I can imagine what it is like being with botanists. I usually go on a yearly trip with some guys to look for reptiles. We risk our lives climbing rock formations and going without sleep to stay up all night in the hope of finding one more species. We made one trip where four guys slept in the car as best we could for four nights in hot Texas weather. We get really excited even if we find something we've seen many times before, but REALLY excited if it's a new species to us. Of course I never get any modelling done when I'm one of these trips or a family vacation. (But I do mentally plan out my next projects and anticipate the way I think they'll turn out when I get back and start working on them again).

Message-ID: RBII should run perfectly well on a PII300 Celeron with a VooDooII video board and as much RAM as possible. As I bought it I only had a P200MMX with a VooDoo I board and 64Mb of RAM. It was barely sufficient to run RBII on it. The advantage of the old Celerons was that one could easily overclock them due to the not present L2 cache. For joystick an MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro is highly recommended.

Message-ID: <006301c12673$30ee4260$0200a8c0@x.pl> Hi! That scheme, not original Munson's but based on, I have in colour in Czech HPM magazine (11/96). This is 3 views (left, up & down), and is in Dr.I-like olive streaky and mauve camouflage, with white (or possibly light blue) engine cowling and wheel spokes, big white 'A' on upper centerwing and black and white stripe on fuselage. Very interesting, indeed, even if not true. I wanted to use that scheme for my model before lozenge decals appeared on Polish market about year ago. If you still want that, I can make scan for you, but not earlier than in a week, simply because I don't have scanner at home.

No, not cowling!), but the upper surfaces fabric UNDER the olive streaks? OK? Is that question allowed on list? Truely, I don't wanto to ask for colour of anything on Voss Foker, but about sources of knowledge about it. To be precise: I know that many sources gives that it was blue (like underwing, but are somewhere real proofs that it was not CDL? I'm asking, because in Dr.I Monography in Polish 'Lotnictwo Wojskowe' (military aviation) magazine is quoted 56th sq pilot who said that he met 6th sept. 1917 over Houthulst forest formation of Pfalz planes and two German triplanes, one of them yellow and brown. That yellow I'wont discuss, but brown suggests that it was olive over CDL rather than over blue. What do you think?

About 100 pages of one a/c per page, with a picture, and another 50 pages, two a/c to the page, again with a picture. No colour. Hardback, about normal paperback size. A good general introduction if you have little other reference material. One of the first books I bought, in 1968 for 21 shillings Regards Steve nb =========================================== steve@oldglebe.freeserve.co.uk http://www.oldglebe.freeserve.co.uk/steveshome.html If I didn't spend so much time on line ‹‹ I'd get some models finished ================ > From: "Pedro Soares" > Reply-To: wwi@wwi-models.org > Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2001 15:49:59 -0400 (EDT) > To: Multiple recipients of list > Subject: [WWI] book > > Keneth Munson: Aircraft of World War 1 > > Is this any good? > > TIA > > ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 3619 **********************
