Just looked at the News page, and Al has uploaded some new models.
The stripped Dr.I is cool! Plus, Steve Cox's Ambulance looks really
great.
Steve! Want to give the list any hints/tips with the build? I have
one coming from Australia, and after I finish the Model T armored car
I've started, would like to work on it.

Listees,
after dealing with some WWII BfX0X Projekts I am pushed back to the one and
only theme. The 1/48 AEG G.IV arrived at last. I ordered it via Hannants and
after the usual two weeks I got it. Hannants wrote that this the the latest
production run, but, alas, wings are warped still badly. Oh, boy, how I hate
that...it will be a literal cook-up. Do you prefer yor AEG soft or hard
boiled, Sir?

Together with the AEG half a dozen of A7V's also materialized on my desk.
Three for me, three for my brother. Have to hide them. My wife fully accepts
my hobbies, but she hates AFV's.
The kits are simple, as expected. The weaponry is a little bit
over-simplified and I have to see what to do. What really puzzles me are the
FS colour codes without any written expressions. And if you try to figure it
out judging from the box top or back you will be confused to say the least.
May I ask for help?
FS 16118 should be something like Feldgrau / fieldgrey
FS 10219 dark brown???
FS 10118 ochre ???
I guess that as 10219 and 10118 are close together, so it should be in the
brown edge of the FS numeral system.
The Mephisto shown in Australia shows a fieldgray basis with dark brown and
light ochre soft overspray. It that correct..? The Emhar kit shows only a
two-tone field gray / dark brown box top and instructions.

Message-ID: <001501c26978$05c3b860$973aaf3f@22by501>
Listees:
At last weekend's RCII, the WWI group got into a discussion about fillers.
Sangeev and Greg wanted more info on the filler I use, so here goes. I use a
product called Metalset A4. This is a 2 part aluminum impregnated epoxy. It
can be purchased over the net, but in bulk. (12 Tubesets). I've used this
product since 1985, and am extremely happy with the results. It is a 2 part
epoxy, about the consistency of toothpaste out of the tube. But then you
blend it with a dampened finger,(or Q-tip,if you're PC !) with just water.
One of the drawbacks to this product is the drying time - 24 hours. It will
set up before then, but a full cure is 24 hours. Not a problem for me.(Since
I'm such a "Speedy" builder !) But there are several properties of this that
really make it worth using. First...There is NO Shrinkage ! - NONE !
Second...when it dries, it is hard enough to actually drill a tap into. But
at the same time, I wet sand it with 400 and up grit to really blend the
seam, repair, whatever. Plus you can get an extremely fine feathered edge to
any application on a model, and no problem painting over it. I always paint
with acrylics, and just fog a primer coat over the epoxy to give the next
coat something to "bite" into. Great stuff that I heartily recommend.
To get this product and more info, go to : www.smooth-on.com , and click
on adhesives. Then click on Metalset A4, the info is there on it. From what
I can see of the order form, the smallest amount that can be ordered is a
box of 12 6oz. tubesets, for $ 82.91. What I suggest, is a group order. For
12 folks that will be approximately $ 6.92 per set, which will last you
several years at least.
I normally build in 1/72,(No comments,Dame Karen !), and use a toothpick
to apply it. It goes a long way. If I can be of assistance to anyone on
this, just let me know. Until then, hope this
helps..............................Bruce

Tom!
It's "Za Boga i Cesarza", but it doesn't sound like Polish OT saying. What
emperor? It sounds like Napoleonic. Russian emperor would be "Car" (Tsar)
instead of "Cesarz" Let me know the context to get better translation.
Can be off-list, if you like.
Generally Poles had "Bog Honor Ojczyzna" (God, Honour, Fatherland) words on
the standards.
Cheers!

Jon:
I don't measure the paint & Future. Basically I mix to about the
consistancy of whole milk.
More Future increases the gloss, final hardness and leveling properties.
Less Future will help paints that don't cover well and gives a softer,
less glossy surface. The Acryl/Future mixes are pretty forgiving.
I've made some over thick and over thin mixes. These can be adjusted in
the paint cup if they are causing problems.
I use a double action Passche air brush between 15 - 20 psi. More for
thicker mixes and less for thinner.
Not much in the way of exact help, but a little fooling around will
quickly give you a feel for the stuff. One nice thing is that it is very
easy to remove if you screw it up. You should have seen the hash I made
of the Lohner fuselage the first time I painted it. A little wet
polishing with 2000 - 4000 grit will remove the paint without damaging
any surface detail.
Future/Acryl is definitely easier to damage than enamel, but the
advantages of mixing my own colors (no darn FS #s), the inexpensive
paint and Future's leveling properties, (magic), outweigh the
inconvieniences by a long shot in my book. I keep a bottle of Testors
leather, a few of the Testors small bottle metallics and a bottle of
Metalizer for painting rigging, but everything else I use is a
Future/Acryl mix. I was a die hard enamel man until I tried it and now I
won't switch back.

Steve,
Can this be hand brushed, or is it an "airbrush only" thing?

Warren:
I don't do a lot of hand brushing, especially large areas. But it can be
done. I'd advise hand brushing over a light gray primer as hand brushing
over bare plastic is pretty hard to get right even with enamels. ( OK
all you hand brushers with top dollar sable brushes can beat me with the
handles). A sprayed primer would probably work best, but that sort of
eliminates the advantages of hand brushing if you are tryig to avoid the
air brush. The old adage of many thin coats dried well in between
applies double to Future/Acryl mixes, sprayed or handbrushed.

Hi Bob;
What we've got is a huge blue between Achim Engels and Dan San Abbott and
others about Fokker streaky finishes, life, the universe and everything. It
has descended to recriminations and threats of legal action (All of which
may or may not be valid).
After reading it, it makes me glad that there is a certain amount of healthy
scepticism on this List about such topics. It also drives home a few simple
truths about the epistemological limitations of defining WW1 colours as
well.

The first link is the original debate - its about five pages long. If
nothing else its an interesting debate.

And the second link is its aftermath.

I thought that as a hobby this was all about having a good time and building
kits. But when I read that this sort of thing is going on, and I will go and
see what is being said at the Drome, it sure does put a dampner on the hobby
and does nothing to help it grow.
Cheers
