Hi, Listees,
my Alb DII has been masked and sprayed in the 'LVG' V-pattern. For the
moment the color demarcations are still masking tape sharp. Is this correct?
The Albatros-built Albatroses shows considerable overspray, the LVG's look
pretty sharp. I would opt for a small overspray , like those 'sharp' 70/71
camo of the Luf&%$§. May I ask for opinions, please?

Unless, of course, you are in the Uk, where 'O' gauge is actually  1/43.5 scale

The practice of adding carbon black to rubber for protective purposes hadn't
yet begun at the time, so the tyres would probably have been natural rubber
- colour likely anything from offwhite to brown with black least likely. 

Thinking about my white wall bicycle tyres *many* years ago, when as a
student I lived in Toowoomba - where the soil is *RED* - it wouldn't
entirely surprise me to see natural rubber tyres stained pink, even if that
wasn't the natural colour.

FWIW

Yes Chris,
By the end of war German industry was little shrot with suply of some 
materials, including rubber so they were trying to find somethnig what 
could replace the rubber. That is the pink tires come from.
Look at my D.IIIa I finished just before X-mas

Personally, it depends on the scale.  In 1/72nd I usually always
mask, regardless if it was soft-edged or not.  Think about "real"
soft-edged camo, then shrink it to 1/72nd.  I really don't think
you'll see a lot of overspray in 1/72nd.

IMHO, FWIW, YMMV...

but then I pulled myself together and wrote:

I sent this last night, but I got a "Message Undeliverable" message. So,
here goes again, with apologies if you've already read it.

YIPES.  No it isn't red. It's chrome yellow--actually Gunze-Sangyo
Orange-Yellow, which was the chrome yellow color used by USN 'Tweeners.
I'll admit the photo lab went a little farther into the red spectrum in
printing the photo than is actually the case on the real model.  But
lots of us have had colors changed on our pictures -- Shane's SE 5a on
the Squadron site being one of them.

Even though the cowl is redder than the actual model, it still shows how
the white face markings can show up rather well on "chrome yellow."  And
I've noted on some photos of USN 'Tweeners, the chrome yellow wings are
about as dark as Voss' cowl.

I really haven't made up my mind, which is why I decided to portray both
options.

my Renault light tanks book has been delayed till 2nd qtr 2002 (apr-jun)

No.  The Lindberg Se5 has a heritage unto itself.  Heavy starving cow rib
detail, but generally close in scale and outline. The Revell/Monogram kit is
a reworked version of the Aurora. The RM kit features a re-tooled late style
radiator installation.  It still has the undersized vertical stabilizer of
the Aurora.  It is probably closer to 1/46 than 148, like many of the
Auroroa kits.

Was recently given a old Mattel Vac-u-form machine; in testing it out it
appears the air pump could be or was stronger 35 years ago when it was made.
Is there a way to recondition or replace the rubber gasket around the
piston?

the bad news,

That's great to hear about the Emhar A7V.  Let's hope it's
accurate. :-)

Too bad about your book.  Hopefully they won't keep pushing the

My troubles started whn my AOL browser crashed a couple of weeks ago. I 
re-loaded with AOL4 and later replaced it with AOL6. That's when I noticed 
the problem. Can anyone suggest a cure?

Terribly embarassed about this, I was hoping nobody had noticed,
but both Jan and Ken did. The truth of the matter is I carelessly read
something about "confectioner" in some sort of amazing brain convulsion
came up with chewing gum,  what they really were making was shoe-soles!
Makes more sense doesn't it, sorry!

Err. Caoutchouc? That would be rubber in French. Of which the tyres are
generally made. ;-)

Way cool!

Hannants has pictures of the new 1/48 kits by Spin
Models.  Use 'search, Spin Models, 1/48'.  The
Siemens-Schuckert DDr.I is one strange looking
aircraft.  Very fanciful boxart for an airplane that
crashed on it's maiden flight, but very beautiful. 
Czech that rigging out!  The MoS.type AI looks good
too.  And as strange as the SSW DDr.I looks, the
S.A.G.E. type 2 makes it look somewhat normal.  The
Caproni Ca.20 looks interesting.  
Unfortunately, they list them at Hannants normal high
price.  Come on Lubos and VAMP!!

I believe the term used buy many ermanic people for Chewing Gum os
Cowgummi.  I believe the real English word for that is "CUD".

So you were perhaps more close than you realized.

The word used for the little Paratroop dummies dropped by the U. S. Army
Air Corps on D-Day was, in German, Gummipuppin.  Rubber puppets.
