You know, all this I like, I don't like can continue and Al could just say to hell with the whole thing and then where would we be. It doesn't hurt me in any way, I just made a minor adjustment to my filter, and every thing is back the way it was prior to the [WWI] addition. Al, you done good. I like it how ever you want to list it. Thanks for hosting the list and putting up with us. I must talk to my boss. Two days off back to back and I get into all kinds of things political.

Our company used it to custom fabricate very large rubber "O" rings and, to make this quickly OT...used it to make up two rubber tires for a 3' wing span gas model Eindecker. It held up well enough to get thru a bunch of "learner' landings. For the kit request...looking for an old kit of the Airfix 1/32nd scale "Old Bill Bus." Condition is not important, just as long as it is a builder. If anybody eyes one on e-bay or wherever, would appreciate a shout...By the way, Gaston.....we have RR's in the U.S. that also go thru red signals, too. It is called Amtrack. The only difference is we have to pull them out of the swamps about once a week....Bye all....RLH ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 02 Aug 2001 20:55:59 -0400 From: RadspadMike@netscape.net To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: RE: WWI header Message-ID: <74001F47.44D8F85C.3E0364A1@netscape.net> I agree, John (there, I've irked someone who says this type of thread generates too many "I agree, ditto and me too" remarks). I'm not too sure though about the D.VII debate. Those dinky scale modelers deserve all they get - - or don't get :-)). This WWI header thing leaves me glassy eyed because when you get to linuses (a peanuts character?)et al, I don't know what anyone is talking about. Besides, I got real problems, like, is the dusty rose color paint I found at the hobbyshop today too pink for under the Stark's D.VII lozenge decal? If I experiment, I'll have to order another A-G decal set because there's not too much decal to waste. Also, I can't decide on the CSM Dornier D.I whether it should be natural metal finish as per datafile or painted gray and then "streaked" where the metal supposedly shows through the paint as per Eric's instructions. IIRC, there was a thread on this a few months ago, but accessing the archives may not be too easy right now. I messed up trying to attach the cylinders on the engine of the Blue Max Nie. 28 and the Aeroclub version doesn't seem to be anywhere near the same size. I'm still trying to figure out how to do fold the wings back on the Airfix HP 0/400 so they don't look too "contrived". I mean "real problem" stuff! I somehow suspect Allan is having the time of his life with this. . . new hardware and new software, doing what he does best, so I wouldn't worry about him closing the list down. He's got a captive audience! FWIW, Mike Kavanaugh john@huggins-leahey.com (John Huggins) wrote: >This thing is starting to sound like the D.VII debate.
