Message-ID: <F136n1PQmbpqBWNDCEc00009b4d@hotmail.com>

Howdy Gang!

I collected a 1/48 SPAD earlier this year. I do not know if it's a 7 or a 
13. Lone Star Models made it. It is of mixed resin, vac and white metal 
construction. I think it has square wing tips, but I'll have to check.

Does anyone else have any info about this? Is anyone interested in having 
this kit? It is kinda rough. The resin is pretty pitted...

Later!

Brent

Season's Greetings!

I picked my copy of the Gotha G.V up Monday. It looks really good. It is 
very tempting to just build it. The decal sheet for the night camo is HUGE! 
It takes up the whole box. I think the colors are too light, but overall I 
am happy with them. I might use a dark undercoat or dark tinted over coat.

I'll post a scan if anyone is interested

DB,

I'm glad you're back and already we're getting these "different" messages.  Where in the world did you get the exposure to relate all this "contemporary dialogue?"  Is this what "higher education" is all about nowadays? Your grades were excellent, especially if this typified your learning environment.

Mike,

    I live in Auburn, AL and I go to Auburn University.  We take offense to
excessive book learnin'.  The school is full of White Homeys (wear backwards
baseball cap or stocking cap in the summer, has the pants hanging off his
ass, listens to rap music so violent that street gangs in LA have banned
their members from listening to it, drives a huge pickup or SUV that has
really huge obnoxious speakers - all paid for by mummy and daddums, have at
least 1 facial piercing, have watched 'Boyz in the Hood' at least 50 times,
and he/she thinks that they can rap).  Confused Rich White Children
Syndrome.  Just think, if we could turn that purchasing power to the model
industry!!  I'd get my SPAD VII!!  And scale modelers don't wake me up at
3AM with thumpity-thump music going down the road.

As to RK's comment about trying to make modeling 'groovy', I remember well
the comic book ads for models.  I also remember several series of models
released with 'customized' markings for your airplane like peace symbols (on
a Bf-109??) and lowrider flame jobs for the wings of the biplanes, or
something else that was just as goofy.  I remember that stuff well.  I mean,
the Gundam kits are merchandised creatively...  I guess that we really need
is the long-awaited Lucas/Spielberg/Hanks biography of Frank Luke.  Or of
Rudi Stark, or Guynemer.  We need a WWI movie with airplanes and tanks
(throw some ships in there too) to get the youth of today to pay attention
to OT stuff.  But I digress...

                                                                    DB

Hi Brent,

I'm not interested in buying the kit, but I definitely
remember seeing a Spad VII advertised by LSM a few
years ago.  Mike West does some interesting kits, but
I sure do wish he'd upgrade his casting technology.  I
want the Sablatnig SF2/5 kit when it's finally
available.

Accent on " But didn't buy..." Guilty as charged your honour. There are kits 
available from Blue Max, Roden, Eduard, whoever, which once I would have 
bought in multiples but now don't buy at all.  Quite apart from the fact that 
I increasingly get my modelling buzz from scratchbuilding, and that my 
modelling budget gets ever tighter,  I wonder if pre-release hype is at least 
partly to blame. If the Eduard Camel EVER appears (promised for 1/2000  it is 
now nearly 1/2002 and not a whiff of it ) will my enthusiasm for it have 
ebbed away? Possibly.

cheers

Notice all the clutter lying on the ground.
Looks like they are having trouble getting this one to work ;-)

THIS is more like what I would expect an active airfield to look like. 
Unlike the pristine look of a lot of airfield photos you see.
which I always suspected was the result of an artificial orderlyness arranged for the photographers benefit.

I wonder how many other "snapshots" are gathering dust in attics.

Of particular interest is John Adams' vacform guide in PDF format.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but despite that
can somebody tell me the reason for the sort of bubbling 
(or rather inverted bubbles) when brushing or spraying on
Future/Klear. In some places it doesn't cover, and sort of
leaves a round hole, not a big problem because a second 
coat usually fixes it. But why does it happen, grease on the surface?

Thanks for the pointer Dave. It's not a particularly inspiring peice of web 
design but the content is very much "must have". I was a little concerned 
when it went down the pan so soon after first appearing and I am very pleased 
to note it's return.

here's what I know:
Dust. A physical rather than chemical contaminant...I think...Makes sense cos 
the stuff is somewhat viscous. 
otherwise:
if I caught you wrong, the 'wax/oil' from our handling the surface after we 
paint/decal adds a surface to it that doesn't like Klear and vice versa. It 
'pulls away' from those spots....like painting some caulks on house 
painting....

Thanks Ken, makes sense, I've never been tremendously careful
preparing surfaces, it's not so critical using Humbrol. But
nowadays I usually give them a wipe over with alchohol before
brushing off dust, that's probbaly saved me most of the time.

I have found that if you wash the surface (with or without detergent) and do
not dry it off properly, Klear/Future does what you have described.

I was looking through the latest Revell catalogue
and saw they have announced a Do18, so what, I hear you all say,
but I was thinking it looks very much like a Dornier Super Wal
, which gets it much closer to OT. Could any of you Golden-Age
people tell me if there is any potential for a civil conversion
to one of these? Maybe I should just wait for next years Revell
catalogue and it will be there in Lufthansa markings.
Answer off-list if you feel like it.

Another Monogram (now R-M, I think) kit that is done very well is the PBY-5.
Excellent details including the recessed panel and rivit detail. Now use
that workmanship on some OT stuff, like a Spad VII, a Nieuport seaplane, a

Ray,
   The Alkan gear and the problem of synching Lewis is described in great
detail in Harry Woodmans Early Aircraft Armament.
   I summarzied the problem earlier in this thread.  I am not sure if you
are saying the same thing, but the essence of it is that in the Lewis, the
time from trigger release to firing, is relatively very long (aka lock
time).  Therefore the variability of this time is also very high, and hence
not possible to synchronize.
   In other words, if the lock time was very small, it would be possible to
relaese the trigger just after the prop blade had passed, and the gun would
fire well before the next blade came up.

I build or want to build as many different a/c as possible. I am in the
Lance Krieg school of building, abundent details not abundent themes. The
other priority for me is Canadian piloted machines. I even plan on doing the
Fokker E.V as a Canadian subject, as referenced in the recent book Canadian
Knights of the Air. I am also debating on doing the D.VII as the one WG
Barker flew post war in a race from Toronto to NY. So what drives my
purchases is different a/c. Bring them on, bring them all on right down to
the prototypes and single contract planes....

UNH is shut down for hollidays from Dec. 24th through January 2nd. In addition
tomorrow my day is filled with Christmas parties, etc. so I do not plan on
spending much time at my desk.

The reason I tell you all this is that without access to my desktop machine 
there will be no web updates to the site. I will be able to remotely log
on to monitor the list and keep it running. Please hold all web submissions
from not until January 2nd.

Enjoy your winter solstice holliday - whatever it is you celebrate. I'll be
having myself a good Christmas!

Hi,
Tuppence more - re:wiping down with alchohol. Picked up a bottle of 94%
ethanol (and before any one -Kenneth - says anything, only with organic
orange juice...) and learned that you want to wipe down surfacesdilute a bit
if your alcy is this tuff. Damn stuff loosens enamel full strenghth! Sure
degreases though...and lay down a mist coat of Future first, building up to
athicker coat( Bob Laskidi told me that, it really helps). Another good
clean/degrease is clear bathroom spray - it's just a strong detergent - and
rinse well with a soft paintbrush and distilled water.
