It's very clear on a copule of pictures in the A-H book but I was getting carried away and was planning to do an entire upper wing in one go. now I'll do it right. The bottom wings are already cut and sanded. Tomorrow I'll add the tapes and scribe the undersides. And yes you're right. They look much nicer than the kit's wings. I'm still afraid of the scallops though, which I'll attempt to do only after glueing the tapes.

Warren, Thinned paint won't hold long. You can keep it for a couple of days in a small container provided you seal it sealed with an airtight cover, like shrink warp, for instance. But it won't hold long. Better to mix just for the painting session.

I know this sounds stupid because as such it would generate a huge amount of drag, but Take a look at the photo, it doesn't seem to be circular, It looks like it "clips"onto the rear cabane. Also there's some light that can be seen through the circular window and if the front end was closed this would be impossible, give the angle from which the photo as taken.... What do you think?

It's a great book but the chapters are ordered by manufacturer, which means unless you know a particular model was produced by a particular manufacturer, it's difficult to find all the stuff.

The color schemes for the C.I appear to range from CDL wings with varnished fuselage to cammo. The photo I'll scan for you it appears to be light grey or blue, there is a white background for the crosses. The other C.I's are without the turret? with the gunner/observer in the traditional position. If you'll send me an e-mail off-list I'll start taking photo's and scans of the things I have for you.

The WW I computer flying is far more fun than the super speed demons fom most of the new Flight Sims. Even a lot of the WW II is more real fun. It will be a while before I am on with 2000 Pro. I am collecting hardware and stuff to construct a new computer. I need to see if all the stuff I have learned in the past couple of years was really worth while. I certainly hope RB II 3D will operate on the newer one. The one I am using now went "argumentative" as soon as it was built, (using Win 98), and I have never found out what was wrong with the thing. I have Win Me on it now and nothing changed for the better, except, it has not gotten nasty about having four hard drives attached. I use a lot of USB and Firewire. Extra HDs are FW and I have two removable floppies on USB and my second CD R/RW. So if there are any suggestions about the planned set up. I need to know. Lee M.

I think that thing would fly right off at 80 MPH if the front end was open. Could be an extra window or small gap.

As to XP and Win2000 being the same core, be carefull on this. Win 2000 is still NT under the covers to a large extent. XP is not but is getting closer. Typically you run into problems with apps designed for client server based 2000 environments. Typically this wont affect a home user. The banking system I work on was designed for 2000 pro and server side 2000 advanced server, however the client side doesnt like XP one little bit. For home use and small business XP is fine but its not 2000.

I do have the "Color Profiles of World War I Combat Planes, which show profiles of both 64.01 and 26.17, but I don't think they will provide much information as to the interior structure. I will be glad to send a scan should you want. I do not like to send unsolicited attachments.

Usually this is boring since there are way to many smelly candles and other perfumed stuff that I usually get a headache and don't look round. For once I avoided the smelly candle wax section and I now have two new and useful tools. Plus some browny points with SWMBO. I already have an Olfa Compass Cutter for cutting circles 1 centimetre or larger. Great tool, you never have to use a decal roundel again. Anyway the drawback with the Olfa is it cuts circles from 1cm to 15cm. Great for 1/48 I guess but 1/72 roundels and other small circles can be a problem. X-Acto have a tool called a Swivel blade. It looks like a #11 handle with a tiny blade on the end in what appears to 2 or 3 mm tubing to hold it in the handle. Now you can buy the replacement blades in the tubing. I was looking at the blade and realised that the tubing could be made to fit in a normal set of compasses. Basically you take the lead out of the compass and then cut the tubing to the same size and width. This takes about 2 or 3 minutes, just make sure you have the tubing held in a small clamp and be careful. Once you have shaved the excess width off the tubing cut the tubeto the right lenght, insert the tube and blade into the compass instead of the lead. You can now cut circles down to a mm or so. Just thought I would pass this on, since its an easy and cheap way to cut circles accurately. I also found a 10 piece leather punch set, just the thing for cutting dials in instrument panels.
