He plans on having it flying very soon, and it'll be mostly here in the Tulsa area. I'm going to go over and visit with him tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to go see it (it's based in Collinsville, a bit outside of town) soon, and if I do, I'll shoot about 14 rolls of film for detail photos;-) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 08 May 2001 21:58:11 -0500 From: Craig Gavin To: Subject: Re: More Caudron Answers :) Message-ID: Count me in for two, as well.

Message-ID: <18CC6010.795123F1.3E0364A1@netscape.net> You know, I've read a lot of criticism about CA and Blue whatever, but I've bought almost every one, mainly because I liked the aircraft and wanted to do the model. I knew I wasn't getting a "Tamigawa" and that it would take a bit of work . . . and Milliput. My results aren't anything I would want to post for everyone to see, but, with some reservations, they look decent. The theorem: perfect kit equals perfect model, doesn't work for me. Which is why I'm scared to start Eric's Gotha. In each kit I try to use one or more recently "learned" techniques to make it better than earlier attempts. That's where this List comes in. Now, I'm much more comfortable thinking I know what I'm doing or is it just "ignorance is bliss? ;-) Mike K.

Get the fuselage piece and use the pencil leads as a mini contour gauge. You can use the leads later in your pencil, this is not a destructive procedure. Worked like a charm on my Albatros D.II and the actual Nieuport 28. Just minor adjustements are needed on the styrene piece once cut. I think that maybe a similar contour gauge can be doone with a lot of thin straight brass wires and a metal clasping mechanism, but that's a lot of work and probably would cost a bundle.

I wouldn't >sell my copy under $100. I still use it as a reference, even though >I almost know it by heart, it's 30 years old and falling to pieces. I don't know about its market value being $100, though it may be worth that amount to you. The difference between your $100 valuation and the $12 market price is known to economists as "consumer surplus" but it is certainly worth $11.38 - at least to me:). That's actually about what it cost me, including S&H, to get it from the UK. As for its value to me - it has been a major stimulant. Not only does it have lots of ideas and techniques with loads of pictures and examples, but it gets you thinking in a certain way. It makes you more independent, so you're not relying solely on the kit's contents, or if you lose a part, you can often make it. Also, it gives you a basis from which to formulate your own ideas and solutions. Some of his ideas are a bit dangerous, like using those old gas fired room heaters to melt plastic card! Though, maybe I'm just nervous of fire because my head's full of straw!

Volume II takes the Jasta coverage up to 46, and the drawings cover OAW versions. As I understand it, there's a Volume 3 on the way with the rest of the Jastas and drawings specific to the Albatross-built a/c. -----Original Message----- From: wwi@wwi-models.org [mailto:wwi@wwi-models.org]On Behalf Of Bob Pearson Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2001 6:07 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: Fokker D.VII Anthology About $24 US - note that it is vol.II, not vol.I Bob ---------- >From: "Lee J.
