These 1/48 HR kits have just sort of materialised out of nowhere. And very welcome they are too. If the eclectic choice they produce in 1/72 is anything to go by, we shall probably have some very odd birds appearing in 1/48. Marvellous! We could really do with a Vickers Gunbus though.

So the shop buyers placed plenty of orders. Trouble is they were also flooded with the crap Albatros. At 10 pounds a throw, Glencoe kits were much dearer than in US. They were seen as SMER quality (with good transfers) at higher prices - buyers stayed away in droves and the shops had to sell them off for buttons. (for the transfers) Now nobody here will stock Glencoe and I believe that includes Hannants. I just wish this Argento character would bugg*r off and stop pretending he's ever going to make the DH4. While it keeps appearing in future release schedule, Aeroclub and Blue Max will not consider making one. >Economic necessity. Eduard has the reputation and size to manufacture *then* >market, Glencoe does not. I may well be wrong, but my perception is that Eduard would have been no bigger than Glencoe four or five years ago. They however invested in the product, and sold to their strengths, rather than just reissuing ropey old kits with a decal sheet for a quick buck. Anyway, I've managed to find and stash away 4 Aurora DH4s - first is in preparation stage now I've got the DF Special - so Argento can stick his misered moulds in any or every bodily orifice that seems appropriate.

Message-ID: Yes, definitely Small Air Forces. I think this is typical of this list, just like Hans just wrote, people on the list are open-minded. The best is a combination of OT and some other niche-interest, just like your Belgian Hanriot, Tomasz. I don't think anyone cares, but strictly speaking a lot of the combinations of OT and small air forces, are not OT because that country didn't participate in the war.

I roll small bits of masking tape, sticky side out and then attach these tubes between the ribs on the wings. Then gently airbrush - almost mist - a slightly darker CDL shade onto the exposed rib area. because of the tube shape it gives a nice soft edge. IF you airbrush only straight down onto the rib areas, just enough mist gets under the masking tape overhang to give an instant but subtle shadow effect. if it ain't dark enough just repeat the process. I've thought this might even work with a slightly yellow or brown tinted future solution as opposed to a darkened CDL shade. Who knows. While I say I've had some succes with this, if truth be told it worked once and that was just on an old test wing I had kicking around. haven't tried it on a real model yet ;-) To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: RE: 1:72 British OT A/C Message-ID: >From: Crawford Neil > >I think Cam meant the other way round, only Kendixed >could mean a perverse interest in British a/c and one >football team.

I had to tell him "Commonwealth", to get him that much more interested. I cannot take any credit for this because I too have been "influenced" in a similar direction after my visit to Len Smith's flat about 18 months ago.
