I have the same issue with my 1/72 models. They are the "quickies" I work on while I am building my "real" models in 1/48. Oddly the dinky ones are all that I have been completing lately. One of these days I'll finish one of my 1/72 models to the standards of my 1/48 aircraft. It looks like the DH-2 or the W.12 will be in this catagory. Hopefully I can edge Matt out one of these days :-)
I need more modeling time! I still haven't worked on any models since returning from the Nats! Arrg!
Later!

No, they had Austro-Hungarian with the German aeroplanes. Remember the
Hansa-Brandenburg D.I from Curtis?

Just came across the following on the Nieuport "jokeup" pages:
""Hans,
Did Eduard give you any idea of when the 1/72 Nieuport you
previewed in the
Nieuport cookup will be available?"
That ought to get his tongue hanging out."
I think it's funny that the Eduard rep was at the Nats, which
really put the joke back on ya'll. ;-)

Whoops. However, didn't they call the split "German"? Or did
they actually call it "Axis"? Now I can't remember...

Right. It was focused on German stuff. He set the talk in the context of
"Heraldry" and the idea that the designs on German aeroplanes were a
continuation of the heraldic tradition of using emblems and such in battle.
It was also pitched at a fairly fundamental level, which was good because I
would've been lost otherwise. Unfortunately, I missed some of the talk. I
had flown in at noon in from DC and then eaten a large lunch with Matt and
his friends, and these combined to make me fall asleep for part of the talk.
I enjoyed it though - both the sleep and the talk:).

Can't recall but it was complicated by the inclusion of things such as VVS
and Japansese WW2 biplanes both of which were in the "Allied" category.

IIRC this all started during an AIM chat when Mistress Lorna asked in good
faith when we might start a Nieuport Cookup. (S&L have generously taken over
maintenance of the cookup pages).
Filterering through my evily twisted brain, the idea came back as something
like, "Lets tell Matt we had a Nieuport Cookup while he was away". Next
thing you know Diego had volunteered to do a title drawing, I said I'd start
the page and contact the List, S&L were going to post it.
Y'all know the rest.
Welcome back Matt, we sure did miss you while you were away, but that's not
to say we didn't have some fun with you at the same time. ;-)

Then E showed up and Bill Bacon and Rick Ewing started their buying spree on
Glen Merrill's Box of A/G decals. It was a grand finale to a great time.
Prospects look dim for attending this time, but hope springs eternal I say
as I'm about to go down to the store and put a five spot on the Lotto ;-)

I bought the latter at a local meeting. It was
warped from being in storage with the bloke I
bought it off but straightened ok. It is ok, the
resin struts and undercarraige are too thin, but
can be used as blanks, IIRC it matched the
datafile drawings closely. The engine is real
nice too. There are no roundals with the kit and
there is the detail moulded in the interior of
the metal/plywood? internal cockpit structure of
the DH5. I left it there, but if you wanted ot
build up a more details cockpit you would have to
remove it.
Any problems I have had with the kit have been my
fault and from being inexperienced in using
resin. It has also had some "stoppages" and
"waits", during which I improved as a modeller
which makes me less inclined to return to it. The
Sopwith Camel I was doing faced the same problem
and got broken up. The DH5 because it is a DH5
will be spared that fate.
How much is the Czech Master DH5 going for new?

Actually, most of my trips up to Glen's table was with Bill's checkbook.
At each break he sent Pat and I back there to pickup more decals that he had
seen in my stash. Love spending another guy's money! Sure won't be the same
without Bill there this go around.
Greg's talk sounds like the one he gave in Arizona a few years back. I'm
sure it has been updated quite a bit. It was extremely interesting then and
would have enjoyed listening to it again.

Message-ID: <74.d10f839.2880ce2d@aol.com>
I know some of you out there like the R/C stuff and I found a couple of
full size plans that are available.
"Flying Scale Models," March/April 2001, has a Nieuport 28 for a geared
400 size electric motor. Articles include scale drawings and color schemes.
Designed by Peter Rake, who seems to be doing a lot of OT stuff. It doesn't
say, but I think the wingspan is about 33 inches.
Want one of these, Alan?
"Aviation Modeller International," June 2001, has a full scale plan for
the Fokker D.II also by Peter Rake. It has a 37.375 inch (950mm) wingspan
for a 400 size electric motor.
Both of these planes look really good in the photos, and are probably
pretty impressive in the air. I have both magazines here if you don't have
them available in your area.
Allan, I thought your D.VIII looked marvelous and the "Bebe" will
compliment it nicely. I want to see both of them when you get them done.

Hi List and especially Allan: You were looking for info on Spandaus a

then try to get decent drawings, using the large scale Williams kits to
get measurements and details might be better...all this with the thought
I had one I could send you to borrow...sadly checking my stash I have
Parabellums, Lewis and Vickers but no Spandau...maybe someone else has
collected one of those that you could borrow long enough to "take the
lines off."
Old GVW is hitting this homestead tonite as we head back to Chicago

Actually Mr Rake has done a whole series of 1/9th electric OT planes. I'm
amazed that he actually has time to design, build, test fly and report on
each plane between issues.
So far I have his
Nieu 11
Sop . Pup
DH-2
Moraine type N
Nieu 28
Fokk E-III
Fokk D-II
and pre OT Ponner L1
Some day I'll stop and build
