Of especial OT interest and not yet mentioned were a scratch-built MoS AI in 1/24 as well as a number of Steve Hustad planes, figures, and dioramas, some of which received awards. Those of us in our declining years can take solace in the fact that Bob Davies, still cranking out masterpieces, is actually 80 years old - I made him prove it, too. Tom Cleaver was in attendance, and while he was pointed out to me, I never had the opportunity to speak with him, as he seemed awfully busy... a pity. And now, the 1/48 news... you dink scalers will have to track down one of the other attendees: The good folks at Eduard promise the Camel later this year in 1/48, with the SE5a early next, and a steady trickle of OT kits, in both scales, for years to come. Bob Norgren at Sierra is nearing readiness with his Gotha G.I, and gracing his table was Dame Karen's AEG G.IV, which looks as good in real life as in the photos. Barry's Rosemont kits and bits were on hand, and he talked of re-releasing the Atlee line of 1/48 parts, as well as adding new ones. Mike West at Sierra has a very nice 1/48 resin Junkers D.I ready to go, with a Sablatnig right behind. He also mentioned working on a Gotha G.I. Our own Eric Hight at CSMs has completed and ready for release a Lohner B.I; I would already have one if the the PE wasn't slightly delayed. He has also showed resin parts that he has created for a new firm in the UK... 1/48 Rumpler C.IV. He swore me to secrecy on his upcoming projects ... actually, he swore frequently, as he was denied the opportunity to appear armed on the last several days of the show. The cool tool search confirmed what has already been said here about the PE Hold and Fold, which was demonstrated to universal acclaim. Also, Flexifile has a new liquid cement/accelerator dispenser that charmed me so much I bought two, in case I should lose one! Virginia Beach, then back to the midwest in Oklahoma City... what's wrong with you West coast types? Thanks to Karen for the pizza outing, and for the kind words directed my way from several of you.

I have omitted some introductory material, but Dr. Merrill's observations are: "Union Flags, left, right, and center.- [...] On this flag, the Saltire of St. Patrick is 'rotated' relative to the two other [crosses] in a counterclockwise direction. [...] In point of fact, the photographs of the period show a remarkable lack of uniformity in this regard. It appears that at least two of the leading manufacturers who put these markings on aircraft they built ROUTINELY, if not exclusively, rotated them CLOCKWISE. These two were Vickers and Bristol, but Short also did it on the fuselages of many 184s and others may have as well. White and Thompson didn't rotate them in either direction, but commonly rotated the entire flag so that its long axis was vertical on the rudder. Again, look at the photos, but most were clockwise so that is what we have provided, largest under wings of Vickers Gunbusses, the Short 184s, Bristol Scouts, White and Thompson, and the smallest, cw and ccw for Vickers rudders and B.E. fuselages." I don't know if Americal has accounted for the obverse/reverse theory for port and starboard, but it is evident that they noticed the various depictions almost 10 years ago, and chose to supplement our discussions with their research.

Guess I fell into the trap of taking the "accepted wisdom" as perpetrated by decal manufacturers. The Pegasus lozenge instruction sheet says "for upper surfaces a blue/grey shade was chosen, with violet/pink used for the lower surfaces. This is quite noticeable when studying Orthochromatic Photographs of the time....." Can't say that the colour difference between upper/lower rib tapes is noticeable. And Jay added: >LOL in this case I'm just parroting Mr. Dan-San, who gave me an hour-long >exposition one evening on fabric stitching and rib tapes on Fokker D.VII's. >I probably should have said that. Wouldn't dare argue with him :-) But more evidence in favour of the single colour theory. So bottom line - I'll take a look at some photos and apply Dicta Ira to come to my own conclusions! Thanks for the thoughts guys. Cheers, Nigel ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2001 17:22:22 -0500 From: "Jay M.

Some more details (I don't recall anyone posting about this yet, but was briefly unsubbed and may have missed it - if so, sorry about the blather) The Roden D.VII - mine is kit 025 What you get Two engines including two styles of exhaust Two styles of wheels Two axle wing fairings (remember that the original fairing wasn't removable, and different manufacturers designed different ways to split them) Both Spandaus and Parabellums (presumable 2 seaters coming) Three styles of propellor, and a conical spinner Detail is comprehensive and restrained. For the first time ever IIRC we have the underside of a fabric wing properly represented with slightly depressed rib stations (as opposed to DML's Dr.I where they are right but badly exagerated). Upper ribs are reasonably lightly represented. The fuselage has interior structure represented lightly on the outside. I *know* that this is now the fashion but looking through the Anthology 1 I don't see photos to justify it. Maybe the fabric sucks in in flight, but it doesn't look like that on the ground and my models tend to stay firmly on their wheels. IF you like to see the structure, it's subtle and well done, if NOT it's subtle enough to easily remove BUT you'll probably lose the cable glands around the tail which are miniscule and perfect. Cockpit interior has basic structure on the walls, not as raised but by removing the areas between the structure. This has the effect of widening the cockpit interior (thinner sidewalls) which is "a good thing" Interior includes two part stick, rudder bar, seat, compass, instrument panel and floor. It excludes pump, throttle, tacho and gun support bar which will be needed by many of us but still gives more than most in this scale. Lozenge is as described previously. Maybe the underside could be lighter, and the upper darker, but they'll do so long as you want 5 colour loz. Otherwise, it's off to A/G, Pegasus, ES or whoever. Four schemes, again as previously mentioned. Loerzers striped machine requires you to mask and paint the stripes, Goerings is the white tail, white cowl machine, Hugo Schaeffers the well known Jasta 15 machine with winged serpents. Outline accuracy is really very good. Fuselage is slightly longer than Stairs drawing, but wings,tail and fin all match closely. The markings drawings look *exactly* like Ian Stairs and the notation "Special Thanks to Albatros Publications (UK)" suggests that they did both their homework AND the 'right thing' The upper wing *appears* on the sprue to have been moulded with considerable bogus dihedral. However, it's an optical illusion. Once removed, a straight edge along the upper side shows at most a 0.5mm warp to remove. However, I detect one "error". The axle wing fairing is about 3mm (1/8") short. That doesn't sound much unless you look at it against the plans - and in this case the plans are correct when compared to the drawings. To be precise, the fairings (both) are 19.5mm long excluding the axle stubs. Fortunately the slots in them for the undercarriage struts are 16.5mm apart compared with 17mm on the drawings. This means that the legs should sit correctly but the wheels will be too close together. I know that there were field mods made to early D.VII's to enable access to the bungee cords and wonder if Roden intend to show a fairing with the ends cut back for this purpose. However, in that case surely the axles need to protrude further? It may be no big deal once built, but to me it looks as if a piece of 40 thou card will need laminating on each end of the fairing and sanding to shape. Should be a dead simple fix - and a terrific model the result FWIW Shane (seriously stressed by having to put the model on the shelf and keep working on current projects) ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

To make the Ansaldo top wing, I practice in 3 steps. First : I put on a coat of Gunze sail color on the entire wing. Second : With a very fine brush (000), I paint each green spot in a random pattern. For this, I diluted a Gunze green (I can't remember wath exact colour) in a proportion of one part paint/one part thinner (usually, my thinner is a mix of 30 % isopropyl alcohol, 70 % water and some dropplets of wetting agent). I make this to avoid a color build up. Third : I repeat second step with a red brown color. Finally, I airbrush a coat of Future to protect the paint.

Chicago *is* on the West coast. Bear with me - I'm not entirely ignorant of US geography! THIS year was the West coasts turn, but no chapter bid beefore closing. Chicago got the *West coast* turn in the absence of a genuine West coast site 2001 - West 2002 - East 2003 - Mid 2004 - West So 2004 is the next time it's the west coast turn.

Actually, Seattle did bid, but the E-board went with the most flash and the promise for the biggest profit instead of sticking to the guidelines in the constitution. In fact, the past 10 years worth of E-board in spite of their good, has spent more time turning their heads away from the constitution and doing what they wanted instead of what the members wanted. That is an entirely different issue and this is not the place for it. I just wanted to let you know that someone from the left coast did bid and why Chicago now is a west coast city.

Truly? As I understand it Seattle never bid until *after* the bids had closed, and only then *after* Chicago had offered to take on the job. Not that I'm an IPMS USA member or anything, but I do have a fair memory and a dirty big archive of emails from 2 years ago when this was *the* hot topic, and I was hoping to attend in 2001 on the coast where I'd pay least in airfares.
