Artur, there are quite a few good German pilot figures in 1:48--it shouldn't be too difficult to do a little surgery and remove the top of their caps, thicken up the round 'kepi' part, and lengthen the visor (bill?). Colors and details will have to come from some other, more knowledgeable, mind which I hope it does because I'd like to know the answer too.

I'm back after long weekend in Tatra mountains (Polish highest, almost 3000m a.s.l.). I'll write more little later, as I have to go to sleep after whole night spent in train, but now this: http://www.modelbud.pl/ This is oficial site of Choroszy Modelbud, I can't find prices there, but you always can e-mail them. I think that buying directly from producer will be best solution here, as Choroszy withdraws from selling his models through distributors. In case of some problems, mail me, I can simply phone Choroszy or Jacek Sznajder and ask them for something (but do not overuse my phone bill - if you can e-mail them, do it this way) Some examples from Choroszy site: Salmson: http://www.modelbud.pl/photos/a35pol.htm SVA-10 http://www.modelbud.pl/photos/a28pol.htm Friedrichshafen FF-33E http://www.modelbud.pl/photos/b30pol.htm Big Fred-o-dactyl (Friedr.

This time of the year, it's dark when I go to work, and when I get home, so it will have to be indoor. If I put on all the lights I have available on my hobby table (3x 60watt table lamps), pointed on the model from about 30cm (1 foot) will that be enough? Or should I wait for the weekend? Indoors means that I can do a slow exposure. /Neil C. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001 12:28:40 -0000 From: Tim Linnell To: Subject: Ebay alert Message-ID: <010EF7D56E81D311AF850090273C43FE033E7366@eden.recorders.eurotherm.co.uk> There's a Blue Max Nieuport Nie 11 Bebe kit currently listed on Ebay, with a 'buy now' option at 18 UK pounds.

I tried to "correct" the Americal/Gryphon roundels I added, but they came out horribly (a reason why, FWIW, I think I didn't place at the Nats this year). I need some replacement French roundel decals to put over these A/G decals to bring the model "back up to standards". Can anyone help? Has anyone printed French roundels on an ALPS using the vector option? I would like these roundels without any "pixelization" you get when you run "bitmap-oriented" graphics through the ALPS. Help! Maybe I should just try to cut some masks and spray. Now how can I cut perfect circles for the masks? Gads...if only A/G printed up their roundels in a better fashion...

I'm very glad to see your name around here again. And also have the fortune of counting Pedro Soares as one of my friends that I've never shook hands with (yet!) So, what's in the workbench? Are you building the airfix C.II or the Heller Kit? Any modifications to note?
