I'm leaning toward making a light pencil mark the correct distance back from the LE and then using a sharp #11 to cut a light groove from the pencil mark forward. Then carefullly gluing bits of stretched sprue in the grooves. Might get them about even and the same length with luck.

Steve, why couldn't you use the same approach as with the ribs, only instead of spraying future, mark the ends of the false ribs and brush future or something on the thread to hold it in place almost to the marked end. When dry, cut to exact length, which should be close to where you brushed the future on, and brush a little more on to secure the tag end. When all are done, you could spray as many coats as you need. Sorry if this a dumb question, but I told you earlier about us privates. Mike K.

Message-ID: <20010311011717.75736.qmail@web11105.mail.yahoo.com> Hi all, I received four 1:48 Blue Rider decal sheets Friday. One Italian and three Russian. The Italian Squadriligia markings look good. There are decals for eleven a/c including 4 Nie. 17's, three Nie. 11's, 2 Hanriots, and two Spad VII's. Blue Rider has managed to supply some of the more unusual markings. The Russian sheets include two sheets for the Russian Civil War. The Imperial Russian AS decals actually have markings that don't all read "Bob". It has several Nieuports including a Nie. 23. Also a Spad VII, Sopwith 1.5 Strutter, and a MoS. type L. What bums me out though is the lack of any imperial eagle decals. The Russian Civil War sheets are composed of Camel and Spad VII's. I bought these from Roll Models for a very good price.

I visited a big R/C flea market in Pennsylvania and found A mint copy Harleyford Marine Aircraft of the 1914-1918 war at a very reasonable price, also found a NIB Dragon SPAD 13 for $3.00 and one ot Revell X-3 with all the parts and good decals for $2.00. One thing I did see that was most impressive was a 80 inch wing span scale Taube, very well done it was but the price tag of $1000.00 was a bit much. I hope you all had as fine a day as mine.

I thought of masking the rear part of the wing with parafilm and spraying the part on the front that would be half ribs then trimming. Your idea seems a better way to do that that technique.

Not quite lost but there is some, occassional, confusion. What settings did you establish as standard for the models. I have been taking photos of real planes and I am not up on the small ones yet. Stinson Field at San Antonio has establed a Museum and I have been "Warmly Welcomed" and told to come down and shoot till I wear out. They will be more heavy into between the wars but there will eventually be some early birds due to the traing of pilots for WW I. Lee M.

Message-ID: <20010311034711.51410.qmail@web11103.mail.yahoo.com> Steve, Blur Rider has several RCW sheets in 1:72 and I think they're different than the 1:48. I only wish they has as many in 1:48. Roll Models has the best price. The first sheet (515) has two Camels in PC10. One has a strange looking cross on a white circle and is from the Georgian AF. The second one is a British-flown Camel with Russian roundels attached to the the Whites in Southern Russia. The third a/c is a Spad VII of the Red Navy with a red star natl. markings. The second sheet has one CDL Bolshevik Spad VII. It has a red star imposed on imperial AS markings. Next is a Nie.23 from the Red Navy. It has an imperial navy insignia (anchor w/wings)on the fuselage with red stars on the flying surfaces. The third is a Nie. 11/16 of the Red Air Fleet with altered imperial roundels. References for both decal sheets are in Insignia Magazine, #4 and 6.

I'm hoping someone will do some of the more exotic ones like the demons chasing airplanes and brandishing vodka bottles. sp ----- Original Message ----- From: "Todd Hayes" To: "Multiple recipients of list" Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2001 10:51 PM Subject: Re: Blue Rider's Russian and Italian Decal Sheets. > Steve, > > Blur Rider has several RCW sheets in 1:72 and I think > they're different than the 1:48.
