Only area in question may be the length of the landing gear. But that variance is minor. Kit also includes a separate head rest. I'll have to check how significant the engine differences were, but it looks like you could make an 11 or 16 from this kit. The engine manifolds are particularly well done on the kit. They have the correct "flattened with a twist" look to them. Pretty decent Lewis gun. Only addition I can see, would be a PE seat with perforations, as the kit's is solid. Decals look good and are in perfect register. They include airframe stenciling and strips for the strut wrappings and fuselage lacing.

It bears a strong resemblance to the Hotchkiss. The book gives this as a commonly used gun by the IRAS along with the Vickers and Danish Madsen .

In order to show results for a particular vendor, Scott Vanaken requires at least 4 responses for that vendor. I would have thought that 4 is a fairly small sample but that's Scott's business. Obviously, we can benefit here. If we all submit our honest views, we'll have a nice little "Consumers' Guide" and Scott will be pleased to do the work in collating responses, I assume. The only vendors reported thus far are the big ones - Squadron, Hannants and Great Models. I have submitted NKR Models and Squadron but I've also dealt personally with Rosemont and VAMP, so I'll be sending those too.

Tom ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 13:56:02 From: "Michael Kendix" To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Misterkit paints Message-ID: I thought I would pass on my experience thus far with using Misterkit paints. These are acrylic paints and the manufacturers have made them in WW1 colours. Matt Bittner reviewed them for Internet Modeler http://www.internetmodeler.com/2000/aug2000/new-releases/misterkit.htm and he did a few tests for masking and testing the colours etc. I have used the RFC CDL and the Italian CDL. The RFC CDL is at the very light beige end of the CDL spectrum. The Italian CDL is light but slightly more yellow, which I prefer. When I purhased it, the contents looked like Gunze-Sangyo's line in terms of consistency. the great thing about G-S is that it doesn't have lumps and sprays miraculously through an airbrush. Unfortunately, G-S is more fragile than other acrylics (and acrylics are much more fragile than enamels) and when you're dealing with multi-wing kits, this a problem. It's a problem because many prefer to paint the upper wing before putting it on and the wing is then subject to chips and scratches. The Misterkit paints seem to be as robust as Testors or Pollyscale acrylics. I made a mistake and had to strip an entire set of flying surfaces painted with RFC CDL, so I can atest to its relative robustness. I use an Thayer & Chandler airbrush and the Misterkit paint needs to be diluted more than other acrylics because it is slightly thicker. That's fine since that makes it last longer. It also doesn't seem to clog the airbrush or spatter tiny dried bits of acrylic paint when spraying, which has been a problem with certain colours in some acrylic lines. In particular, Aged White and similar colours have this tendancy to not spray as smooth as dark greens and browns. As far far as coverage, I spray thin coats and then blast the surface with a hairdryer, and I've found it needs a couple of extra coats but with acrylics that's not too big a problem. On the whole, I think they're better than Testors/Pollyscale, though I won't be giving away my Testors paints, rather they'll be used up and replaced with Misterkit.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for Agama, an enamel that also comes mixed in OT colors. While I find the colors to be well matched to the references, the odd texture, poor drying properties, and uneven glossiness is disconcerting. These paints don't seem to dry in a timely fashion, and remain "sticky" for long periods, during which they attract dust. The finish is easily damaged, too. Have I just been unfortunate in the two colors I have tried? Perhaps they were frozen or otherwise traumatised on their trip from overseas?

Brooklands - combination of aircraft and racing museum. Imperial War Museum - just look for an asylum with 15" guns. RAFM and Hannants - Hannants usually restock on Thursdays. HMS Belfast and Greenwich for naval history. I am myself thinking of going to the UK Nationals this year and spend a few days in the UK before or after, with an excursion either to Duxford, the FAA Museum or Shuttleworth.
