I was standing on the roof, looking at the usual handfull of Fokker 50's, Boeing 737's and SAS DC9 derivatives, it was a lovely peaceful day. Ask RK he's been there, it's not one of the busiest airports. Suddenly I saw a distant spot, within seconds it turned into a Mustang flying straight acroos the runway, and blasting right over my head, the speed of it took my breath away, if I'd been a german soldier, I'd only have had time to gape. That was really something! Turned out that it was Anders Saether on the way home from an air-show up north, who'd been given permission/asked to buzz the tower. And by golly he did, he was LOOOOOOOW. The best experiences are the unexpected ones, that didn't just make my day, it made my month. This is OT, as RK mentioned, it was a Fokker Mustang (via North American - General Aviation - American Fokker - Fokker ) /Neil > -----Original Message----- > From: Nigel Rayner [mailto:nigel@rosnar.demon.co.uk] > Sent: den 24 januari 2001 20:15 > To: Multiple recipients of list > Subject: RE: Aeroplane Reflex > > > I guess we've found something that unites us all.

If I recall correctly, the star is make up of one large X and two small V's. They also have locating pegs but no corresponding holes to locate them to. I removed the locating pegs, set the cabanes first and then let the wing struts fall where they looked right. The only other way would be to make another set of struts and make them a tad longer than they are. I used Blue Rider Sworl decals. This is also the kit where I lost my mind and covered it with real wood. The results are on my web site under Austro-Hungarian. It's a nice kit. The strut set up would be difficult even if they were the right length. Enjoy the build. The results are pleasing.

I plan on trying this as I get closer to finishing the two I have started. One thing I don't like about Toko kits, the HB being probably the biggest offender, is the bogus fabric effect and general "dirty" parts. On one of the kits I have going I have *not* sanded away the fabric effect, thinking that the paint will cover it. Not so. It doesn't look good at all (at least to me). The other one I sanded the wings down completely, even removing the rib tapes, those being replaced with decal strip. From now on I will go this route with Toko flying surfaces. Watch out for the upper wing trailing edge mis-mold, which will have to be sanded. Plus in the two kits I'm working on, one of the upper wing tips (I can't remember if it's port or starboard) was molded "fatter" than the other side, so I had to sand those down. Blech. These problems are why they haven't been completed yet. I admitted defeat, put them away, and will wait until I get the motivation back to finish them. ;-) However, don't let that stop you. Some of these problems are due to my anal modeling... :-) Matt Bittner ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 14:34:47 +0100 From: Crawford Neil To: "'wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu'" Subject: RE: Brandenburg D.I Message-ID: Recognize this from the Revell kits, you never seem to have done enough sanding, something always seems to show through, irritating! /Neil > > On one of the kits I have going I have *not* sanded away the fabric > effect, thinking that the paint will cover it.

I bought myself one of these and, boy, it's a marvelous tool for removing the bogus fabric effect. I did Toko's Nie. 11 and Snipe in less than ten minutes. The trick is that the brush, while working like fine wet'n'dry paper, conforms to the cavities and ribs removing subtly equal 'layer' of plastic everywhere, so there is no need to redo ribs afterwards. (With very heavy application you might be able to remove ribs, too, I suppose.) I bought it from this friend and unfortunately don't know where the conservators get them. The brushes (glass fibre, brass, or steel hairs) come as a separate pieces (about 1/2 inch long and a diameter of maybe 1/6 inch) that are inserted into a pen-like handle which has a turning knob in the rear end to adjust the brush. Cost me roughly equivalent of US$ 6-7, one handle and a couple of spare brushes. Excellent thing, Can't praise it enough.

It seems to me with the frequency of gun jams plus just the additional firepower, 2 would be much better than 1. However, as we all know, a lot of those planes were pretty light and the added weight factor could have significantly altered flight characteristics and airspeed. That certainly happened in much more advanced and powerful planes in WWII, e.g., look at the Bf109 [yes, yes, I know it's heresy to string those five letters and numbers together on this list but all I can say is nyah, nyah, nyah...:-)] Jack Gartner diaphus@tampabay.rr.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 09:47:12 -0600 From: "Matt Bittner" To: "wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu" Subject: Laskodi's Strutter Message-ID: <200101251547.HAA22829@scaup.prod.itd.earthlink.net> Bob Laskodi's masterful Sopwith LCT is on Modeling Madness - http://www.modelingmadness.com.

I bought myself one of these and, boy, it's a marvelous tool for removing the bogus fabric effect. I did Toko's Nie. 11 and Snipe in less than ten minutes. The trick is that the brush, while working like fine wet'n'dry paper, conforms to the cavities and ribs removing subtly equal 'layer' of plastic everywhere, so there is no need to redo ribs afterwards. (With very heavy application you might be able to remove ribs, too, I suppose.) I bought it from this friend and unfortunately don't know where the conservators get them. The brushes (glass fibre, brass, or steel hairs) come as a separate pieces (about 1/2 inch long and a diameter of maybe 1/6 inch) that are inserted into a pen-like handle which has a turning knob in the rear end to adjust the brush. Cost me roughly equivalent of US$ 6-7, one handle and a couple of spare brushes. Excellent thing, Can't praise it enough.
