Wooden panels were covered with fabric externally. I agree with Diego as far as the fabric colour is concerned: off-white will be fine in my opinion. All the very best, Alberto Casirati ------------------- Original Message ------------------------- Hello, I plan on painting the inside of my 1.72 Nieuport 11. But am wondering, what color would the fabric on the inside be for a French Nieuport 11. Would aged white be fine to represent the CDL on the inside, or if the plane was painted yellowish, would the CDL on the inside be the color too??

Marek: In Die Flugseuge der k.u.k. Luftfahrtrupe und Seeflieger 1914-1918, (ISBN 3-900310-46-7) there are a few photos of 27 series HB C.Is. 27.40, 27.77, 27.88, 27.75 & 27.24. 27.75 is the best shot, a closeup of stbd nose showing engine, cowl, U/C & radiator to good advantage. 27.24 is one of the turreted models and is shown from the port side with the wings off and the tail up on a sawhorse. The listing of the series goes: 27.01 (ex 26.71) Phonix built with DM 160 engine, 27.02-27.79 Phonix built with DM 160-185, 27.80-27.88 Phonix built with DM 185. Unfortunately no cockpit or interior shots of this series. Markings, 27.40 Black Eisern cruze on fuselage white outlined on rudder, 27.77 Wide balkan cruse on fuse. Balkan cruz on wing(not quite as wide) rudder not visible, 27.88 black eisern cruse on white square on fuselage white fin & rudder with black eisern cruz, Nothing visible on 27.75 and 27.24 has black eisern cruz on white field on fuselage side.

Another way to get the foil is to ask the manager of one of the restaurants in your area that has a good wine selection if they would throw the seals in a container instead of the trash. It would not take more than a week and you would have a good supply of foil. When you get it home, it will take a little bit of time to straighten it out, sort it by size if you want, and find a place to keep it. If you happen to have a winery in your area, you might try stopping in and asking if they would sell you a dozen or so blank seals. You never know what you may get, but the worst case would be a polite "I'm sorry, but we can't do that".

It's a > gold mine of modeling tips. No, and I thank you for that URL. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from it. But I was looking for a book, with an entire chapter on each basic subject. These are not 'tips', they would be a couple thousand words on a basic technique (eg - airbrushing, puttying, assembly). Many of these basics I know but for someone getting into this hobby, they are the meat and potatos that you guys have long time taken for granted. An old example of such a book is "How to Build Plastic Aircraft Models" by Kalmbach but it's woefully out of date. If you want to see what I'm talking about, go to the Finescale Modeler site. They present some "Example articles" in an attempt to sell their magazine to people. The vast majority of these articles are of the type I'm talking about as they're very well aware that this is what sells magazines. You'll see titles like "Basics of Brush Painting", "Easy Approach to Weathering", "Working with Enamels", "FSM's Favorite Putty" Each of these present, in a thorough fashion, these basic skills. Again, I know this stuff is too boring for seasoned modelers to want to write about them for free and then stick these articles on websites. That's why I was looking for a book.

Message-ID: <022f01c21156$526055e0$4640a8c0@ssp.salud.rosario.gov.ar> Not silly at all I applied decal tapes wrapping around the strut. If the decal is to be applied perpendicular to the strut axis, it's OK, but if you need to glue it slanted (as in the case with nieuport V strutters) it's a nightmare to keep it in the desired angle. A solution to this, AFIK is to let dry the overlong decal strip to just one side. Then fold the decal AWAY from the strut, so the segment over the opposite side of the strut has the same angle, then apply decal solution to it and once dry, trim the ends to both sides of the strut. Touch up with a little decal solution if needed. Sounds more complicated than it is D. ----- Original Message ----- From: bill anthony > A silly question, but when you use decal, do you > apply two piece, one on each side? or do you just use > one piece and wrap it around? > See, I said it was a silly question. > Thanks, > Bill Anthony > ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2002 10:55:11 EDT From: PolTexCW@aol.com To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: Lead Foil sheets?
