Americal/Gryphon does them in both 1:48 and 1:72. A-H did use some Fokker Eindeckers. Others on the list can probably help you more than I can on this subject. Hermann Goering used an all white Fokker D.VII and I'm pretty sure there were other non-lozenge D.VII's in use. Blue Max has a Albatros D.III OEF in 1:48 that can be done as a series 53, 153, or a 253. Nice kit. About the AW FK3, I don't know. Copper State was going to do a FK8 but I'm unsure if it still in the works. I don't know about the Prussian Blue paint.

Tarnstoff literally translates into Camouflage Fabric, the German desigantion for any kind of printed fabric (wether 4 or 5 color, naval or the not so well known "bubble" one. Mainlly what is usually (but not completely corredt) called lozenge > What types of aircraft did A-H use in addition to the ones that they > produced domestically? Lots - there is a complete chapter in the FMP book on that. Mainly German (Albatros J I, Fokker E types, Pfalz E II, Early Fokker D's, Gotha G V, lots of Brandenburgs, to name just a few), but also Russian (Anatra, as an example). I'm not at home now but can send you a more complete list later. > Does any body know if any Fokker DVII's used during the war by Germany or > its allies were finished in something other than the lozenge pattern? Obviously the fuselage of early D VII's was finished in streaked camouflage like the Dr I. However, if you strictly consider aircraft factory finishes (no repaints) and actual operational use (exclude the few MAG D VII prototypes), that's about it. > Does anyone make a 1/48 Oeffag Albatross DIII, and a Armstrong Whitworth FK > 3 that is still in production and or readily available? Alb D III (Oeff) should still be available from Blue Max. > And finally, what the heck does OT stand for??

Well, I was in Germany with a Canadian sniper who was also a modeller. I'm not sure where he is right now (he was in Petawawa, Ontario, the last I heard of him), but I can try to find out. Since my service time was in the Air Force, where we fought wars from the closest Holiday Inn to the front lines, I probably wouldn't be of much help.

Depends on what you´re looking for: I propose - the kitchen (spices like curry and cinnamon are wonderful to portray earth, and the dioramas smell wonderful!). Don´t go for pepper... - a walk in a park in early summer (look for small plants that can go for trees, at least in Proper Scale) - any railroad shop for small stones and grass (here the more expensive one really is better Too, Railroad shops have usually a good supply of cardboard or plastic walls, roofs etc. for scratchbuilding Finally, I still think that Preiser does the most worthwhile figures for dioramas - both in 72 and 48 scale. They can easily be converted to represent an earlier time period, and there is an beautiful selection availabler (at least 9 72 scale sets, including one wonderful "multipose set", and also some 48 scale ones). Preiser also did superb palm trees - ideal for a Palestine diorama.
