Pictures are nice, artwork is a bit garish. I've already read the first few pages whilst I was waiting for my wife. I never realised how small the population of Canada was in 1914 only 8 million or so. This makes me wonder at some of the numbers in the book. over six hundred thousand Canadians on the western front? thats close to 8 percent of the population. If you think that through thats a very high percentage of the adult male population that could serve. One of the funny parts of the book that I have read so far is the fact that the RFC recruiting officer in Canada in 1915 thought most Canadians were not sociably suitable for the RFC.

I posted this re: Australian numbers in WW1 Stats from the Great War Australias population 4.8 million Enlistment 416,809 (10% of the population) Casualties 213,061 (50% of force, 5% of national population, 10% of ALL males) So the effort made by Canada is more or less equivalent, and yes it was a hell of a sacrifice by two relatively small countries. Incidentally, as a % of Population I *think* the Kiwis provided the greatest numbers.

I used to, and started while I was a kid with those magnificent mounted figures by Airfix. Later, when I returned to the hobby I purchased some napoleonic figures to paint and did some, but laziness have won again and now I'm only into WW1 drab uniforms... I have here a battered Napoleon lead figure that used to be over the computer screen until I knocked it off and the Emperor lost its head.... and no on the guillotine!

As Todd said, there's CSM spandau guns, wich I use frequently that have a resin body and a PE jacket and sights. The Spandaus by Tom's Modelworks are good too, but you have to build the "body" of the gun with layers of styrene and brass, wich are diminutive and very fiddly. But you may compose the Tom's PE jacket and sight with a Rosemont resin body, but it isn't a choice until I run out of the CSM spandaus. Apart from spandau guns, I use Aeroclub white metal ones, sometimes with wire barrels (as for the lewis) or Tom's modelworks PE details to spruce up the castings.

Not only Tom's, but CSM and Fotocut make p/e for Spandau jackets. Otherwise I tend to go with Rosemont, but sometimes these need help. I'm going to try my hand at replacing the barrels for the HD.3 with syringe - if I can find it small enough - or just wire. The bodies of the Lewis are decent enough, it's just the barrels that need help. Oh and the drums... FWIW...

I'm not sure if you could convert it to a VII by shortening, but at £13 it sounds like an expensive way of doing it. There is an article on the Spad XII in Windsock no.3 or 4-88 (volume 4) or Windsock 1-99 (vol.5) not sure which just now. It's funny that this should pop up today, I was looking around for something yellow and red to paint at the same time as a rather lovely Cessna Birddog glider tug that was in the latest copy of Avions, so I was looking at that copy of Windsock this morning before work. The Madon machine would be perfect, and I should have a kit on the way, if Hannants don't fail. Incidentally the rear end of the Madon machine is unknown, the markings in the Pegasus kit are speculative, the tailplane could be yellow, the number is unknown unfortunately. I will still be doing that one, I don't have enough red Spads. /Neil > -----Original Message----- > From: dfernet0 [mailto:dfernet0@rosario.gov.ar] > Sent: den 9 februari 2001 12:38 > To: Multiple recipients of list > Subject: RE: Pegasus SPAD 12 > > > So.. > 1 kit to do a Spad XII > 1 kit to convert it to a Spad VII > 1 kit to convert it to a Spad XIII (early) > > So far for the accurate Spad draught! > D. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Matt Bittner > > > Wich are the differences in the airframe of a Spad XII > and the XIII? > Just > > > the weapons? > > I'm not certain, but I think the fuselage is more along the > lines of a > > SPAD 7, with the wings of an early 13.

I must confess I'm not an expert in Spads of any type, but this one from Pegasus sure looks dainty and worth the expense. > a rather lovely Cessna Birddog glider tug that was in the > latest copy of Avions Got some pictures of glider tugs.

There is a datafile to be released very soon, or those old Windsocks, I'll be in touch off list, as soon as I've fixed the bug(s) in the program I just wrote. I agree the Pegasus looks lovely. /Neil >Yes... But how to get a decent spad VII -not in resin- without it? Is the >longest part aft the cockpit?
