Very clever... I'm gonna steal that one ;) and thanks for the very generous compliment! The CDL was painted with Polly-Scale... yes, oversprayed the ribs. Once it's all cured, I merely 'dampen' the surface with some clean water, then lightly touch on shades of 'dirty water' (VERY thinned paint... browns and greys) The dampened surface causes it to spread in an uneven, blotchy appearance... much like traditional watercolor painting. Jim, Coming from a guy who scratchbuilds works of art, that is high praise indeed... thank you! Heck, I wouldn't even begin to attempt what you do! Matt wrote: Actually, yes I am. But bear in mind that they require some some work even after they're etched....'cleaning up' with a file and then laminating with styrene in order to get the proper weight and shape; the edges need filling with CA, also, due to the action of the acid on the rather thick metal. If you're really interested, just give me some time to contact the supplier to be certain the material is readily available. Neil wrote: No, as mentioned above, the photoetched shape is laminated with .005 styrene on both sides, resulting in square-sectioned booms. The vertical members are then sanded to airfoil. The undercarriage struts remain the original thickness.

Thanks Mike, me too, I think the Belgians have the most attractive roundal of all. >Where did you see the red tailplane? Looks neat, >but I don't remember seeing it on any >photos, etc. That is a "Cammo Interpretation" :) In the Nieuport Datafile Special for the N11 and N17, that particular aircraft is on it's nose. The tailplane is hanging earthward and unusually dark. It is most probably shadow and the tailplane should be CDL, but I thought it dark enough to fall into being red.

I haven't got around to sanding down yet, but I think that's a good idea with a bit of strue down the middle. Crash moulding the top might cause problems around the edges instead. I discovered a little curiosity with this kit, there are nicely done strut reinforcement "bumps" on the wings opposite to the strut attachments on the other side of the wing. This is a typical Spad thing, the problem is that on the lower wing, the strut attachment and the reinforcement bumps below, don't match up, they are on the wrong ribs! I must say I had a smile at Mr. Gannons little mistake. I'm not going to use the wings anyway. In fact I might use them to correct an Airfix Spad 7, they are much better than Airfix wings, but by then maybe Tamiya will have released their Spad VII (please) :-) /Neil > -----Original Message----- > From: Bittner, Matthew E.

Thanks. Apparently John Bennet ( a retired RAAFie ) is writing a similar book on 3 Squadron AFC/RAAF as he did with 2 Squadron AFC/RAAF in "Highest Traditions". I picked up Highest Traditions in Australia for ~$35 AUD from the Point Cook Museum ( http://www.raafmuseum.com.au ). About a quarter of the book is on 2 AFC. Wonderfully detailed reference. I am look forward to Bennet's book on 3 Squadron as well. btw 3 Squadron was the leading scoring allied squadron in North Africa as well. In WWI as well, they had the remarkable record of never having an aircrew end up as POW. In the photos the training prang was a Vicjkers that flew into 3 Squadrons mess rofl. The sketch of Sandy and Hughes appeared in a London Newspaper, when the word went out the AIF were archiving their war service in WWI, a staff officer sent the picture to the AIF recording unit with the note, that they might be interested in this. Cool site. I will have to build a 3 Sqn RE8 soon.

You put it inside the fuselage halves & it takes the shape of the halves, Then slice it where you want to have the floor. This gives you a plan of the floor. Works OK, you have to be careful with vacs to ensure the clay doesn't expand the fuselage any.

Message-ID: <000201c0d7f5$079a83a0$97d33ccc@oemcomputer> I just received the CSM Gotha G.III today and it is awesome! Lots of beautiful cast resin parts, photoetch, metal bombs, looks like it contains enough to do the entire interior (you must add internal fuselage wires, all wooden stringers are molded into fuselage sides) and an entire book of 1/48 scale drawings. Another masterpiece by Marty Digmayer & Eric, I'm sure he will sell out the first run. The price is about double his single seat fighter kits, and contain a lot more parts, including separate ailerons for the wings. I would call that a great bargain! (It's about the same cost as 2 Aurora Gothas are currently going for, and has more photoetched parts than 5 Eduard kits!) So save up your money and buy it!
