I also saw the notice on RMS this afternoon, and promptly shot off a message to Mr. West. However, given Junkers' confusing designation scheme for his early aircraft, I think we all might be a bit confused as to which aircraft is being offered here. Is it the J.4 (more often identified as the J.1, including on the Lone Star kit) - the large biplane ground attack aircraft (but not to be confused with the J.1/E.1 experimental monoplane-hey isn't this fun?)? Or is it the J.9/D.1 monoplane fighter that also used to be available from Blue Max? My inquiry yesterday had to do with the J.4/J.1 biplane. Given the D.1 designation in West's message, I think this kit re-release is the D.1/J.9 monoplane. Lone Star produced kits for both aircraft, and both are OOP. Maybe Mike K. heard correctly, in that Mr. West isn't going to produce the J.1(J.4) biplane. However, he has gone ahead and reissued the D.1/J.9 monoplane kit. Anyway, in my message to Mr. West I asked him to clarify this. I'll let everyone know what response I receive from him tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'll take any of the these early metal aircraft - provided my financial minister can make allowances.......

One of the nicer guys I've ever met- if you watch the Wings Channel you see him in things occasionally. If you're ever stumped on an aviation question, everyone should feel free to call the NASM archives and speak to Dan or one of the other curators, I've never had a situation where they didn't stop to talk to me and are invariably helpful. -----Original Message----- From: wwi@wwi-models.org [mailto:wwi@wwi-models.org]On Behalf Of Michael Kendix Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 3:52 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [WWI] NASM Caudron G-4 update Folks: Just met up with Dan Hagerad (sp?) who is Brian Nicklas' supervisor. Naturally, I asked about progress on the Caudron G-4 restoration. He explained the follwoing things when asked: 1. It's not a full restoration, but rather a fix-up using the methods and techniques that would have been used around the time it was in operation. 2. They cannot find a genuine propeller to replace the one that's bogus, so they'll make a new one using wood from where the original prop was obtained. 3. He doubts whether the turquoise paint paint found on the rigging was an original cover for the rigging. They cannot tell, however, whether it is old paint that has discoloured or something applied after the aeroplane was no longer in use. 4. The work on the engines has made them look like real works of art.

I'm not complaining, I like hard work if it's in the garden! We also had a trip to the far north with a group of botanists, now there's a real crowd of lunatics, we happily risked our lives climbing sheer cliffs for the sake of a plant, not to speak of nearly freezing to death in a snow storm, and all this to see a plant that we have in our garden anyway. We saw 123 new plants (for us) and 5 new birds so we were well satisfied. On the modelling side, I did get started again last week when it rained. I finished the cockpits of both the Spad 12 and Sopwith Schneider racer. Then I reskinned the Sopwith wings and tails, partly to get rid of the ailerons, also to get a nicer surface and thinner wings. I sanded them down hard, scored the new rib detail on thin plasticard, and glued it on with CA, for once it went like a dream. Since then I've been tidying up the underneaths. /Neil C nb.

Bonjour Neil! Last weekend there was the same thread, but anyway I can mention a method or two: 1.- with the edge of a sharp blade, roll the tube to and fro until it leaves a mark, then you can carefully bend it until the tube breaks in. 2.- To avoid messing up the orifice (to write this without including a joke I had to put my head under the cold water tap) experienced modelers insert a wire inside the tube so it won't be crushed. Cleaning up the cut after the procedure is mandatory, be that with a file or sandpaper. I've chucked sections of syringe needles in the trusty ersatz-dremel I own and wiped the tube over a file. It works OK. regards D. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2001 08:10:20 -0300 From: "dfernet0" To: Subject: RE: Saying it again Message-ID: <01ed01c12644$09adc7e0$4640a8c0@ssp.salud.rosario.gov.ar> Neil wrote: >, now there's a real > crowd of lunatics So? you mean that we are a virtual crowd or what? ;-) > We saw 123 new plants (for us) and 5 new birds so we were > well satisfied.
