ewhat this guy did to earn the "first
aeronaut" moniker.

Well, I have about a dozen kits started and in various stages of
completion. About a 50/50 mix of OT and ot. A couple of the OT kits are
doubles because I figure if I'm going to build similar color schemes, it
would save time. It does, except I don't finish!
I wish I could figure out why I do this. I don't think, however, I have
started a new kit in over six months. Maybe if I get off this d*mn computer
I could get something done!!!

Message-ID:
Dear Listies,
this message is for those among you who play the wonderful OT flightsim RED
BARON 3D (or Red Baron II). If you play this sim online and if you want to
have more fun playing it together with other in an online squadron, I would
be most happy to hear from you offlist. We - my fellow Jasta pilots and
myself - are in need of new recruits to fill the gaps in our ranks. We
organize training for the rookies and fly missions online. Also we have
created a special set of rules to offer a career to everybody who flies
seriously with us, where awards and promotions may be earned.
Even if you never played this sim online please don't worry - we are always
there to help you getting connected to the WOAC servers for playing. It's
very easy.
What you need to play with us is:
1) The Sierra/Dynamix flightsim Red Baron II or Red Baron 3D. In case you
have RBII it must be patched to the 3D version which can be downloaded from
the http:://www.redbaronplayers.com website.
2) We strongly recommend you to make use of a good joystick - for instance
the MS Sidewinder Force Feedback stick, which also includes a rudder
function.
3) A certain sense of comraderie and devotion to the Jasta.
If you want to learn more about our online squadron please feel free to
visit my simulation website by clicking on the SIMULATION button from my
Jasta Boelcke website.
Salute!

Hot air ballooning. He was the first to fly one in England in 1784, shortly

There is a 1/72 Curtiss JN-4 Jenny from Pegasus. It is not listed on their
website, so is no longer in production,
but some shops may still have stocks. Squadron Mail Order may even have
some.
I know I have two and plans for them, but I'll check and see if I have
three...

OK guys, I need some help on my design of the 1:16 Jenny kit. The rudder I
have is an all metal rudder patterned after the Jenny rudder which is made up
of tubing. However, the caster is unable to cast the rudder because the
diameter of the parts is too small. Consequently, I am looking for an
alternative rudder. The Jenny at times did have a wooden rudder but I believe
the trailing edge, actually the perimeter of the rudder is a v shaped piece.
Everything else is wood.
The only plan I have so such a rudder is Nieto plan of the Jenny. He
describes the outer metal part but does not give dimensions of the apparent
wood struts within the rudder.
Does anyone on the list have a better plan or photographs of a Jenny mostly
wooden rudder? Would appreciate any help.

Greetings,
Has anyone seen Aeroclub's Liberty V-12 engines? How do they look? Does
anyone have a pic they can scan in and e-mail to me? I've been trying to
scratch one for a DH-10A, but so far the results are less than spectacular.
TIA,
Ken Zelnick

They look fine, much better than the resin Engines and Things parts.

Mine look real good. Sorry, but I don't have a scanner, or an image to scan
even if I did have a scanner.
