Maybe I'm not remembering well, but compared to the interior of the 1/72nd scale DH2 nacelle, it's fantastic. Perhaps it's as I though; namely, the technology he uses is much better for larger scale kits.

"The machined aluminum cowling was replicated by underpainting the metal areas black, and adding the "riffles" with a fine brush in white. This was then oversprayed with a very thin coat of SNJ aluminum, which allowed the pattern to show through the top coat." you can see the gorgeous, very subtle result at http://www.wwi-models.org/Images/Krieg/German/EIII-2.jpg and http://www.wwi-models.org/Images/Krieg/German/EIII-3.jpg this is the method that has my vote (other than using a miniature ball-peen hammer to panel-beat your own cowl from micro-thin aluminum sheet, of course :-) hth. cheers, iban. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ernest thomas" > > The idea is this.

I've never seen the real thing, of course, but in the old photos, it's not subtle at all. It stands out like an Ami winning the Tour de France four times in a row. If you print out a hard copy of my example, in black and white, and compare it to an old photo, my squiggles look nearly identical to the ones in the old photo. For whatever that's worth.

I've done some experimentation (with quickly carved wooden mock-ups) and find that any "silver" paint results in a rather toy-like appearance in such a small scale. I've tried spraying with aluminum which in fact results in an appearance which seems more like what the subject should look like. However, since I have been using aluminum for, well, aluminum, what would I use for the bare aluminum panels on this plane if I used aluminum for silver? (Everybody confused yet?). This appears to be a question related to that of "scale color" in that a "silver" and natural aluminum plane seen at a distance at which it would appear be the same size as a 1/72 model would look to be in various shades of gray (or grey). Any suggestions or comments other than that I should return to lurk mode or seek psychiatric counseling?

Two stabs, (R&L) and a single elevator. Fraught with all kinds of opportunity for misalignment. I ended up putting a two pins in the LE of the elevator and matching up each stab piece with the pin on it's side. Marking the spot for the hole was easy, Oh 'bout a drill bit width past the edge of the blue loz where it wraps around ;-). CA and brass wire in a #80hole. Elevator deflection and stab alignment was easy with the slightly flexible joints that resulted. Had to shave the root edges to get it to fit all the way on the fuselage, but that was easy and its perfectly aligned and awaiting a clumbsy hand to remedy that condition. Total time 20 min. No jigs, just judicious application of the Mk. I eyeball. In Scales larger than 1/48, I can see the value of special alignment and drilling jigs, but it's pretty rare that you need to resort to that in the smaller scales. Line it up, mark it with a pencil and drill it, will cover most situations.

He won't receive your mail. "It" does not work because he has sent a subscribe request to the list mailing address rather than the list processor. I have sent him instructions on how to subscribe, so hopefully he'll be properly subscribed in due course.
