I only got some copies over here, with one of the drawings actually warped due to some early removal from the copy machine, but I think I remember who had the originals. There was a whole series on Sopwith prototypes in this publication - I also got something on the Snail and Snapper. The Rhino was in vol 1 no 6. BTW, does anybody know this publication and have an idea what happened to it?

It photographs better than it actually is ;) What I really wanted to do was a Sopwith Rhino, but I couldn't get the drawing right, Does anyone know of an existing drawing? Any scale. And do we reckon there might have been some "Strutter" components in it.

Paint all the facial details which we had dreamed of.... and believe me! It was an awful and hard job! We both did not manage to paint perfect eyes!

The colour used doesn't seem to be as light as the roundel colours. The camouflaged machines (especially for the 11's) appear to follow a fairly common scheme, differing primarily in the location of the borders between the colours, rather than in the general placement of each colour. There was a painting of a camouflaged French Nieuport 12 done by Henry Farre which should clear up the controversy concerning the colours. I have ordered a book of his aircraft paintings from http://www.scry.com/ayer/ - a reprint from a 1920 book which I am eagerly awaiting which should clear up the mystery. Ball's aircraft was likely redoped by the RFC in PC.10 - I have seen nothing to indicate that the French delivered any aircraft in anything but the colours they were themselves using. The trick of not doping the white has been noted on aluminium doped 17's in RFC service, and A134 appears to have had the same thing done. It saves a bit on excess weight and it isn't all that noticable from a distance, cdl being fairly light anyway.

Mensinger" To: wwi@wwi-models.org, huggins1@swbell.net Subject: Re: Correct Air Pressure for Future Message-ID: <3AF03899.8B98F559@x25.net> Try Welding supply companies. Ask about used gauges and get a good pressure control while you about it. ( Only adjust the control with the air passing through the control device. It is possible to damage the diaphram if it isn't flowing..) If possible put in a surge tank with an on/off pressure/electrical control switch between the compressor and the airbrush. The compressor will run when the tank pressure falls to a certain amount and shut off when top pressure is reached. Not essential but a good thing to have. Helps keep the compressor from overheating.
