Oh no! I can read this because I was born on Sedan's day in '71. 1871.

Serious: It's not hard to learn. If you are familiar with the words, it's
quite readable.

Hi All,

Mark-In my testing, I have found that with Ceramcoat it is best to thin it
with Future(it seems to stick better to UNPRIMED plastic when thinned with
Future as opposed to water) and add ONE OR TWO drops of "flow enhancer" or
"acrylic airbrush medium" or "acrylic retarder". I was told by the folks at
the art supply store I go to that they are all the same thing.  Also, they
did stress the one or two drops for airbrushing. You will want a slightly
higher proportion if brushing by hand. I haven't had any of the problems
you mentioned since following the above. Also, I am using a Paasche H1 and
a Testors/Azteck type airbrush. I haven't yet tried the Ceramcoat in my
Paasche VL. I mist the coats on and it seems to cover very well since I
started using a primer. I still haven't decided whether enamel or flat
acrylic works best as a primer. Also, I am finding that Future seems to
work very well as a Primer!! I had airbrushed Future over plain Evergreen
sheet styrene and then brushed on Ceramcoat for the "tape liftoff" test and
it stuck like an enamel!!! Given how thin Future is, this would really be a
good thing if we could use it as a Primer as well!!! I haven't yet tried
airbrushing Ceramcoat over Future as a primer, but I imagine it should
stick just as well.  Is there anything Future isn't good for??? I wonder
how good it is as a bourbon mixer????????? : o)

Regards,
John

No, they are not.

I have some copies of the old Aerodrome Modeller with beaucoup articles
by John Guttman on French markings--I'll leaf through them tonight and
see if that one's in there

Nice job on the replacement Pup photos: the PC10 now looks like PC10
instead of John Deere green (or is it International Harvester green--I
can never remember...)  Next model up is a Sopwith Dolphin

Wait a sec -  spider, eight arms with tiny claws, capable of meticulous

No need.  Most of us have that on CD, and I paged through it - nothing.
 In fact, I don't even think Herr Pearson has any SPA 153 profiles!

Thanks for the offer, though.

Subject: Rib Tapes:Evergreen half-round?
Message-ID: <3AAFC8B4.F85DD0F3@earthlink.net>

Hi Guys

After listening in and reading about various arcane methods to add the
effect of rib tapes on OT wing surfaces, I wonder if anyone has tried
strips of Evergreen half-round strip styrene. I bought a package the
other day, and the .060 (1.2 mm) size looks to be the perfect width for
1/48 wings, and with some careful sanding, the half-round contour should
flatten out nicely after they're stuck down.

What do you think?

Dame Karen

nb: 1/35 Polish armored car, Wz.34; ot but neat little thing to restore
rusty modeling skills...had no interior or engine and a covered over
underside, so naturally I've opened two doors and the hood and cut out
the offending flat surfaces between frame members which now lets me
build things like shock absorbers, spark plugs, and clutch pedals...it
wasn't broke, but I'm fixing it anyway--is this terminal AMS?

Marc,

I haven't ever used Ceramcoat but I wonder if this bubbling might be the
result of too liberal adding of flow enhancer. In a thread not so long
ago some one told that he/she uses Kodak Photo-Flo with acrylic colours.
Now, in a leaflet that comes with Photo-Flo bottle there is told that if
used too much foaming may result. If this Flow Enhancer works in a
similar way the foaming may be the reason for paint bubbling. HTH.

Hey Karen,

    That's the method I'm using on the Gotha.  I also use .040 strip, which
rounds a little at the edges once sanded.  My main stuff has been the
.010x.040 strip.  I then brush on a nice coat of Mr. Surfacer and sand it
all down.  Once the white of the plastic begins to show, I sand between
them.  The result is a slightly raised 'rib' with a droop in between.

    The engine nacelles should be done tonight.  Photos will be coming ASAP.

Karen, I have used (flat) plastic strip, I thought about the half rounds, but 
decided they'd involve too much sanding, as they are half as 'tall' as they 
are wide.

Every flow enhancer I've tried weakens the binder in the paint. I've taken to 
using Futrue to make the paint spray smoother and less cloggy......and we're 
talkin' BIG areas here- I've started using Future in my airbrush paintings, 
and paint mixed with this miracle product stands up to repeated masking with 
every thing I've thrown at it. It's also a pretty good medium to mix water 
color with- makes it waterproof, and will stick to almost anything.

Hi Listees:  To Matt...I want to be nice so you won't come and blow up
my computer too...for Spa 153 it is as Bob P. said..a stylized bird like
creature with wings outstretched much resembling an eagle with some sort
of a ring-like object in it's claws...it is also largly reddish solid
sections with red outlined around white.  It is shown in about the most
complete section on French aircraft markings I have ever seen in Volume
7 # 3 issue of the old Cross and Cockade series.  I'd gladly copy that
page for you but the defination on the sketches is poor at best....Bob
Horton.

Spa 153 flew Spad 7's during WW1, their badge is (was?) a red and silver
eagle in egyptian style carrying a magic ring. There is a picture of the insignia
in Aircam no.9. Decals exist for Curtiss Hawks that they used during WW2
(ABT-20 and an Esci sheet for french ww2 a/c).
I can't find a picture with a Spad of Spa153 unfortunately. 
Hope this is of help.
