At the time I built the kit in March 1999, it was my first Internet Modeler piece and I'd been modeling for about 6 months. I collected all the information I could - Dave Vosburgh was a big help and it was he who sent me the Windsock piece. I even went down to the science library at the University of Maryland in College Park to photocopy the relevant pages from "SOVIET AIRCRAFT AND AVIATION 1917-1941" by Lennart Andersson. Plus the Sopwith Snipe Datafile of course. Red Stars 2 wasn't published at the time, I think.

If the A.III is like the E.III, there are two sliding doors on the side walls, and one hinged in the cockpit floor. IIRC, these are aluminum sheet, like the panel material, and are inside the cockpit. Therefore, there should be a slight recess where the doors are. On my 1/48 E.III, I cut these out, thinned the edges, and supplied doors of .010 styrene. I look forward to seeing the finished result.

I had 2 questions about the plane. 1- Just behind the observers position there are 2 tanks or compartments, flush with the top surface. Other photos suggest that the top was covered with a fabric or metal flap. My guess is that they are storage for the ammo strips or reels used on the Hotchkiss. Or is it an extra fuel tanks? 2- Behind the observers position, low on the starboard wall, is attached a device with a wire or pipe leading to it. From the outside, one can see a hole about 1-2 inch wide. The fabric around it shows signs of staining. Study of other photos suggests that this device is not always present. Can somebody identify it, or take a guess at it? This is just to satisfy my curiosity, as I really dont need to know this for my model. regards SSH ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 01 Jul 2002 18:05:53 +0000 From: "Brent Theobald" To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Kit Request Message-ID: Okay, I admit it.

Make a roll in the right dia and slice it or make a flat one and wrap it. Easy, fast and a hard surface. And it will take paint! I am doing cockpit coamings with oils and those insulation materials won't take that paint. It's like those soft plastic 1/76 figures....iiihhhgitt!

I even built some..! In those days we were happy to built anything with two wings!!! You young ungrateful people out there, you don't know what you are laughing at! . In those days we visit our plastic shop keeper daily, offered him our full respect and honour and asked with low voice if there is anything he would sell us! And we were able to built that! And nowadays? Everything below Tamigawaeduard standard is regarded as a primive neanderthal standard. Irrg! Those were the days of the *real*model builders!
