Message-ID: <002f01c0ac3a$2176fa60$20f0aec7@default> When I was a rank novice model buider, I used to hope that I could become a good modeler and not make so many dumb mistakes. I'm generally pleased with the end results of my models these days and by that standard I might lay claim to being a good modeler except for the fact that the stupid mistakes continue unabated. Seems the only thing I have really gotten better at is fixing the mistakes. sp Who just threw 4 strips of loz decal in the water and then realized he wasn't finished priming the panel and is writing this as the Future dries and the decals swim.

The upper wing looks ok but are slightly thicker on one side than the other. Strange since it is a one piece casting. The fuselage is nicely done, very thin and warp free. It is cast as the single seat version. There is no second fuselage as in the vac kit, but instructions tell you to cut out the upper deck for the 2 seat version. Decals are included for Russian versions only, as well as the photoetched skis. I believe I will build a French 2 seater or Guynemer's aircraft. Anyone have any drawings for the interior of a 2 seat type 10? Also no guns are included - Tom says to use aeroclub Hotchkiss or Lewis, but you must scratchbuild a Maxim in order to do the Russian version.

And I forgot to bring the Vegemite along to Mobile. It's still sitting here, waiting for the right.... occasion. And speaking of Mobile, I must say Dave's club put on a real nice show. I can vouch for everything he already told you. Everything went off according to schedule, nice turn out. And a GREAT venue for a show. Well lit and full of real airplanes to look at as well as a battleship and sub to run around on. Lot's of quality models. Very little crap. Even in Juniors. I saw some kids models models that I would have been proud to have built. A handfull of outstanding figures. OT entries were a few of mine and a seriously re-worked Aurora Gotha and a Spad 12 conversion based on the Testors kit. Saw very little OT on the vendor tables. Some William's Bros guns and a Aurora D-VII, both of which I was able to live without. BUt I did pick up a nice ot figure. I'll be going again next year. And I definitely recomend it for anyone else in the area.

I noticed a couple of odd things that I now understand. The wires underneath the wings were slack, there could be two reasons for that, 1.) they are flying wires, so little tension when on the ground, or 2.) they are actually control-wires. Also I saw under the wing there was like a diagonal rib tape, I gues that was part of the wing-warping. A question: is it common on rigged aircraft for the flying-wires to be slack when standing on the ground? /Neil > -----Original Message----- > From: Alberto Casirati [mailto:alberto.casirati@inwind.it] > Sent: den 13 mars 2001 22:25 > To: Neil Crawford > Cc: WW1 Modeling List > Subject: Nieuport IV > > > Dear Neil, > > The Nieuport IV G and M way of controlling the aeroplane was > by no means > conventional. > It was based on wing warping, which means that wing tips were flexible > enough to ac as ailerons under the relevant cables action. > This was quite > common at the time (for example, the Fokker, Morane Saulnier > and Deperdussin > monoplanes followed the same arrangement).

She has a website & I occasionally get an email flyer. You won't >be seeing any Marco's kits soon. Last I saw of John was at a show ~ 2 yrs >ago. He had entered an awsome scratched 1/24 Se5a. No plans do do a kit >of it. The old links to the Marcos site jump to a new one where there are no models of any sort listed. . . which is a pain. I have two of the Marcos kits and would love to get my hands on more. In a related topic, does anyone know what happened to Blueprint Models?? I think it was a PA outfit that did both kits and decals but I stand to be corrected. The ruined decals that came with my Marcos DVII and DVIII were listed as manufactured by Blueprint. Anyone know of the company's fate??
