The address of the swap shop is: http://disc.server.com/Indices/90209.html By posting on the Swap Shop I recently picked up a Meikraft BE2c from a bloke in Tennessee and a Revell Sopwith Triplane from another bloke in Australia. Unfortunately the Meikraft BE2c wasn't quite what I was expecting - it is the very early version with skid undercarriage. Decals are very nice and covered three versions: RNAS red/white roundels & small Union Jack on rudder, smaller RFC roundels, and lastly no roundels but a large 'Liverpool' sign for the fuselage (the plane was 'gifted' by the city). For anyone interested in obtaining any OOP kits I have also used Kingkit in the UK: http://www.kingkit.co.uk/ They have a very large stock which turns over reasonably quickly, including old Revell, Airfix, Esci, Pegasus, Merlin, Veeday kits plus various vacform manufacturers. Kingkit is not particularly cheap but they do have a good selection. Note that their website is not updated very often so send an email for any specific wants. Yet another source of OOP kits is C A Hood & Associates in the US: http://www.cahood.com I have bought kits from them and found them easy to deal with, but they don't take credit cards.

Message-ID: <00b501c13298$3499d880$6c642241@tampabay.rr.com> Howdy all, Have just returned from 3 weeks of scraping and painting Mom's house in NY during the hottest August days on record, followed by a two week research trip off Cape Hatteras, NC, so I'm pretty much ready to get back to the list (of course) and modeling (as soon as I shake off the "dock rock"). While at sea, though, I did take the wings, elevators and rudders for 2 Eduard Roland, the Eduard 1/48th Pfalz DIII and a DIIIa, and a 1/72nd scale Eduard Fokker DrI and etched in the hinge lines in between trawls (an interesting, absorbing and very time consuming process in 10-12 foot seas! :->). Just before I left, I received the CSM Gotha in time to do a slow and thorough fondling of the parts! Eric can add my bucket of drool to the rest - can't wait to get started on that one too. And I may as well jump right back in by asking if anyone can testify to the validity (or lack thereof) of the paint scheme for the Gotha GIII depicted in the color profile in the Aircraft in Profile Series. Is the CDL upper and lower wing surfaces in the profile a likely possibility? I managed to successfully unsubscribe this time and so did not return to umpteen messages. If any burning issue or Cookup popped up in the last six weeks, perhaps a kind soul could enlighten me off list. Good to be back to the list and the modeling table!

Having many friends who work in the museum field, and having worked in it for a couple of years myself, I can say this with absolute authority: Museums are chronically short of two things at all times: 1) money, and 2) space for displays and storage. I had a good reenacting friend who was the weapons curator at The US Army's Infantry Museum at Ft. Benning, and went on to be in charge of all US Army collections. While at Benning, he told me I would not believe the three, "packed to the gills", wharehouses chocked full of stuff the public might not ever get to see for lack of room. I know this to be a fact for having been acquainted with a friend who worked at the US Army Armor and Cavalry Museum at Ft. Knox, there are many wharehouses there chock full of goodies. I got to see their restoration "in progress" of a WWI US "Liberty" truck, way cool truck! Next time you see that a/c hanging from the ceiling, and you want it down, give a thought towards dropping in that little contribution box on your way out the door. Maybe they'll use the funds to build on an addition. I do not mean this as a slam towards anyone's posting on this subject in any way. I've just seen what friends of mine have to go through when the general public "blesses them out" for not having something they are interested in on display.

I forgot to add that the very flat eletrical motors that power the tiny SONY walkmen have pentagonal coils made of narrow copper band, not round shaped wire. Unrolled, this band is very useful for modeling too, espcially for the bigger scales! Not to forget that many of the tiny electrical stuff soldered to the small boards can be used for detail work. Because Sony walkmen aren't made to last a lifetime chances are good to get one soon for canibalizing. And if the damn thing won't break by itself... well... happy canibalizing!

Diego, In most cases IIRC names were painted only on port side of fuselage. So most probably it was the same in this case. But there is no picture of starboard side of that LVG so you can't be sure about it. Painting girl names was quite common in Polish AF. Many planes carried names like Zosia, Wanda, Sasia, Ewa etc. Sometime even two names, there was Salmson with one name below pilot, and another below observer cockpit. -- Witold Kozakiewicz ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 01 Sep 2001 13:44:51 +0200 From: Didier Mario To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: New stuff Message-ID: <3B90CA33.EFCAB380@iol.it> Nigel Rayner wrote: > Congrats all round, some great new stuff posted on the site.

Warren: This is correct. I should have mentioned it when I was whinging aboutthe NASM's display and Brian Nicklas, wherever he's got to, explained it to me. One day (in my dreams) I will arrange to get a cherry picker and do some cockpit shots of the Snipe. Perhaps they can put a harness on me and dangle me from the ceiling! Michael Praying for victory in Munich today but anticipating disappointment as usual. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 01 Sep 2001 11:48:09 From: "Michael Kendix" To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: September Internet Modeler is live (and three years old) Message-ID: >From: "Bob Pearson" > >The third anniversary edition of IM is now live. Congratulations to IM and those who made stuff to go in it - excellent job as usual. How Dennis Ugulano makes a quadraplane in 15 hours: There was a Star trek episode in which Spok and a couple of others were moved into a different dimension - everyone else could hear this high pitched buzzing sound, which was them moving so quickly. They, on the other hand, could see everyone else moving imperceptibly slowly. Dennis has a machine like this into which he jumps and 15 hours is really 3 months! He has done this too many times for his own good health and consequently, even though he looks fifty-something, he was, in fact, born in 1988!

Message-ID: >From: "Ross Moorhouse" > >I was just wondering what and why people prefer one scale over another. I prefer 1/72nd scale because: 1. Saves space, although that is not the main reason. 2. I grew up in London and that was the main scale in England when I first was interested in models (circa 1970), and I'm a creature of habit. 3. My main reason - the aesthetic of small stuff (like bonsai trees etc.) - I prefer the way they look. 4. I have a cupboard full of 1/72nd scale kits and a single 1/48th scale kit (that I won in a raffle and will shortly get rid of).
