Isn't Superscale == Microscale? If so, odd colours and no two sheets the same in my experience. That's okay if you subscribe to the notion that batches varied, but the sheets I've seen have all been so wildly different that you could at best use one sheet on one model, then chuck the rest because you'd never find another sheet near enough to be believable as a different batch of the same stuff. Or it may not be the same stuf.... :-) Shane ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

I'm sorry to be so late on this thread, but I have to disagree with some of what was posted. The dimensioning of aircraft has been generally standardized since the beginning of the industry. The standard predates aviation. Its the same standard and nomenclature used on ships for several hundred years. Each point on the vehicle is defined by a Waterline, a Station line and a Buttock line. The waterline plane is aligned with the nominal flight axis, and not the ground sitting plane. Station zero is generally placed ahead of the most forward part of the plane so that all stations have a positive value. Waterline zero is generally placed below the lowest part of the extended landing gear. Buttock line zero is on the centerline. I have no clue as to what they did on asymmetric designs, but luckily they're not that common. The overall dimensions as given out by the engineering department were based on the above system. The discrepancies that exist in published data are a result of design changes, manufacturing tolerances and errors by well meaning researchers. Without being too dogmatic about it, I believe that every legitimate World War I aviation shop used some version of this system. Unfortunately, a lot of the original documentation didn't survive, so we modelers need to make the best of the situation.

Which language is this please? I can't really understand what you are asking. If you are serching for an Artur Salmson, I wouldn't bother. Its a bit of a dog although the metal bits are quite good. The Wings48 vac is much better. I'll probably (eventually) build the Wings kit and just use some of the Artur metal bits - the struts and engine baffle are quite good.

Ye Gods, what a mess the guy has made of this kit! He says he was ill and build was delayed but I don't think this should have been published. The work is completely amateurish. Bad paint splodges on upper wings, huge holes drilled through parts for rigging, air bubbles under decals, etc etc. I don't mean to be unkind - and I recognise the builder's name Rod Holland, as somebody whose work I've seen before. Maybe the poor guy was seriously ill - and there is nothing against beginners being pleased with achieving what they can do as they progress and gain experience. But surely in a modelling magazine, there has to be some sort of standard - and I'm afraid this is well below anything you'd strive to achieve. Don't mean to sound elitist - and god knows I make enough mistakes myself - thing is I don't want to show them to anybody - unless (like the Ruston Camel) others might benefit from a tale of woe! (My latest (a Hanriot (Scaroni)) is turning out a disaster after experimenting with automotive acrylic silver spray paint - and may end up in the bin very soon!) Anyway, I found this article quite shocking and hope that the relaunched SMI is not going to dumb-down otherwise I won't be buying many more. Anybody else see it?

The old SMI was always available in Oz, even when the others weren't. Incidentally, I have seen a number of forgettable models by the same builder - even on the *covers* of another magazine in the same stable. I suspect that the editor has to make do with what he receives to publish - and I'm loathe to be too critical since *I* don't have the balls to send a magazine photos of my work.

I wonder whether the 1/72nd scale Flashback Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutters sold well? Anyboody know? I know Flashback and Eduard have some sort of "Linkage". Personally, I've made both the single and 2-seat versions, plus I have another in the cupboard. In my view, they are the best 2-seaters available in 1/72nd scale, and they were issued at least 4 years ago - not much since in the 1/72nd scale injection mold 2-seater category.
