Thompson" To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: RE: Structural detail WAS: Hustads C Message-ID: In poring over a gillion D.VII photos, I did see that at least the rear fuselage tubing was sometimes visible, particularly on aircraft that looked like they had been around the block a few times. The effect was one more of greater fading and wear in the vertical tubing locations, rather than the tubing locations standing proud of the surrounding fabric. All of the fuselage texture maps I've done for those latest renderings have a slight lightening over the "tubing" to account for this. I liked the effect, but I think this one is really a matter of taste unless you have very good photographic documentation that showed whether that particular aircraft had worn in that way. Another one to think about along these lines is sagging fabric. Most D.VII's seem to have been immune to this, but I did see many where there were very obvious fabric sagging, and none in exactly the same way- although most showed it near the metal side panels. It can't really be seen, but on a couple of my D.VII's I used something called displacement maps to generate this effect. I'm working on an SE5A now, and yeesh, the side fabric on those things looks terrible. -----Original Message----- From: wwi@wwi-models.org [mailto:wwi@wwi-models.org]On Behalf Of dfernet0 Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2001 6:12 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [WWI] RE: Structural detail WAS: Hustads C Shane wrote about the Roden Fokker: > (Incidentally, not all that convinced that there should be *visible* > structural detail on the outside in this scale either, but that's just my > artistic opinion and therefore entirely discountable) I agree. No structural detail should be seen on the outside of the plane if it has been covered well and the structure isn't distorted. However I've read before that the fabric on the nieuports "sucked in" while the airplane was in flight. Would this be true ion the case of fokkers? I think that not, because it had a canvas bulkhead behind the seat and the nieuports don't. But why the fuslegae sides would "suck in" instead of "bulging out" in the airstream is a misteery to me.

That should also make it a lot easier to paint the lilac parts of the fuselage later.

Thinking back to my childhood days, when rag covered airplanes were a lot more common than today. My father had a crop dusting business and he used Steermans(sp) as the backbone of the aircraft fleet (all three planes) along with a new Pawnee. The fabric was applied with modern day materials and was very tight and structurally sound. When seen from a distance of 100 feet or more, they looked smooth, but as you got closer to them, you could see the bulkhead and stringer details on the outside. The fabric did pull into the spaces between, so the very light detail on the D.VII kits is in line. When I build one (up next after the Gotha), I will let you know how it looks.

It must be due to washing the machine repeatedly wich would have caused a fading on the covering or even to a small amount of flapping of the fabric while in flight that may have caused the varnish to chip away. > I think this one is really a matter of taste unless you have > very good photographic documentation that showed whether that particular > aircraft had worn in that way.

Message-ID: Don't forget the German pilot with the American face - really, I cannot see a German in George Peppard nor can't I see a German woman in Ursula Undress. Oh and the famous red tripe in the movie was equipped with modern instruments and a wooden instrument panel. Then the strange "triggers" they used, while the German Fokkers in fact was equipped with electrical trigger buttons. MvR disliked that modern stuff and asked to have a rifle stile trigger installed in his aircraft but I never found a source saying if this got ever realized and what aircraft was concerned. Was it for the famous red tripe or was it for his Albatros? My oldest daughter loved the Blue Max movie as she was only 3. She watched it on every day on video and was fascinated by the dogfights...

I did my own plans for the Albatros D.V and Sopwith Triplane .. in fact the Albatros is on a shelf beside me, while the Triplane is stripped of its covering and awaiting recovering some decade. The Triplane was the best flyer of all the 'Guillows' style aircraft I had. I also did plans for a 1/12 scale controline Pfalz D.III, but never got around to building it. .. wonder if I still have those.

I think you would be surprised how many Unix users and free-mail users there are on the list. Quite possible 20% of the subscribers I would estimate.
