What we really need is a Linke Hoffman R.1--I think 1/72nd would be acceptable. Still nobody out there has weakened and decided to sell me a Staaken. Name a price, I might go for it. As there seems to be a split between opinions about when and how this should go on and I for one have no wish to cause upset I think it would be best for now if we either wait or run it on an ongoing kind of run along side other things basis.

I went downstairs and lo and behold - a box from Hannant's! I ordered this stuff just before Christmas, so it's been a month or less. What was inside? Well, not my Aeroclub Meteor F.8 (hey, I'm a sucker for short-wing Meteors - one of my fave jets!). What WAS inside was my Aeroclub B.E.2.c and my PV-7 from HR Model. Please allow my in-box review of both here. First, I'll discuss my impressions of the HR Models Grain Kitten. It looks cute, fairly simple, and the resin of the major surfaces (i.e. the wings and fuselage) have a surface texture that resembles a cross between Edward James Olmos' and Manuel Noriega's faces. Goodness! More accurately, it looks like the surface of a particularly rough orange, and though it will be easy to remove and fill, there is some nice rib detail on the wings and I just wish it weren't neccessary to replace it. However, any shortcomings in the Grain Kitten are more than blown away by the B.E.2.c! While I bitch and moan to no end (well, I DO get overshadowed on occasion) about model producers, I can't say but ONE thing not in favor of the Aeroclub kit: I wish the instruction drawings were a little more involved. But it really isn't a major point. Aeroclub even tries to represent the fabric ripples at the intersection of the fuselage members - something that I've seen on alot of A/C, but have never tried to reproduce myself. It may well be that this kit (or the Aeroclub F.E.2.b) will be the first kit that I 'start-to-finish' in my new house! The HR kit is cheap. Buy one, it should make a nice model once cleaned up. BUY THE B.E.2.c! Hell, BUY EVERYTHING THAT AEROCLUB MAKES! They have a new friend! DB ...still a happy Hannant's customer.... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2001 12:11:06 -0600 From: "Matt Bittner" To: "wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu" Subject: Re: The scale that dare not speak its name Message-ID: <200101191813.KAA15236@snipe.prod.itd.earthlink.net> On Fri, 19 Jan 2001 11:56:48 -0500 (EST), LEONARDPeterL@aol.com wrote: > Most of you know me as one who works in the manly scale of 1/48, but I have a > dark secret.

Let us just say that all the detail dimensions must be from the equivalent of William Wyler Bristol Fighter drawings.

The ONLY instructions that were in my kit was an exploded view of the fuselage interior, absolutely nothing on undercarriage, engines or anything else for that matter. Is that all there is or is Modelbud kidding with this instruction set?

Message-ID: <4B9386E83999D411997100508BAF206A79EC70@stamail.telecom.sna.samsung.com> Howdy gang! What's everyone working on? I've also noticed several posts mentioning deadlines. How many of these projects on the bench are for customers, magazines or webzines? I myself have been up to me ears in resin working on an ot (but very cool) 1/72 T-35. She's big and very challenging. I'm wanting to get her into IM for this month, but it's going to be close. As a result I am completing another piece of ot 1/72 Russian armor as a back-up article. I have two P-$1's that are getting really close to completion for a group challenge. My Mig-&'s have multiplied. I now have six on the bench. SHeesh! I'm trying to wade my way back to my beloved Halberstadt's. I also have a Brisfit I need to do for the Museum. I have decided on McKeever's markings. The DH-2 has been languishing too long as well. What are ya'll working on? Later!

Maybe even no special website ? I just think it's too wide a subject for the cookup format. Maybe a just a page with pledges replaced by finished photos ?

Many of the resin kits I have from Eastern Europe are, shall we say vauge? in the instruction area. That may be all you get. Good luck!
