Oh I don't know. Have a look at lot 323 in the same auction (it's not OT folks) Given the supposed Australian preference for sport and leisure over any other pursuit would you expect this item to go for 1/40 as much as some dusty old medals if Aussies really didn't care? Mind you, if I could afford the medals, I'd probably collect item 341 as well!

Now I know at least one of you in listland have these decals, so please help me out here before I waste a wad of money on decals that don't have what I need. As a long term goal I have decided that I am going to model the aircraft of the top 30 aces from each air service during WWI. I am currently building the new 1/48 Eduard Nieuport 11 and am trying to identify some decals for a major French ace that flew the Nie11. Americal lists several sheets that may be appropriate such as #111, 66, 131, & 132. Would someone that has these sheets mind taking a look and letting me know which major French aces that flew the Nie11 are included on which sheet so I don't have to buy them all! Also, if you have the sheets and are not planning on modeling some of the aces I would be interested in a trade or purchasing them.

I compared the MK Chestnut Brown (CB) with the brown I have been using all these years. Looks like the one I've been using - when compared to color chips - is a bit dark. The MK CB may be just a little bit lighter, but it's very close to the color chip. So, I'm sorry about not checking all references when I made that statement.

Yesterday I received another package. 4 kits, 3 of them OT: 1 - Eduard Albatros D.Va non-profipack. I really liked it. And, if building my Profipack becomes a painful experience :-)))))), I guess I'll buy many more of these non-profi kits. But I didn't like the markings, so I'll have to look for alternatives. Veltjens blue and red plane in one of the options. 2 - Eastern Express Pfalz D.XII. 3 - Eastern Express Hansa-Brandemburg W.29. I wonder if these Eastern Express guys have ever tried to build their own kits following the instruction sheets. W.29 comes with early and late tail and rudder, and markings for two airplanes, 2292 and 2611, IIRC (BTW, none of them is the plane of the box art), but the instructions teach how to paint a Norwegian W.29 (with decal instructions! The only problem is that decals aren't there :-D). Fortunately I have the Datafile. Otherwise, I'd never know what tail and rudder I should use for each aircraft (I want to build 2611). Later, when I start it, I'll come again and ask you about colors and other important stuff. Anyway, I liked the W.29. I'll just make it without looking at the instructions :-)))))))) With best regards from Brazil Marcio Antonio Campos Redator do GuiaSP StarMedia do Brasil marcio.campos@starmedia.net http://www.guiasp.com.br http://www.guiarj.com.br http://www.nacidade.com.br ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 09:32:15 -0300 From: "dfernet0" To: Subject: RE: Maquette DH9a Message-ID: <021701c11698$2b502fc0$4640a8c0@ssp.salud.rosario.gov.ar> Thanks Michael, My friend is a very experienced modeler, but has been away from the styrene persuasion for a few years.

Thanks for the interest. The fuselage was first sprayed with Xtracolour RAF Mid Stone. I like using this brand because of it's hard *shell* when dry. Use raw umber oil colour straight from the tube and wipe it along the fuselage . Using a cloth, keep rubbing until most of it is removed. Hopefully there is just a trace left to give the impression of wood grain. If you rub off too much, just apply more and try again. I have never had the Xtracolour undercoat come off or get eaten into by the oil paint. (love that hard shell!) The more faint hearted of course, can use a waterbased undercoat, but in the past, I found this rubs off.

would not be putting a vendor at risk of loss, and we could do whatever
subjects we wanted; logos, stencils, etc.
How do we go about it?  These items are so small that 1/72 and 1/48 could be
on the same sheet.  The list members could exchange the unwanted halves with
each other.

Message-ID: Gaston, Bobs right, this is the typical outlook address book mailer. The person who sends these to our machines doesn't even know they are being sent. So the best and kindest thing to do is as Bob says send the person a quick email. Not a reply to there email and definitely not a reply with the file still embedded, to say you received an email from them and it contained a virus. Advise them to hit Norton or McAffies (sp) site for a virus scanner and cleaner. Also one of the ones that's doing the rounds this week is not in Norton's email checker list. So don't assume your attachments are clean unless you absolutely know the contents. The one that Bob is talking about didn't get detected on my machine and I'm running Norton Systemworks with a datafile that shows as up to date.
