He simply doesn't care, he only cares about enjoying the kit and the building of it. If it makes him happy, that's fine with him. I was wise, for once, not to open my mouth and say somehting when he wanted todo something that went against "my grain". I think kids automatically come equipped with Dicta Ira. The rest of us lose it somewhere along the way. As to contests, I guess with me it is a moot point. The closest to me would be Lousiville, KY or two hours east of Nashville, TN. Maybe one day I'll venture over to one or the other and check out the scene. Hey! Maybe I'll find some OT friends for the list!

Don't know about the current status, but it must be over 20 years since I first read of IPMS(UK) considering changing its name to Int'l PRECISION Modelling Soc. because of the rise in use of white metal parts, metal kits, brass etch and so forth. Some loosening of the rules was done instead. In practice in our shows here, now, the models no longer need to be plastic, merely *Static* scale models, and that's what the rules say. > have been occasions when a cleanly built but not particularly > outstanding OOB > kit has won it's class while a well executed scratch build in > the same class > is not even commended. While I'd be peeved if it was my scratchbuilt model, that's okay by me with the following caveat - that the finished model which won looks better than mine - ie, better in construction and finish. How much work was involved in getting to the result *isn't* and *can't* be judged, because of the impossibility of grading the base kits (or scractch subjects) on the basis of difficulty, so along with accuracy it doesn't get judged (or isn't supposed to!) > You will understand that I am somewhat cynical (yes, > even more than usual) about the standard of judging at these > events and far less enthusiastic about competing than I used to be. I *can* understand that. In the days before our current annual show began, the predecessor had a different, closed, method of judging. However fair the judging was, no-one knew what was done or on what basis, and inevitably accusations of bias and incompetence flew which might well have been accurate. When we started the new show our "Prime Directive" for judging was "Transparency" and every decision made is made in the understanding that justice has to be seen to be done. It works for us, but then IPMS (UK) has 10 times as many models to judge in a day Shane ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

Sad to hear about the UK IPMS. Seems like they need to publish a competition handbook and get more organized if they want more folks to regard the competition as legitimate.

Ross I could have been clearer here. I'll have to edit the text. The card laid out on the drawing is both the upper and lower skin. The embossed centerline is where it folds arounf the leading edge. So the ribs are on the top and the bottom. If you want to get super fancy and dependingg on the design of the wing you are doing, you could emboss the ribs on the top surface harder making them more pronounced than the ones on the lower surface. Just start at the centerline and scribe toward the TE, one side harder than the other.

As much as i love this book I still tend to question it's accuracy simply because it is so old. But, the Hippel renderings go as far as showing the bottom side of the starboard airleron as being lozenge covered while the rest of the wing and the other airleron is light blue. When I see information this specific I tend to think they had a pretty good source. Does your photo show this odd airleron setup. If so, it's a pretty good bet that is also where they got it from. Just a guess though However, I heard back from Greg VanWyngarden over at the Aerodrome forum and he informed me that current opinion is that the arrow was black. It's realy to bad - I did a prelim rendering of it in red and it looks pretty sharp. It doesn't realy matter though, I had to redo the map anyway because some of my curves were off. In any case. If it's not to much trouble I would like to see the images you refer to.

IIRC that's what old Hansie told Peter Gray too. Allowing for the possibility he'd forgotten in the intervening 52 years it's still a moderately good argument. FWIW the profile in the 1971 article resulting from Grays research says: "Albatros D.Va Flown by Ltn H J von Hippel. Spinner and 10cm nose band red. "Blitz" motif black with white outline. Fuselage light grey. von Hippel flew another identically marked D.Va but with wings covered with lozenge pattern printed fabric." The accompanying photo is "Courtesy of H.J.von Hippel" and is signed in lower right by him. > It's realy to bad - I did a prelim rendering of it in red and > it looks pretty sharp. I have a sneaking suspicion that the red rendition with silver fuselage has been propagated by the owner of a 1:1 replica painted in that fashion, and not by any of the more reputable researchers - though I'd welcome evidence to the contrary. There's certainly photos of a replica so painted and it looks just ducky - every Hollywood producers idea of an aces aeroplane.
