Key words: "might be planning" Don't worry, IF they are going to do one I'd bet the ranch it will be the G.IV/G.V variant. You will still need two of Eric's G.II's. Come on Eric, let's see those kits. Do I need to get any connections to "persuade" your PE guy to get to work? You know, give him a tune up. Tamiya's been "planning" a 1/48 B-17 for just about ever too. :) Thanks for the tip Andy. Brent -----Original Message----- From: aa8.

If Eduard intend to continue feeding us rather than move almost entirely to the WW2 area - this makes very good sense. It's certainly the first 2 engine machine I'd make in their shoes. After all, it's easily the best known, the long OoP and not accurate Aurora is probably the most sought after of that lamented line of kits, for a bomber it isn't all that big, even non-WW1 freaks want one....etc. It's make a good anniversary release too - 10 years of Eduard kits? - and best of all you can start with a G.IV and then begin making variants. > I for one will be turning my prayer mat East this evening > towards the Czechrepublic. > Sorry Eric, it's just what I've heard. > I've still got one of yours on order. > regards Poor old Eric is in a worse position than we scratchbuilders watching all our potential subjects produced in kits. At least all we have to do is drop the idea - he has money invested. OTOH, not all is bleak - while if Eduard DO release a Gotha it'll be half the price or less (not criticising Eric here) it will be seen and bought by non-WW1 fans as well as us. It's not a zero sum game. Those guys who'd never think to buy one of Erics kits but who build an Eduard Gotha become potential customers for Erics *other* tasty morsels. And at least he can sell them some brass!

If any of you are able to make it, I hope to meet you. Skippy (Scott) King The Military Modelers Club of Louisville (MMCL) is counting down to their March 24th one-day Slugger Invitational. This years show and contest will include some great competition, model displays, refreshments, huge raffle and some beautiful awards. The show and contest is scheduled for this Saturday, March 24th at the Galt House, Cochran Room. Free parking is available at the indoor parking garage at the Galt House East only. Entrants and vendors can unload their items using the loading dock on the lower level of the Galt House and then park their automobiles directly across the street at the Galt House East. MMCL members will be on hand to assist with directions for anyone that needs help. Standard IPMS 1-2-3 rules will be the award criteria so plan on dropping in for a festive time. Louisville is close to Fort Knox and the Patton Museum so armor buffs can make a side trip. For more information on the Slugger Invitational check out the clubs web site located at: http://www.mmcl.org ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 18:22:34 -0800 (PST) From: Todd Hayes To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: Word on the Streets.

Some years ago I bought a pack of what I thought to be friskit paper. It turned out to be sheets of translucent mylar. Gotta be 5 thou or less. No sticky on it. First I used it to trace the rib stations, then white glued it to a piece of cardboard (came in an order from A/G). This I punched holes in and used as a jig for "sewing" the rib detail. No need to drill the mylar, punches easily but is strong enough not to yield to the thread like the cardboard alone when you pull it tight. Next use was to scribe parallel lines right next to each other.When turned over it had a perfect corregated surface that goes between the root and nacelle on the lower wing of the AEG. Finally I used it to trace the stab & elevator off the plans. I just taped it face down on a piece of card and burnished the back and it transferred the drawing directly to the card. Haven't tried it, but this stuff might work well as a skinning material in a St. H style wing. Trace the wing pattern directly from the drawing. Takes a scribed line well and is easier to bend than card. With a clear plastic wing blank, you could get truly translucent CDL. sp ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 21:18:19 -0500 From: "John & Allison Cyganowski" To: Subject: Re: French Nieuport 12 information Message-ID: <000801c0b0e4$08f79810$f538183f@cyrixp166> The Vintage Warbirds Nieuport Aircraft, Bruce, has quite a few photos, but noe G/A drawings.

He has a web site, I think the link is on the list. It looks pretty good, the resin has a few bubbles but nothing that can't be fixed. I got as far as cutting out all of the vac parts, but have not sanded them. The center section/engine support must be scratchbuilt from furnished rod stock. this does not look like fun to me. (even though I volunteered to do the Merlin Nieuport!)

All he knows is that they supposedly had green and white striped horizontal tails, but that is it other than the single photo of Weiner next to his a/c.

Now does anyone have an opinion as to the colors used along with the Hex camouflage brown shade? What color was used under the wings, fuselage sides & Bottom and of course there's the floats and struts, what say all of you on this? I'm thinking since this is a tiny flyer already I will try to find the Lonestar kit, second will be the Merlin. Anyone know where a Merlin kit of this plane sits available? Thanks again everyone.

It seems that ALP Maqueties will be releasing a 1/48 resin Nieuport II in April '01. Their kits are excellent. Hi-Tech Models lists a 1/48 AEG G.IV in the 2nd Quarter '01!!! By the way, on Friday of last week I received the Model Airways 1/16 Nieuport 28. On first look I don't think it looks as good as their Albatros. One thing that cot my eye was the need to use a "soda can" material to cover the fuel tanks. I think a kit of this level a price could include a small sheet of aluminum.
