Just had a package arrive from a new friend in PA: barker's Camel in 1:28, Nice Eduard Albatros DV profi and the DML Spad in the colourful Stars and Bars scheme - yummy looking kit! Will be diving into the Camel tonight with a view to finishing it for the model show here at the end of the month along with (God willing) a Smer Sopwith Stripe and Eduard's non-profi Roland. Anyone point me to some good on-line photo sources for the Camel interior? I have the Squadron Sopwith book and a good cutaway diagram of the Camel but little else and no time to order the datafile.

If used in macro setting, the digital cameras field of depth is much greater than for the conventional one. Taking some model photos, I found that not only the model was sharp, but also the table and wall behind. Optical zoom should be used in preference to the digital one. Using the view-finder to aim the digital camera did not work for me, took a bit of time getting used to the LCD screen. It is difficult to photgraph anything that moves with my digital camera. The camera eats batteries, you need more than one set of batteries to fill up a 16Mb card, especially if they power the flash as well. You can not expect the flash to be as powerful as the separate units for SLR cameras, so range is limited to a couple of meters. Miss having UV filters etc on the digital camera, filtering has to be done after loading onto the computer. I have a Floppy disk adapter so I can load images from the SmartMedia card onto any computer with a 3.5" drive after loading a driver from an ordinary floppy. Very useful if you have an old PC or just want to borrow one that do not belong to yourself. The very highest settings for resolution should be reserved for special occasions, 1.8Mb images are way to large for the web. I am happy with my Fujifilm Finepix 4700 zoom, still learning the pros and cons, but one does at least get to see the photo immediately after it was taken.

Message-ID: <3AC9056E.8E4A488F@verizon.net> Candace, I'm working on the same bird now as well. If you go by the kit cockpit interior the machine guns mount butt end on top of the "notches" in the instrument panel (above the side panels on either side of the central "oval" instrument panel. I don't believe that the kit cockpit interior bears much resemblance to the actual aircraft's cockpit interior. It looks to me like they tried to copy the Roland C.II cockpit but provided clearance notches in the instrument panel to accommodate the guns. I am redoing the cockpit based on a lot of conjecture which is itself based on the Windsock Datafile and drawings supplied to me by Diego Fernetti. I believe the drawings are based on Wylam drawings and so are rather suspect but they do provide a start. Still I don't know such basic things as did the cockpit have a full cockpit floor or just foot runners. have added the interior framing from Evergreen HO scale 2 X 2 plastic strip. I am using .020" thick sheet plastic sheet to fill in the fuselage frame webs where indicated by Diego's drawings. Apparently, looking at photographs and the drawings there are metal frame cross pieces stretching across the width of the fuselage interior one mounts on the cockpit side of the instrument side panels at the top of the panels, the other is mounted on one side or the other of the next fuselage frame forward of the "instrument" panel frame. Steel chanels were mounted fore and aft bridging the space between the bars. The machine guns were mounted to these channels. I'm moving very slowly at this point hoping to find further cockpit interior information before I procede much farther.

Actually todd, what made it obvious was not that it was April 1, but that we
are all sensitive to certain disturbances in the sub-ether.  It works like
this: we are all a bunch of strange plastic-heads (include resin, metal,
wood, etc - you know what I'm referring to) and we are all into this 'black
art' of WWI modelling.  Envision us as all being spiders sitting at the
perimeter of a common web: if some ultra-obscure Czech basement company
produces some ultra-obscure kit of an ultra-obscure subject (a la the Grain
Kitten), it is like an unfortunate mosquito has lighted in the web, and the
vibrations alert us to this almost impossible to get goodie (and we do
indeed procure it!).  Now, aside from the fact that the news of a real
Staaken would have hit this metaphoric web like a double-decker bus that has
been dropped from a REAL Staaken at 20,000 feet, there is also the matter of
the modeler's ether.

The modeler's ether works like this: it can be envisioned as a plane that
stretches far and wide and crosses the consciousness of all humans.
Vortices, appearing almost as chakras would, connect each individual to this
plane - assuming that these people have been exposed to the subject.  If you
could see this plane, it would look like the model of 'gravity wells' that
are used to explain cosmic interactions.  Even the 'wells' of our List

vibrations.  The development of a 1/48 resin Staaken would open up a

That's right - we'd all turn into die-hard Luftwaffe '46 fans.  And there
