Gang,
   Basically I guess it depends of what you mean by
early or late 1918.  I believe the Roden says Summer
of 1918.  This has all red struts in the instructions.
While Bob Laskodi's Dr.1 with the blue cabine and
landing gear strut's (note the interplane struts are
red.)  are based on Rabens aircraft as of early 1918
according to the article he wrote.  
  Between you and me John, I perfer the blue struts.
 Thanks,
  Bill Anthony

Tom,
  The recipe is equal parts of Tamiya flat base,
rubbing alchol, and Future.  Granted this is sprayed,
I don't know how well it will brush paint.  
  Basically if gives you a very clear Future coat (no
gloss).  When I sprayed it, I used a little less flat
base though.  The coating does cover up minor
blemishes and will allow different layers of paint to
even out.  
  I believe Bob does not use this as his final layer
though.  You may want to add more Future later to get
the proper finish, depending on what type of finish
you desire (gloss, semi gloss, or flat).
  Hope this helps,
  Bill Anthony.  
 P.S. if you read any of Bobs articles on
modelingmadness.com he describes the method very well.
Check for example his full build article on the Spad
XIII or Nieuport 17 or 23.

I believe that Matt is right about the fuselage structure of the later Ni.
fighters (those with fuselages rounded in section).

It was obtained by adding to the "box" structure of the Ni.17 the necessary
stringers, which were fastened to suitable plywood formers applied over the
vertical fuselage members. At least, this is the arrangement which is shown
by some drawings in the original Ni.27 manual.

As for the colour of the wooden cockpit panels, I believe the tones shown by
the colour pictures of the Belgian Ni.23 are good enough for any sesquiplane
fighter by the same manufacturer.

The colour of the fuel and oil tanks should be copper. At least it was so in
many cases, regardless of the model, from the Ni10 to the Ni.27.

All the very best,

Alberto Cairati

Just to set the record straight, using Tamiya flat base/Future is not my
creation, someone else devised it. Now to answer your question! I use flat
base/Future at 30% (70% Future, 30% flat base) for a dull, dead flat finish,
and 10% flat base for a semi-gloss finish. Actually I have "pre-mixed" in
bottles 30%, 20%, 15%, 10%, and 5% flat base for use (it stores quite well
in bottles). I always thin my mix 50-50 with Polly Scale Acrylic Airbrush
Thinner for airbrushing, but if I was hand brushing I would just use the mix
"straight up" with out thinning.

Bob,
  But you are the one who probably made it popular!!
The few times I have used it, it works great!
  
 Tom,
  Actually I would forgo adding alchol if you are
brush painting.  That would probably eat into your
finish.

  Dear Friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have
not yet met. The message could be strange but reel if you pay some 
attention to it. I could have notified you about it at least for the sake of your
integrity. Please accept my sincere apologies. In bringing this message
of goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing
you any pains.
I am Ms. Sandra savimbi, daughter of the late rebel leader Jonas savimbi
of Angola who was killed on the 22nd of febuary 2002 . I managed to get
your contact details through "The World Business Journal", a journal
of the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce in South Africa in the time I
was desperately looking for a trustworthy person to assist me in this
confidential business.
my late father, Jonas savimbi was able to deposit a large sum of money
in differnt banks in europe My father is presently death and the movement
of his family members (including me) is restricted. We are forbidden
to either travel abroad or out of our localities. Presently, the 
US$25,600,000.00 twentyfive, MILLION, six HUNDRED DOLLARS my father transfered to
Netherlands is safe and is in a security firm.  I am therefore soliciting your
help tohave this money transfered into your account. before my government get
wind of this fund .You know my father was a rebel leader in Angola 
before his death My reason for doing this is because it will be difficult
for the Angolan government to trace my father's money to an individual's
account, especially when such an individual has no relationship ,I decided
to keep that money for my family use. At present the money is kept in a 
Security Company in nertherland.
I am currently and temporarily living in Angola with my husband.

 Moreover the political climatein Angola at the moment being so sensitive and unstable.
When you are ready i will give you the information needed before you can get access 
to the fund you will then proceed to Netherlands where the US$25,600,000.00 
twentyfive, MILLION, six HUNDRED DOLLARS will be given to you as payment.
Alternatively, you can have the fund transferred into any account that suits you.

and for your co-operation and partnership, we have unanimously agreed that you will
be entitled to 5.5% of the money when successfully receive it in your account.
 The nature of your business is not relevant to the successful execution of this
transaction.  kindly provide me with all your contacts addresses including your personal telephone and fax number. 
All correspondence is for the attention of my counsel:joseph edward.
 Kindly get back to us.
Sandra Savimbi.

DR. JAMES EMEKA
EMAIL:jameseme@myself.com
UNITED KINGDOM

REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction 
.This by virtue of its   Nature as being utterly confidential and 'top 
secret'. You have been recommended by an associate who assured me in 
confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of 
great magnitude involving a pending business transaction requiring 
maximum 
confidence.

 I am a Nigerian presently on attachment in United Kingdom, but at the 
same time the chairman of contract review panel who is interested in 
importation of goods into Nigeria with funds which are presently trapped 
in Nigeria. In order to commence this business we solicit your 
assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said trapped funds

The source of this fund is as follows: During the last Regime here in 
Nigeria, some Government Officials set up companies and awarded 
themselves contracts which were grossly over-invoiced in various 
ministries. 
The present Government set up a contract Review Panel and we have 
identified a lot of inflated contract funds which are presently floating in 
the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment.
 
However, by virtue of our position as civil servants and members of 
this panel, we cannot acquire this money in our names. I have therefore, 
been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues of the panel to 
look for an overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the 
sum 
of  US$21,500,000.00 (Twenty One Million, Five Hundred Thousand 
United 
.States Dollars) Hence we are writing you this letter.

We have agreed to share the money thus:
20% for the Account owner (you)
70% for us (The officials)
10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses.
 It is from the 70% that we wish to commence the importation business.
 Please, note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope to 
commence the transfer latest seven (7)banking days from the date of the 
receipt of the following information below
(a)company’s name Beneficiary of account
(b) Your Personal Tel. Number and Fax Number
(c) Bank account/Sort/ABA/Routing numbers were the funds will be 
transferred to
(d) Your Bankers Address, Telephone and Fax Number.
 The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job 
description respectively. This way we will use your company’s name to 
apply for payment and re-award the contract in your company’s name. We 
are 
looking forward to doing this business with you and solicit your 
confidentiality
 In his transaction. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter 
using the above Fax Number. I will bring you into the complete picture of 
this pending project when I have heard from you.
 Yours faithfully,
 
 DR.JAMES EMEKA

I narrowed the track just a little to try to get the wheels to sit under the
fenders.  In the front, I  removed a small section from the front axle (part
6).  In the rear, I sanded the ends of the rear axles (parts 3 and 4) where
they attached to the differential.

Matt, I did the same you did on a couple of kits before. namely the Eduard
Schneider and the Toko Snipe. I think CA works best because it'll hard to
keep the skin in place while the epoxy hardens. Be sure to spread the CA
evenly or else you'll get bumps on the new skin. Also remember you have only
one try, so work from one side of the fuselage, in a wrap around movement,
over the top and down the other side.

You probably know better, but I've been there, done that....

documentation :-)

Flight Report
Date: Saturday, June 15th. 2002
Time: 0930 hrs. GMT+4
Temp: 3ºC Sky: Clear Wind: S-SW
Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Pilot: Capitaine D. Fernetti
Observer: Sgt. W. Dueñas
Récit:
We took off early in the morning, bearing on the Afflitto Echagüe Aerodrome
and arrived destination without incidents. We were greeted warmly by Martín
and his wife Rosa, with delicious confitures and hot tea in abundance, wich
were promptly consumed due to the low temperatures outside. We exchanged
some small presents and started examination of everything: Martin's library
is awesome and has many rare aviation books, and also some FMP books, wich
are a wonderful sight (I should have bought these before!!!! Sigh!) He has
some rare bound magazines from the pre-war era with enough pictorial and
text material to write a full set of new datafiles on racers, experimentals
and anything related with early aviation in Europe. On each and every corner
and crannie of the apartment, there are kits in construction stage, neatly
decked in plastic boxes, a full portable paint workshop, and also something
that will make all listees breathless in the future.... (shhhh it's a
secret!)
I also saw Martin's 1/48 Sopwith triplane, wonderfully weathered and
arranged on a small maintenace diorama, rotary engine exposed. He promised
pictures for the gallery soon! Then Sgt. Dueñas mentioned the unmentionable,
making a comment about the 1/48 models exhibited all over the place: "So,
1/48 must be a lot easier than 1/72, right?" That phrase almost generated
iced glances and sharp comments, but good manners and sportmanship prevealed
amongst gentlemen like Martin and me, so we carried on, without further ado.
After a quick overview of materials, books, models and computer files, some
2 hours after arrival, we were literally dragged out of the apartment by
Rosa and Wanda, to get out for a shopping sortie. Martin lead us to various
hobby shops, and in one of them I was almost buried by an avalanche of kit
boxes. It was an interesting experience, but when you start to choke in
plastic, the fun gets somewhat spoiled. After that we visited a bookshop,
where I got a WW1 submarine book for cheap. Lots of crazy diorama ideas
started boiling in my mind from then on.
Finally, we were invited by the Afflittos to a wonderful lunch in a fancy
restaurant, were the local intelligentzia gather and mingle.
W. and me departed a few hours later, after having a most wonderful saturday
in campany of our list friend and his wife!
Thanks again Martin and Rosa!
D.

Was it a different aircraft or the same one (479/17) with blue struts?

Larry,
  I was just kidding!  : )
I would like to make the struts blue but wonder about
rewriting history for asthetic purposes!  
   Oh well, actually I had originally planned to do
Lothar Richtofen's Dr.1 but after a major failed
attempt at producing the Dr.1 fokker streaking, I
stripped all the paint off.  Basically I could'nt
reach well enough to paint good streaking on the lower
wing.  I realize now, that if I had painted the bottum
wing, then attached the middle wing, I would have been
able to produce the nice streaking pattern.

Everything's very nice!
I'm very impressed to see how excellent results gets Ken with his
paintbrush. The polished cowl of the triplane and the subtle change of
colour in the lattice work of the fuselage shows the touch of a master.
Changing the subject, I guess that Crisdomi Ciano's name is mispelled, and
that his true name must be Cris (standing for Cristian or Cristina?) with
Domiciano as family name.

This reminds me of the first scale model (flying, free flight model) built 
by a guy I know.  It was a Bristol Brownie and he showed up proud as could 
be.  Knowing that I'm kind of a scale nut he wanted my opinion.  Because he 
was such a nice guy I ddn't know what to say.  So, I said, "Why did you 
make the tail square?  The Brownie had a oval-shape tail."  His reply, 
"Yeah, but it seemed so hard to make it that way."  So I said, "Are you 
going to add the landing gear later?" to which he replied, "Heck no, I want 
it to fly good."  In short, everyone's got their own level of 'dicta ira' I 
guess :-)

Cheers --- Larry
