Thanks. Well, both Roll Models (http://www.rollmodels.com) and Aviation Usk (http://www.aviationusk.com) carry them, but there may be the inevitable delays. Plus I think there was some problem with Choroszy which is why Jadar "dumped" them. Matt Bittner __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

But you forgot to add the nice stories. Forward it to 5 people and you'll be able to build great OT kits. Forward it to 10 people and you'll win contests with your OT planes Forward it to 20 people and you'll become the best OT modeler in the world. Forward it to 50 people and you'll receive a message in dreams in which both Voss and MvR will tell you the truth about certain colors you've always wanted to know. Rafael Pinheiro sent this quickly to his friends and one hour later he received an e-mail from a big American hobby shop offering him USD 100 in OT kits and books. Juliano André sent this one day later to his girlfriend and in the following week Pegasus released a special kit he was looking for. Marcelo José hasn't paid attention to this message and the same night a thief entered his 20th floor apartment and stole only the kits, leaving TV, sound system and computer.

People in digest mode are subscribed to the list, they have just opted to receive mails in a big chunk, not as individual messages. Anyone can access the digests on the web, subscribed or not. So Al's option 2 would not affect digest mode subscribers (if I'm correct.....). Thus the number of listees affected would be very small, and it is a small price to pay to receive mails in digest mode (you only get between 1 and 3 per day on average, easy to delete if you're too busy with other stuff). And as they all come from the same sender, it would be easy to set up an autodelete if you wanted to "unsubscribe" virtually but still retain the right to post. So I'd go for option 2, as it is a minimal inconvenience to any listee but does remove all spam. But I am relaxed - the spam isn't a big issue.

Oh dear. I too was tempted by the same ot monoplane. I too thought a slammer, no rigging, no complex colour scheme and a pretty subject (and not too far ot). But then I tried to build it. There is a big problem with the wings - there is a split right down the middle through the corrugations for the length of the wing on both sides. And it does not fit well. This means trying to fill a major seam through a corrugated wing section. Not easy. I gave up after two evenings work. It's back in the box, never to be completed. I guess there's possible reasons for this: - I'm not a very good modeller (this thing can be built - Matt made a very nice job of it) - the OT gods were very, very angry and their wrath was horrible to behold Obviously it must be the second that happened to me :-) But I wish you luck Mark.

All I can say is WOW!!! These sets are fantastic. They are easily on par with Eduard, possibly even a little ahead. I had bought these after getting the Gotha set from Witold. They are one of the best bargains on the market today based upon what you get for your money. I have used and still use the Tom's Modelworks "generic"sets(probably the best "bargains") , but these a/c specific Part sets really take AMS-induced super detailing to a new level. The brass is really thin, but seems to be thick enough to work with. They have included some really nice touches like control horns, what appear to be louvers, access covers etc. I have just done a cursory look thru the sets. I haven't had a chance to really open them up and see just what is in them. Too much drooling!!!!!!!! Their control columns seem to be a/c specific as well. I need to check them against references to see how accu------oh hell, just build the damn thing!!!! :O>) I don't think folks would be disapointed with these sets. Let me know if you have any questions regarding the sets. No insterest in Part yada, yada, yada......

Message-ID: Hi Tom, I had steered Greg to it when he was asking about Dr.I details of the interior. I had stated to Greg; There are a couple of guys that are really into the Dr.I. Those more into the history end of it are, Alex Imrie, Dan-San Abbott, and Paul Leaman. Those into the actual aircraft structure would be Udo Jorges, Achim Engels, Langdon Badger, and Fred Murrin. I believe Langdon is presently the most active authority on the Dr.I's structure at this point in time. I apologize if I overlooked anyone. Langdon is building a full scale replica of 425/17, so he would be your man to speak to. You are welcome to contact him and use me as an introduction. His e-mail is boolcoomatta@farmwide.com.au I have some definite ideas on the layout of the fuel gauge facia, and it is similar to the one on the memorial museum Dr.I, but the top reading would only be 72 or 74 litres instead of 80. The effort by the memorial museum is the best I have seen at this time. Fred's Dr.I is excellent as well, but I believe the French Dr.I has more interior goodies, and is probably closer to original, as Fred's started life as a Redfern Dr.I. I also have to give Ross Walton's Dr.I a good mention, as he is going to put some more detail into his, and fit a Lč Rhone 120 to it. There are several projects underway that strive to be better, but we'll have to wait and see.

Equally important is the fact that the photography is first rate too! Nice large, sharp, well lit images. You can really see the details. Don't forget to click all the links like "photoscope" and "more photos" to see everything. I've been downloading all morning! Thanks again!
