I remember to have seen several fabric-covered aircraft with rib tapes like that. The weave is made to avoid that the threads would get undone from the pattern of the fabric, just like the tape around -for instance- a hat. Of course, the tape is much lighter than a hat tape, sort of the weave of the old white cloth adhesive tapes used on hospitals (remeber those that left you a nasty residue on the skin?) I'll check pictures later. Another possibility is that the paes would reflect the light differently (remember that the undersides of wings are illuminated by the reflex of sunlight on the ground) HTH D. >From: "Matt Bittner" >Reply-To: wwi@wwi-models.org >To: Multiple recipients of list >Subject: [WWI] MoS AC >Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2002 15:44:03 -0400 (EDT) > >I'm looking over photos of the AC, getting ready to start the >Omega kit (I promised "Mr. Omega" I would as soon as I received >it), and noticed something.

Of course, some of them perished on crashes, but I guess that it's more due to the stunt and reckless flying than for defects on the design or the powerplants. We should always have in mind that aviation in those years were quite hazardous bussiness even in the most reliable of the airplanes.

I bought some interresting kits for diorama (no planes). 1/72 MATADOR Ford Model T Hucks starter : it is a very nice kit, white metal with a length of brass wire to build the starter structure. There is no indication for color painting, but the building instruction seems to be clear. 1/72 EXOKIT Berliet CBA truck (French) : resin kit, few bubbles but sanding, fitting. At the moment, no building or 3 view drawing but only history. I have to ask for it to the manufacturer. 2 sets of wheels are provided, with or without tyres (WW2 or WW1). 1/72 ALBY Renault FT17 : Nice resin kit, no bubbles, few sanding. No indication for color painting. I also saw the boxes for the future 1/72 EDUARD release : Fokker E III and E IV. I looked at the new ARDHAN book, it is very nice, but for people who are only interested by WW1, the previous one 'L'Aviation maritime Française pendant la grande guerre' is better. I have some pictures of the unassembled kits if you want (off list).

Message-ID: <545133EB.6FA3A6F9.138E644A@aol.com> Apart from the specific datafiles, the FMP "French Aircraft of the First World War" is my primary French aircraft reference. I like it and second everything Michael said about it. "High Flew the Falcons" sounds interesting. I'll have to look it up. I'm not familiar with the Thetford & Riding book. I have the Gray & Thetford "German Aircraft of the First World War", 2nd ed., 1970. While some of the material is dated, it covers aircraft not easily found elsewhere. The "1946 scarce first edition" makes me believe it is more of an expensive collectors item that, while interesting, is probably dated for reference purposes.

N12. for their Nieuport 11 Profipack #7080. According to their directions the plane should be CDL with brown rib tapping. But their directions show that the bottum right wing should be painted entirely different from the rest of the plane! That wing should be khaki and green on top yet aluminum on bottum. Could anyone tell me if this is correct or am I reading the directions wrong? To me it seams kind of odd! Thanks, Bill A. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Early Ns have darker ribs (MS style canes ?), possibly painted black. My theory is that they appear lighter because the fabric is thicker, so less light gets through; so that the 'colour, for want of a better word, is more solid than the inter rib sections, which appear 'darker'. Does that make sense ?

Although Hendon has more WWI aircraft, Le Bourget has the best WWI air exhibit in the world. The aircraft are displayed magnificently. I also recomment the air museum in Brussels - which isless than two hours from Paris by the fast train. You can reach the museum easily by the metro from the trrain station.
