I have used the divider as a cutter, sticking one point in the center of a circle and rotating around it until I cut through the material. I have used this technique with .005" plastic, so I don't think decal paper would be a problem. You just have to be careful that the divider doesn't try to open or close during the process, or you'll wind up cutting a spiral.

I've had some not bad results using off camera flash and a couple of reflectors positioned at either side of the model (Bounce the flash off one reflector and the other 'fills in' the shadows). If you have two flash guns, or an on camera flash, you can play about a bit more. Not as good as studio flash (No modelling lights for one), but you can get reasonable results. The exposure latitude of colour print film means you can afford a reasonable depth of field. Nigel, any comments ?

I am trying to build a 1/72 Renwal Aero-Skin Wright Flyer. I'm in full Uggie drive and trying to get it together for Little One to take to school tomorrow. (We will be working on not waiting until the last minute, there is much room for improvement in this department.) So I have all the parts laid out on a sheet of typing paper. Now I don't know if it was my flowing robe or wand, but the Tennax went flying, (Curses on whoever decided to sell the stuff in easily knocked over bottles.) Many parts melted into the paper. Among them the elevator frames and rudders. Nothing else major. I can make those, so out comes the sheet of Barry's generic vac wings and a little whittling later I have new control surfaces. No matter how I paint them they will look funny with the Aero-Skin wings. I had the structure drawn on the white plastic with watercolor pencil prior to painting when I picked up a piece of Aero-Skin and held it over the part. Woah! A Quick test on some scrap, and I Tennaxed the aeroskin to the plastic. Darn good match to the wings. Aero-skin is like real fine grade silkspan or heavy tissue. This had a very light fabric pattern printed on it and when liquid glued to the styrene it makes a stunning CDL. I think fine silkspan or tissue can be lightly sprayed to tone them to whatever shade of "linen" you want. When applied with liquid solvent to white styrene card with structure drawn in WC pencil. It bonds with the softened styrene and the pencil color is unaffected by the solvent. The white styrene is translucent and the structure under the tissue looks very real. This method has a lot of potential for making CDL surfaces. Photos shortly. I have a lot of little struts to cut before I get back to where I was behind at 2 hours ago. sp ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001 19:21:47 -0800 From: "Courtney Allen" To: Subject: New Windsock Mini Datefiles Message-ID: <000601c16672$2b987080$5651510c@worldnet.att.net> Just received the four new Windsock Mini Datefiles, #15 Ansaldo Baby #16 German Observer's Guns #17 DFW T28 Flea #18 Italian National Markings All very nice as usual.

This is an article titled "Hell's Angels Meet the Dawn Patrol" by no less than Harry Z. Woodman, and it appeared in the July 1973 Scale Models magazine. If anyone knows of a legal way to get this on our website, let me know. The article is subtitled "Glory Riders of the War-torn Skies of California" and is all about the filming of "Wings" in 1926, "Hell's Angels" in 1928, and the original "Dawn Patrol" in 1930 which contributed all of its filmed flying sequences to the 1938 remake with Errol Flynn and David Niven. Really cool article with lots of pictures of the real and faked planes, the pilots, the sets, drawings and a couple of color profiles of Tommy Morse planes that flew in the films, and to top it off, some 'modeling tips' in case you want to build a Travel-Air 2000 in costume as a Fokker D.VII. Ah, a lifetime of pack ratting...

(better than anything except the most expensive compasses) and at a very good price. It doesn't look like a normal compass - which is good, because it is much more rigid. It looks like this... HANDLE || || ||-------||-------------- || () SLIDING BAR | ||-------||-------------- || || | \/ BLADE POINT () is the locking wheel Use a small square of tape on the rotation point (2 - 3 layers of masking tape) to prevent it drilling a hole in the decal, and it cuts flawless roundels - down to about 5mm diameter. It may be easier for small circles to rotate the decal instead of the compass, and cut from the front of the decal to prevent rough edges. Blades are like those in snap off knives and are replaceable. I only wish they sold ones that could hold a pencil lead as well...

The Avions articles include a table listing all the SAs built, and it lists S.48-107 as SA.4s, however every other source i have seen has only 11 SA4s being built. Perhaps the difference is the result of SA2s being re-engined with the 80Hp of the SA4. Sadly the copies of Avion I have are of such a generation that aileron separation isn't visible to see if they are on the upper wing only.
