The quality overall was indeed awesome, and there's something heartwarming about seeing a 40 foot table filled with our little beasts. Speaking of which, it was also an unforgettable experience meeting other list members and OT vendors; words fail me in describing Eric's ability to imbibe copious quantities of liquid refreshment and still walk, Matt's lightening quickness in hiding behind a drawing of some Frenchman when cameras appeared, and Lance's wardrobe of short pants. Stored up enough fun to last me to at least Armistice Day... Arrived home to several boxes from the US and foreign lands, among which were two of the becoming-legendary Luedemann resin kits from Germany--a Jeannin Stahltaube and an Etrich Rumpler Taube. Yes, they're in teensy scale, but they are gorgeous! So delicate and finely done; Volker's pictures in IM were good but the real thing is so much better: translucent wings and fuselage sides and seats. Not a PE part to be seen, but none needed. The instructions leave much to the imagination and good references but are probably adequate for the truly committed. The Classic Plane website http://www.classic-plane-mrr.de/index.html also lists two new kits: a Lebed XII and a Phoenix-Albatros B.I. Mr. Luedemann apparently has rather esoteric tastes but more power to him in cranking out further obscure subjects. >From VAMP, I unwrapped a 1/48 Spin Ansaldo SVA 5, the three 1/72 HR versions of the Fokker D.III, and a 1/72 RVHP Wight Quadraplane and Bregeut XVI (strange beasts, these). Has anyone checked the accuracy of the Ansaldo kit? I know these SVAs were based on the design of elegant Italian shoes, but I can't find any 1/48 scale drawings, and looking at it, it just doesn't seem right at the tail end of the fuselage. The decals are beautiful, however--being the usual lion of St. Mark banner, the Visconti viper banner, and a third one unfamiliar to me with a crowing cock superimposed on the fuselage roundel. So, the Nats are over, I'm back in my padded cell, and I have to decide which kit to start on...it's all too much!

Only found that out when unpacking the just finished aircraft at London's Southern Expo (and directly put it back to the transport box). These things hurt... But the graphics nonetheless look great - maybe they show DDN no 2? > Also, there was a discussion of the ever-discussed 425/17, and Dan-San and > the rest of the German aircraft nuts all agreed, and apparently the fabric > samples bear this out, that 425/17 left the factory in standard Fokker > streaked camo and was overpainted in red in the field, and that the streaks > could be faintly seen through the semi-transparent red. A fellow who's > building a large-scale model intends to do the full Fokker camo first, then > overpaint in red. > Little doubt about that one. 425/17 was accepted in January 18, but obviously not flown by MvR before April 18 - That would be *very* strange for a specially prepared presentation aircraft. Plus there is no doubt about the lower surfaces being blue (originally). However, another question is wether 477/17 was prepared at the factory. I think it's DSA who claims the very clean red colored aircraft seen in at least 3 photos is actually 477 and not 425. Interesting idea (but I think we discussed this already a few weeks ago)...

I know of a Pietenpol home-built (just slightly post-OT in design) that was built with one aileron one bay longer than the other because of a miscount by the builder! It passed its inspection because the inspector was not looking for something so obviously wrong and it was still flying the last I heard. Who knows, maybe the Spanish painters miscounted and you were right... I have a photo of a (ot Alert!) Harvard with the stencils applied backwards so the numbers are all reversed under one wing - build that one for a contest and see the judges' reaction. The photo wasn't printed backwards, because the serial numbers on the fuselage were right way round. A demonstrator aircraft at Oshkosh last year had the "N" in the registration painted backwards, so errors are still happening in 1:1 scale. It could be rather fun to model someone else's mistakes... Now as long as I apply mine the right way round when I finish painting my 1m=100cm scale model...

Yes, Australia has produced many fine artists but I prefer Streeton's images and style. When I was living in Coogee my common sunday afternoon jaunt was to bus into the botanic garden, wander through the NSW Art Gallery and then lie in the sun out near Lady Macquaries Chair for an hour or so and enjoy the view. Not much chance to do that in Virginia. cam ________________________________________ Get your email at http://www.prontomail.com ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 3533 **********************
