Message-ID: I must defend the Spad 13 here, this is the second time this week it's been picked on, last time it was the Ansaldo Balilla that was better. It's an unfair comparison the Spad was at the end of it's career, and you're all comparing it to 1918 designs, the Spad had it's peek with the Spad 7, the Spad 13 was just a "mid-life update", that just about kept the old girl on level with the latest fighters in 1918. The fighters coming into service in late 1918-1919 were much better, for instance the Spad 20 would have been a very good 2-seat fighter. /Neil C. > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Bittner [mailto:tbittners@sprintmail.com] > Sent: den 17 oktober 2001 01:08 > To: Multiple recipients of list > Subject: [WWI] HD.3 (was Re: Re: wich IM?) > > > On Tue, 16 Oct 2001 06:53:19 -0400 (EDT), dfernet0 wrote: > > > Great work.

Sorry its taken a day or two to repy - day job interfering with the real interests! Regarding the Rib-Tapes. I sprayed the wings with Hellblau enamel until I'd built up a fairly dense colour and then applied strips of black decal along spar positions. I then shot a coat of varnish and rubbed down the slight edges on the spar decals with fine Flexigrit. Then applied more black decal strip to rib positions and misted on a thin coat of Hellblau until I was satisfied with just a hint of the ribs etc showing through. This left quite realistic slightly prominent rib tapes and a hint of the underlying structure. Edging tapes, I used yet more black decal strip and lots of Microsol to ease it round the curves. Bit of a pain and one or two bits just refused to comply, but eventually after much cursing it looked about right. Some minor touching up with paint brush on the tightest curves - top of fin etc. The real one did fly but crashed after one or two flights as the pilot couldn't see how high he was on landing approach. It makes me think of an egg plane too and I must build a similar British weird subject (Maybe a Push-Proj?) to display beside it. Thanks again for all the interest and nice comments.

Outside of a respectable amount of cleanup, this looks like a fairly quick build. << I built mine years ago and it was one of the first that I did some extra work on. I added the frame for the cut outs. Other than that, it's OOB. But you have directed me to my Pegasus pile of kits and I'm looking at the Junkers D.1. I have the Rareplanes version but now maybe it's time for the Pegasus kit. But I can't put Uggie-Drive in gear yet as I have to spend 4 days out of town. But when I come back, watch out. uggie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 08:35:53 -0500 From: "Graham Hunter" To: Subject: Latest Images Message-ID: <000501c15710$a585ff00$fa0101c0@grahamh> Sandy, Pedro and Karen, Great work people :-) Good job on an interesting subject Sandy. Are you trying to catch up to Dennis's model production or what? Lately you've been quite busy. Did you take an extended leave from work? I love your Fokker D.VI Pedro, very nice work. Karen, Karen, Karen... You are a masteress of patients. That Polish Albie is great. I have never seen that fabric before very interesting and before its time (looks like its from the 70's). We have a 1/72 WWI modeller in our local IPMS and he hand paints all his work (including lozenge) but to do that psycadelic (sp) pattern by hand. Craaazy man, WOW.
