However Eduard C.III belongs to their initial releases and it is as easy to convert it into C.I as to build decent C.III ;o))) Artur, if you'll give up with the conversion, I would suggest you to choose C.III of 1 Eskadra Wywiadowcza in Capt. Pawluc's markings. Thit very plane was used by Pawluc to carry first mission against Bolsheviks during 1919-1920 war.

Nice to be able to talk about WW1 models with someone who share the interest. Found that my old PC is still alive, at least I can read and write Emails. Did a couple of digital snaps of the WW1 models in the competition area, is there someone interested in placing them on the net, give me a call. My favourites were a diorama of a Fokker with people demonstrating how strong a monoplane wing structure is, the large Dornier flying boat and the slightly ot Westland Wapiti without covering. Got a couple of handouts from various sales stands, got plenty of time to read them on the train due to a derailing or similar happening to another train between Birmingham and London Pegasus: 2023 AIRCO DH5 2024 SPAD VII 4012 Bristol F2b Fighter 5005 Junkers Cl.1 Blue Max: 116 Phonix D-1 117 LFG Roland D-VIb 205 American DH4 206 Avro 504K Aeroclub - soon to be released: K037 Shorts 184 K038 RAF Fe-8 (Aeroclub has a new site www.aeroclub-models.com - I haven`t visited it) Choroszy Models via Aeroclub: 041 Macchi Ni-29 042 Niuport 17bis 043 " 24 044 " 24bis 045 " 25 046 " 27 049 Albatros C.1 050 Albatros C.1a The Choroszy kits are very good, but expensive.

Returning from a longer weekend (Friday was holiday here), I have the joy of telling you that my Roden Pfalz D.IIIa is finished, and this is by far the best model I've ever built! Let me share with you a bit about my experience: Steps ahead: 1 - for the first time I used gloss varnish in the model. The overall look is much better than my previous kits, and decal silvering was reduced, although not completely eliminated. 2 - although the landing gear was a difficult thing to build, I think I did pretty well, even if it's not 100% perfect. 3 - I liked working in the interior details provided by the kit. Of course it's not so much detail, but enough to please someone like me. Steps back: 1 - I had problems with cabane struts, since I didn't use my manual drill to make a bigger hole in the fuselage (after two coats of paint and one of varnish, the holes were not so evident). I'll pay more attention next time. Completing Diego's theological theories he posted some weeks ago, I must say that I consider cabane struts as the purgatory of WWI plastic modeling. 2 - I failed to hide the line between fuselage and the cowling piece, but here I can share the guilt with Roden, since this problem was noted by some other list folks when the kit was released, as far as I remember. Anyway, a nice kit and I liked to build it. I've already bought another one, and also a Pfalz D.III, as I said some weeks ago. I can hear the choir: "Pictures! Pictures!" I've already taken pictures and they will go to photo lab tomorrow in the morning. So on Wednesday I hope to send some shots to Allan and also upload some in my web site. Next week I'll go to Rio Claro modeling contest (Adriano, you're going there too, aren't you?) and I'll take both my Fokker D.VII and the Pfalz. If we have 4 more WWI models, perhaps they can open a split category, since I'll have to enter my kits in the "1/72 - beginner - propeller" category. ---- I'm reading Osprey "German and Austrian Aircraft of World War One" and remembering the days when I thought that all WWI aircraft were the ones I saw in Red Baron II... how far I was from the truth! Well, folks, that's it! Have a nice week, you all!
