But, alas, nobody knew the FS number. So don't worry. Mix a green/brown that suits you. If you intend to use this mixture for 1/72 also, make it lighter, for 1/28 make it darker. 2) Stencils for Balkenkreuze or Eiserne Kreuze: I have tried to find some myself, looking trough the stencils which are available for AFV's, but could not find the right size. It should not be impossible to make them yourself. Ballenkreuze are straight on, so it would not be too hard to draw them on masking paper. For a Eisernes Kreuz I would sacrifice a decal and slice it on the masking paper to have a stencil for the stencil 3) CDL: Home brewed, but Gunze's Sail Colour is great (H 85). For 1/28 a little bit pale, but good for 1/48.

Just search for "Outlook Express" to find the folders. It might also be stored under "Profiles --> your user name" in case you created multiple profiles for your puter. Outlook Express folders all end with .dbx, eah folder being stored under its name with a dbx ending. I prefer Outlook because it stores everything in just one file so saving it is very easy. Also account settings etc can easily be exported and re-imported if needed. The mail folders will only rarely fit onto ordinary floppy disks. I wonder why Warrens computer dealer did not offer him to do a 1:1 hard disk content transfer to his new system?

The Wings 48 Salmson is indeed a fine kit. The white metal is first rate and will require very little prep work. The vac sheets are only a hair softer than Sierra Scale, but still way above average.

I'm sure everyone is getting pretty tired of the Albatros stuff, I know I am - but I'm not done yet. I've just finished the remaining structural elements so I MUST render out some Final images which show the whole thing.

We started building the Esci N17 today. Neat little kit, but how accurate is it? Is it worth extra detailing or is it just good enough for beginners? I also found the Airfix Dr.1 that was sold as Voss' kite - (hey the box shows it with a vegimite green cowl) plus the Albatros DVa of MvR and an "ot" Revell F4-U1 Corsair.... Looks like daddy will get back into modeling for a while ;). Funny thing is that we work with one modeling knife, a piece of sandpaper and some small clamps to keep the parts together. No tonz of high tech tools needed nor extensive research required = no pression on me to build a most accurate model but just having fun assembling a kit. That's cool, really!
