Shane: This is a good point and once again I wonder what is happening in the Japanese market. You have mentioned that the Japanese kit market is huge relative to the rest of the world but how huge? If I went there, would I find every other family with a strong modelling interest? What do they like to build. Presumably FW-190's, BF-109's and Zeros judging by the pattern of releases I see.

Great site, Cookie Sewell and Steve Zaloga among other AFV modelling notables, are on the site. Washington Armor Club has a nice site as well, http://www.cs.net/panzer/index.htm include copies of their newsletter online. One had a great A7V article on the Tauro kit. See: http://www.clandavidsonusa.com/wac/panzergruppe/apr99/apr99.htm There is also http://www.amps-armor.org Which is for AMPS - The Armor Modeling and Preservation Society. Most of these articles show something on the figures used, so he should look around a bit beyond the "figure" category. Besides, there are some darn nice models!

Not to mention that doing an all-white ANYTHING is a pain in the butt - did Goering's D.VII and everytime something even hinted at touching tose white surfaces - there would be marks and fingerprints and cruddy little dust specks. You may have little idea of the amount of crap that your airbrush shoots when it sprays. You find out when doing a white paint job!! Little color crumbs hide out in the airbrush until they see white paint coming: they leap into the paint stream to be whisked onto your masterpiece. Too add 'character', a weathering wash of burnt umber and gray ink mixed with Future cuts some of the monochrome effect as does painting on the under-fabric framework.

This is for an aircraft of which I have seen one picture reproduced in Scale Models January 1979 in an article on the C1. This is a crash picture of C637/15. The caption suggests natural wood fuselage with upper surfaces (including fuselage top) in dark green/deep red-brown camouflage. The Phoenix colour scheme seems to be based on this, or maybe other earlier publications that I don't have. The Datafile does not mention this sort of scheme, only various combinations of natural wood, CDL and light grey or blue-white, or an undefined grey for camouflage. As far as I can tell from the Scale Models print, the fuselage is much like the fin/rudder in finish, so must be painted in one of the light colours. This leaves the question of the camouflage colour or colours. So I can go one of several ways. Fuselage and undersurfaces in light grey or grey blue. Fin and rudder too. Wings and top decking one or more shades of grey, or green and red-brown as in the kit instructions. Does anyone out there have an informed opinion on this? Back to my Guinness while I try to think like an orthochrome camera film Paul. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 22:05:31 +0000 From: David Fleming To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: White aeroplanes/ was: SPAD VII -JGMT v.

I'm a great fan of MK paints, mainly because of their ease of use for brush painting and the fact they offer a great range of WWI oriented paints. I have the entire WWI range, including all the newer paints. As Alberto says, they are well researched but as everyone knows there can only be approximations of the "real" colours (and as many of these were mixed by hand, I bet they varied considerably). I like most of the colours, but there are some I don't like - I still can't get used to the PC10, although others (like Steve Schofield) work with it quite happily. Also, as Alberto points out, the silbergrau is quite a bright grey and it is virtually all "grau" with the "silber" not being discernible. So some of them shall be the basis for mixing. If anyone wants to know what any of the newer paints look like, drop me a line off list for a description. BTW, I did find one additional bottle marked "Voss' Cowl." The weird thng is sometimes it comes out green, sometimes it comes out yellow.....

I ordered several of the Ardpol and AirMo two holers recently. My intent is to distribute these about the list as review samples. So, if you are thinking about buying one you might want to hold off. That is, if you are willing to build it for me instead of just collecting them! :-) I'll let you know when they arrive. Later!
