Australian War Memorial The AWM has (as already stated a number of times) opened the new ANZAC gallery early in 2001. While quite impressive from the layout, this one has one distinct disadvantage: In order to get a good "artistic" impression, the whole gallery is *very dark* That's especially true for the place where they got their SE 5A, which is placed in a dark corner of the display. You can only see the front, and few details can be made out. On the other hand, the 2 OT tanks (an FT 17 and a Mk IV(?)) and some of the guns can be seen from all sides, but it's still to dark around them. All in all, the whole thing might be quite nice for the "standard" visitor, but is somewhat disappointing when it comes to those interested in details etc. BTW, the ot part of the galleries - also the Pcaific War Air Galleries in front of the ANZAC hall - are somewhat better then the OT gallery when it comes to lighting and access. 2. AWM Treloar Technology Center One important remark: The Treloar Center is *officially closed* for the public since ANZAC hall was opened. It is now more used as a storage and restoration facility alone. However, after 2 phone calls I got the permission to see it, and when finally there, I could not only get access to the Mezzanine floor overseeing the storage hall, but also go inside. Bad news were that a) the lighting equipment (beside the emergency light) was not working - difficult to take photos therefore b) the aicraft are all dismantled, ie wings, wheels, tailplanes etc are taken off. OT aircraft consist of the DH 9 ("PD"), an Avro 504, the Pfalz D XII and the Albatros D Va. The DH 9, the Pfalz and the ALbatros are all in an excellent condition (even though the spinner of the Albatros is missing - Shane got a story on that one), and after getting down I could close examine them (no additional fencing etc...). Superb experience, but as I already indicated, it took some effort to get the permission. ot-wise, there are some interesting Beufort relicts, the Lancaster, a Ki 43 wing and fusleage center section, a Bf 109 G fuelage and the Me 262 "black X", as well as a few more modern "burners" 3. RAAF Museum Point Cook Was only there in January, not this time. As already discussed earlier, their Farman is beautiful. Too, I got an Aussie aircraft restoration magazine on the trip which included photos of the new (replica) SE 5A and Avro 504 build for Point Cook, and they look rather nice 4. Harrry Butler Memorial in Minlaton Most difficult part was to convince my family to get there, as Minlaton basically lies in the middle of nowwhere, when it comes to the touristic attractions of Oz (even though the Yorke peninsula has some natural attractions as well). The memorial houses the *only* original Bristol M1 C still existing (according to the old Rimmell book on WW I survivors at least), and it has been converted to "near original" standard recently (the Rimmell book still claims it's in it's later status with an inline engine). The whole memorial is very nice, the M 1 a beauty (even if not completely original). Only bad point: The memorial closes at 1 pm each day, and I was there at 3:30 - still a lot could be seen through the large glass fronts of the building. However, if you're there before 1 pm, you can get direct access to the aircraft. Potos will go to Allan after the weekend 5. Ross/Smith Memorial in Adelaide As already described by Cam and Shane, this is THE (England to Australia) Vimy. It's on Adelaide airport, between the International and the Domestic Terminals (in a small building of its own). The aircraft bcan not be accessed directly. it is protected by very thick (uncoated) glass and can therefore not be seen to clearly, but it is obvioulsy in a very good condition. Lighting conditions were not very good when I was there (early in the morning, with a very low sun), but I could still take some photos of adequate clarity. Overall, I was quite impressed by the generally good status of most of the stuff that I saw (and also of the effoorts that obviously go into preserving it). Too, it should be noted that you stumble across some interesting OT artillery pieces nearly everywhere in Oz - the climate obviously helps preserving them in a good condition, as most of them are in the open on market places etc. I personally liked the rather strange looking German 25 cm Minenwerfer (a kind of mortar, I guess?) that I saw in Hahndorf - but then I maybe liked the wheat beer even better...

While the list is a great thing, meeting listees in person is just one step better (especially true for me - I guess I got no listie within a 4000 km radius). These discussions (and seeing other peoples models, like Shane's new Dr I) are always a great motivation to get back to modeling table...

I know that a lot of these guys sweated bullets over every little detail of these things, and spent hundreds of hours and many $ on them (which are both in short supply at my house). Some also tend to take the competition aspect so seriously that they won't build outside their main subjcet/era of interest for fear of not bringing home trophies.

D.II Profipack, which arrived from Hannant's yesterday (along with Aeromaster Lancaster decals! Sorry!). Decided that, as it's a D.II, it would be a shame not to do one with the radiator "ears". Have since been burning the midnight oil checking up on paint schemes, etc. A few "issues" I have, in no particular order, that I'd be mighty obliged for help with: - Rib tapes: As my D.I. said twenty some-odd summers ago, "The only dumb question is the question not asked". So, here goes. As someone who has been OT modeling since the Sixties, I'm almost embarrassed to ask this, but should the wing surfaces have rib tapes? Would these extend to the control surfaces? How about the tail? - Albatros "light" or "pea" green (the shade I ribbed you about, Bob L.): The Datafile Albatros special has no mention at all of this shade in the D.I/D.II series, or of the three-tone scheme employing it that is shown in the Eduard instructions. Has some new research revealed this scheme/color in the years since the Datafile was published? - A related question, perhaps: the instructions call for this "light green" to be used on the rudder of the machine I want to model (Hans, I believe you are modeling the same scheme). Rimell has clear-doped rudders on some D.IIs. Can't help shaking the feeling that, if Ray is right, then the Eduard folks might have mistaken a clear-doped rudder for one painted with the elusive pea green. - "Albatros metalwork green": This is another shade about which there seems to be a lot of different interpretations. Y'know, the green the Albatros series used for engine covers, struts, inspection panels, joystick, etc. NASM Albatros uses almost an FS 34097 dark green (this is close to the MisterKit "Albatros Green" I just bought, but I think that shade is supposed to be for camo schemes). Other folks use something very close to RLM02, while still others have this color as being, for all purposes, a light gray. Certainly, photos of the earlier Albatri seem to show a very light color, but then again, who can be authoritative when dealing with orthographic colors? Did this green just get darker as the war went on?
