On p. 25 of the samw DF, you can find a uncovered standard Strutter, and it shows a small round "emergency seat" in the gunners position which might be the more original version. If you donīt have that DF, I can send you a scan.

Yesterday I prepared two seats from PART PE set and today morning I started wondering what was the rear cockpit look like. No control stick, no rudder pedals, no wheels on cockpit sides, no control panel - that I'm quite sure but did observer had the same wicker seat as pilot? I doubt. It would be very difficult to use guns sitting in that kind of "armchair". So I need picture or drawing of rear cockpit of fighter version of Strutter. Or maybe somebody can describe it? I do not know what to do.

The reason I'm curious about the rear position is that I would think it possibly logical for them to carry only one rear MG to save weight. BTW, this is to be a Gotha G.Vb.

Witold, this has probably been answered by now, but just in case the rear cockpit of the Strutter is completely empty. The datafile includes a photo from the RAF Museum's Strutter (looking forward to the pilot, and there is a wood floor and nothing else except the back of the fuel tank. There is also a photo of an uncovered Strutter also in the DF which appears to show a round padded stool in the rear cockpit supported on four tubular metal legs. The Flashback kit has a stool in the rear cockpit, which seems reasonable to me. No seat belts, just the old British white knuckles and "balls of steel" approach to observer safety.

Tho only problem was that the black plastic sprue was missing from each kit. Being John this didn't deter him so he cast a set of whitemetal replacement parts for the kit. He had several of these and he then sold them on through his Aeroclub outlet. I have one complete with white metal. I am also willing to trade it. What I want is an Eduard Albatross C.III in 1/48th. If your friend wants a perfect Aurora kit I can't help but if he wants a builder this is OK. Let me know He also found some Breguet 14's.

This is the right size to fit in perfectly. I think the 20 oz. bottles are the same size.

I replace it every time, but it doesn't seem to solve the Tamiya jar problem (I mainly use their clear colors). Maybe the Saran wrap would do better, there, I'll have to try. Foil works great for the Floquils, Testors, and PollyScales, but I wish they used a better quality jar lid and cap liner. The ones they use seem to be intended to dissolve from the paint fumes once the 'factory seal' is gone south. > >.Mark. > > ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 3042 **********************
