<<<but the colors I have tried to mix with Future have all congealed to a
lumpy film floating
in the cup.>>>
My experience is that you can mix Tamiya paints with Future if the Tamiya
paint is a small amount (say under 10%) but you still must add an acrylic
thinner to get it to spray properly. I use this concoction for a final
"fade" coat of about 5% Tamiya paint with 95% Future and then mixed with an
equal amount of Pollys Airbrush Thinner. The big benefit here is the
translucency effect and also the durable finish that will not scratch (a BIG
problem with Tamiya paints as they are extremely fragile). However, Future
is NOT a good thinning agent for Tamiya paints as they do "congeal" when
mixed. I believe (but don't know for sure) this is because Tamiya paints are
a latex base, unlike any of the other acrylics. IMNSHO, the best thinning
agent for Tamiya paints is Gunze Sangyo Mr. Color Thinner. Yes I know that
it is a lacquer thinner but it "magically" works and produces a hard finish
that rivals enamels in durability and airbrushes exceptionally well, better
than any acrylic thinner (including Tamiya's own).
YMMV

Subject: Help with Richtofen's "unknown" DV
Message-ID: <000101c1a5dd$7c3fdc80$983bedc1@w1o0t3>

Hi all,

I'm going to be building the Eduard 1/72 Albatros DV as Richtofen's mount in
which he was shot down on July 6, 1917 (serial unknown). This is for a
(physical) club display on the battle of Cambrai, and Richtofen apparently
was flying this machine (which had been repaired by this time) as the new
Fokker DrIs had been withdrawn and he returned to using this machine.

I have the DF Special on the Flying Circus, which has a scheme and photos of
this machine at the time of the crash in July. My questions are:

- has anyone seen any photos of this machine around the time of Cambrai? I
was wondering if it had the short strengthening struts added.
- has anyone built this machine? If so, are pics on the site? I'd like to
take a look at your interpretaion of the colour scheme.

Cheers,

Nigel R

Subject: Re: Tamiya 'Acrylics' vs. 'Latex'
Message-ID: <sc516cd9.088@smtpgate.tnrcc.state.tx.us>

Just to clarify terms, 'Acrylic' is a chemical term that means a derivative of acrylic acid (2-propenoic acid).  'Latex' is a marketing term from an old tradename for raw rubber that duPont extended to all kinds of non-vulcanized elastomeric polymers and pre-polymers.  A paint can be an 'acrylic latex', as you will see written on many cans of Sears 'Weatherbeater' brand housepaints.  I am not sufficiently up on the industry to determine whether this means:

1.  An acrylic pre-polymer plastic plus a rubber (natural or synthetic) in a  soluble blend,

2.  A pre-formed acrylic-butadiene or acrylic-neoprene copolymeric blend,

or

3. An acrylic based elastomer derivative used in all acrylic paints.

What I do know is that methyl acrylate is a hard plastic - common in clear plastic decorative or 'artwork' type plastic items like paperweights and mod-look chess sets.  Methyl methacrylate is even harder.  Butyl and octyl acrylate and similar long-chain esters are used in paint formulations to allow 'breathing' (flexibility with expansion-contraction cycles of the painted surface) - but it is still a rather 'hard' film, as in the case of Future.

Different paint formulations can be built on many variations of the molecule which forms the backbone of the paint layer.   To say that one paint is an 'Acrylic' vs another being a 'Latex' really does not clarify matters.  What is obvious is that the film vehicle in Tamiya paints is not as  hard and tough as that in Testors and Ceramcoats brands, and the Tamiya paints do not appear to be very compatible with other manufacturers' formulations.

  Hey folks. I have found that you have to use Tamiya  thinner with Tamiya
paint ( almost 50/50 mix for me).  Sprays really nice, and sticks well. I
love the stuff !  I think the Tamiya web site has some info on paint.

Message-ID: <F35UL23sseOYqFlro9Z000018e4@hotmail.com>

Howdy Gang!

I picked up my copy of the Fokker D.VII from Mac today. My first impressions 
are favorable tempered with disappointment. (Note: I haven't really sat down 
to check this out yet. These impressions were made while fondling the kit in 
the car on the way back to work from lunch.)

Good: Clean molding, nice rib detail on the wings. The pe set is going to go 
a long way to spice up the interior. P/e consists of instrument panels, seat 
belts etc. Zero flash, nice resin radiator and killer lozenge decals. The 
decals are a leap forward for a kit manufacturer. I like the colors and the 
lozenged rib tapes are pre-sized in scale! No more trying to cut tiny strips 
of decal. I forgot the Jasta markings. Red and white fuselages marked with 
black stripes and chickens/falcons. Ring a bell?

Bad: Top wing still has dihedral (which is odd because the supplied drawings 
show it flat), machine guns have no detail, no rib detail on the fuselage. 
The Roden engine beats the Mac engine hands down.

Neutral: Cost - I thought it was kinda pricey at $21+ (non-Roll Models' 
price) but I figure you get a lot more than Roden and Pegasus kits. No 
lozenge supplied for the upper surface of the top wing. This is only a 
problem if you decide to build something other than the kit supplied 
schemes.

I like it better than the Roden kit so far. However, I am going to miss the 
nice fuselage detail Roden had on their D.VII. Everthing else can be 
resolved easily by parts from the spares bin.

I'll try and submit a first look review to Bob this weekend for IM. 
Hopefully he'll have time to post it.

Later!

Brent

Thanks for leting us know about this kit Brent. Hopefully Earl will get them
soon at NKR.

Interesting what you have said about the lozenge decals as I bought the
Roden D.VII for the lozenge decals. They look ok to me but then again being
colour blind I wouldnt have a clue. So will have to take your word on the
decals in the Mac one.

Hi guys,

The so called yellow scheme where used from mid 1916 until to early 1918

The five-color scheme started in October 1917.

If you have access to an old copy of Windows, there is a file called
Clouds.bmp that is blue sky & clouds. This printed up on as large a sheet of
paper as your printer will take makes a good areial background.

In your neck of the woods it probably isn't a far drive and you can get a
shot across a tree lined pasture with maybe still a two wire phone line or a
barn on the horizon. A color print of this or maybe a panoramic of two or
three shots taped together can make a realistic background for a western
front airfield scene.

Alvie,
          I am interested in possibly doing this with my laser printer.
Please let me know how it works out.

Hi Matt. Here's a tip a most noted Armor modeler and writer (SZ) passed on to 
me once. He uses scenes from old Calendars & new ones to I'm sure, some of 
his stuff makes you wonder just how the heck he does it, as they just knock 
your socks off. Heck I bet if you go to a good book store they may have 50 
different calendars, I'm sure you'll find something that strikes you as they 
usually only use their best pictures in those pages. He even adds smoke at 
time to look like fog which really adds to the effect and contributes depth 
too the scene.

Best Regards,
 Jon

Must just be the Aussies .. I got that message when it originally was sent,
and not today. .   That's what you get for trying to be in the future all
the time

I'll let you know what font I use and how it works out.  This is my primary
project for the weekend aside from painting my Albie D.II.
