(Unless the rest is hidden so well in storage area that nobody can find it). I have some further photos (of aircraft being built/in Norwegian service) which were not taken by me, so I do not want them placed on the web, but I can send them to list members who are interested. Thanks to Matt for putting up CLV photos as bait for the Nieuports/SPADs The Stair drawings can be considered fair, but either he or the ones who built the aircraft at Kjeller in Norway missed out on the shape of the wing centre section. Another good source of information is the illustrated parts list for Hannover CLV that I think is sold by the WW1 Aero organisation. > Mind you, this is just an in-the-box first impression, with comparion > to only limited reference materials, and lacking in experience of > actuallu building the kit.

I would rather be home waiting for my Hannover CLV kit to arrive from Jadar than being onboard a vessel surveying an oil field in the North Sea. It is 7C in the air and 6C in the water at the moment, not much fun to maintain in-sea equipment from small craft. Nothing OT here except for a 1/72 Broplan H.B.33 project going on in my cabin, tomorrows Super Puma might fly with the same speed as OT aircraft, but lack the flair of a real aircraft.

There is a guy here in Canada that's making wooden models from ironwood though. These are NOT detailed in any way but rather done as beautiful wood sculpture that happen to look like airplanes.

I am wondering if the Lindberg Jenny JN4 can be converted to a JN3, but have been unable to find any scale drawings of this one. I would like to do one of the red star ones used in Mexico with an extra prop carried on the side of the fuselage. and the Lindberg kit goes together nicely - check out the JNR 4D that I finished recently in my gallery images. Dave Calhoun Lee said: I think they wre in use during the "Age of the Jennies". We have a JN3 replica for the Pershing confrontation with Pancho Villa and I believe it has a "Hucks" connection.. I know for sure the JN4C has it. I can't get out during the next few days. I will take some photos later. Main thing I want to do is present the difference in the Tail Skid area. The 4C and 4D were not the same. The difference is a lot. The "Canuck" can kind of move from side to side. The 4D goes straight. The JN3 is realistically referred to as the "First U.S. Fighting Aircraft." We are replicating #53 with the Red Star on the rudder.

It's >because people are prepared to pay the high price.... market forces >and all those other Thatcherite concepts... You are right, in part. Price is determined by the simultaneous interaction of buyers and sellers. Cost is a piece of the explanation and willingness to pay also. Cost may include not only the raw material and labour but the cost of bringing the goods to market. the latter is not inconsiderable in the case of an airport concession.

To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: JN3 question Message-ID: <3CBB8B13.D7B63AA7@x25.net> Some Sources say the planes used by Pershing were Wheel control JN4's. Some of the early models, JN2, had a wierd shoulder and yoke arrangement for flying the machines and I am not sure which arrangement has been contracted for.(They had 10 JN2 aircraft in 1915.) I believe that foolishness was the JN2. There is little difference in the aircraft fro a 3 to a 4. Mostly the engine and HP..I will get a few shots of the older engine next time also. That is the main reason I believe it is a JN3 and not a 4. the difference is almost minute. Like the JN4C the Canadian engine mounts had no down thrust. They were set at zero horizontal degrees. The 4D (U.S. version)had about 6 degrees down. We do not have any plans I could get access to for model building. We have been copying real parts and even have a machine that can copy the propeller. (After the laminations are all set up.) It is a Pantograph kind of device. I do know that the JN4 had the 90 HP OX5. Earlier planes had less. It is hard to say what the real HP was on any certain plane. I will have to see what I can find out. I have permission to haunt the place but I am not an employee or Company guy. I do volunteer stuff and make my self invisible when I can. Lee M David Calhoun wrote: > > Hi Lee, > Do you have any scale drawings of the JN 3 available?

Jasta 16b is quite well documented - there was an article in an older C&C (US) on that Jasta - I think it was in vol 8, but I'm not sure about that. Anyway, there are some well documented aircraft. AFAIK, there was no unit marking (the black tail came only later, as came the blue nose), the aircraft were all rather plain with wooden fuselage and green/brown or 2 green/brown wings. Individual markings usually between cockpit and Iron Cross, mainly black and white. Markings I remember are Hansteins white bar with three black diamonds, Baiers white fuselage band and the black "K" of the Staffelfuehrer (not sure about the name - Kraemer?). However, as for Jasta 16 b, I still think there are more interesting D V/Va or Pfalz. personally, I think the D V of Geigl (with the black tailplane introduced as a unit insignia by then, and with three black bands) looks great - that one is definitely in the C&C article, and Bob also has it on his CD, IIRC.

By the time 10N had Camels, the original B Flight was long gone to other units, captivity or death.

Is this really HR Models?? Hopefully it represents a new trend in their kits because the copy I have is beautiful. The resin parts are of very fine quality, somewhat close to the level of Spin Models. Even their surface finish shows none of the orange peel effect characteristic of their other releases. It's actually smooth. The fuselage halves mate very well and the wing is straight with a fine trailing edge. Even the small parts are very well cast. The decals are very good. Their PE almost always has been good and still is. Is this REALLY HR? Todd __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
