So my on going kits progress a little bit (I am not very fast and I always find something to improve).

Their WWI colors are spot on, IMNSHO, the best I've seen straight from the can. Now for the bad stuff (IMNSHO!). They take forever to dry and fully cure. It is best to wait at least 48 hours before handling and some colors take up to a week. I cannot take that kind of time to wait, given deadlines for magazine articles and commissions. They are relatively fragile (for an enamel) and rub off / scratch quite easily. You cannot sand them after they are fully cured as they will not "feather". They react poorly to lacquer based clear coats. If you apply too heavy of an initial coat while airbrushing, the paint will "bead up". They are hard to get in the US. Older paints tend to "coagulate" / "chunk up" in the can, forcing you to filter before airbrushing. Needless to say, I don't use them any longer! Of course, YMMV, and I can give you a long list of modelers that swear by them. I tend to swear at them!

I have found a clue by studying the compass on the wing in photos. In several photos, the metallic finish of the compass is clearly discernible. However, there is one aircraft, 03.44, in the Windsock Datafile, which appears to have paint in a wavy line around the sides of the compass. That convinces me that this machine would have been painted. It is also relatively dark and there is no clear evidence of staining. So this may be a good candidate for painting in grey green. As for the exact shade of grey green, would even Rembrandt or Van Gogh have been able to recall the exact shade of a colour they had not seen for more than fifty years?

So now I have one question. Does anyone of you any shot of 46.01 or 46.07. I mean DIFFERENT than those in FMP A-H Aces and A-H Army Aircraft. Those pictures show it WITHOUT the guns, but I would like to build it with them. The 46.01 was used by Roman Schmidt for his third kill. On the picture in Aces, there are no guns and the gravity tank is not installed over the wing, as was normal with this type. So the baby coffin can be installed. But I want to be sure. It is similar with 46.07. And next, do you have any shot of 46.32 from behind? Thank you very much, and hope for help. BR Marek ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Sep 2002 17:40:05 +0200 From: "Marek Mincbergr" To: =?iso-8859-2?Q?WWI_Mailing_list_-_zpr=E1vy?= Subject: New A-H 1/48 models Message-ID: <037b01c251d3$371ea620$baf35ad4@j> Hi all, yesterday evening I returned from CIAF02 (Czech International Air Fest) in Hradec Kralove. Very nice, but this is not the subject of my letter. I have bought two new kits there. They are: Lloyd C.V and Anatra DS Anasal. Fist the Lloyd C.V ser 46 It is injected model by Special Hobby. It consist of 27 injected plastic parts, 38 resin parts and 37 PE parts. It fits to drawing (A-H planes from FMP) very well, I can say perfect. Quality of all parts are similar to Berg D.I by Flashback or "new type" Eduards. Cockpit is completely equipped with some parts on sidewall. Very nice.Engine. It is something between Mercedes from Eduard and Austro Daimler. It looks more as AD than Mercedes, but work is needed. You have option between Baby coffin and gravity tank over top wing. You have to cut (split) top wing to two halves. You are instructed about this in instruction sheet. Ailerons are separated. There is problem with observer's gun. It looks more like the German Parabelium (the same is painted on the box) then like Schwarzlose. You have to buy (or make) it separately. Decals: You have option for 46.01 and 07 in overall natural (wings are from plywood!) and 04 wit top wing in autumn leaves pattern. As a bonus, you have numbers 46.37 without instructions. I pay 350 Czk for it. It means 12 USD. If you compare it with 50 GBP for Jager resin, the choice is clear. Take this on, no doubt. Now the Anatra from Omega Models. It is resin kit from 48 resin parts, 45 PE parts and 2 steel springs and 1 wire for some smaller struts and tubing. You have no instruction sheet, just a drawing with dome photos. Kit is supplied wit decals for A-H plane number 832 and Czech 11120. You can see this one in Czech technical museum in Prague. The resin parts look well. There is no cockpit at all. Work needed, but it will be nice kit, especially if there is not any other option. As I know. I haven't compared it to any external source drawing, because all I have are in 1/72. The price is 650 Czk, which is about 21 USD. Next, I have seen there new 1/48 SPAD VII produced by Special Hobby. It is not A-H, so I haven't bought it. Looks good, decals are for G. Guynemer, M. Lenoir and F.R.Calabria. Price is again 350 Czk (12 USD). I hope, these are good news.

Silly boy! These are *great* news. Now to find a mail order source for the Special Hobby line... Marek also wondered about references for the Lloyd in general, and in particular 46.01/07/32: I have several references noted in my not-so-all-inclusive index and I'll check them later today. But the main ref, I think, would be Windsock, Vol. 6, No. 1--we have here an11 page article including many good photos, GAs in the two scales, and a single color profile of 46.01. The profile shows the 'baby coffin' atop the wing. There's a rear view of .01, two engine closeups, and two cockpit closeups. Contact me off-list, Marek, for more info... BTW, the Lloyd C.V was used by the Polish Air Force as well.
