You can e-mail them to Allan, Matt, or Mark (I think) at the addresses listed on the WWI page, and they will post the images for you. If you want quicker service, I think you have to include a credit card number (just joking). I would advise against sending them to Matt if they're 1/48, as he will just throw them out (still joking).

Several planes had leather covered and padded, "head bumpers" placed between the pilot and the ends of the receivers. Can't name one right off hand, but, I have seen them in photos Some of the late model planes had a kind of extension on the connections to the bolt but it did not help much. None of them alloed opening up the receiver and using a tool to dislodge a cartridge. like the ground gunner could. I know about doing that since I was an MG operator on the ground and I carried the tools to do it as well as the tripod to shoot from. Fortunate... Never had to use them. Kept the gun and the ammo very clean and lightly oiled.

Gun placement was a compromise and their mass location relative to the CG probably not that important. First, you typically want your guns to fire forward (prime directive for gun placement). Second, the pilot needed to be able to clear the breech. This second thing is the reason that those big gun mechanisms stuck back into the cockpits and bonked so many pilots when they crashed. You can see the flip-side of this with early Oeffag gun placements as they were placed farther forward in Albatroses than the Germans were placing their guns.

Over the last few years the amount of new manufacturers producing WW1 kits (including my company) has rapidly increased, allowing the modeller to pick and choose what kits they would prefere- which is great as far as I'm concerned, the more different companies , the more interest... and there are some great kits out there at the moment. What I'd be interested in hearing, is what mediums do you prefere and why? - injected plastic, resin, vacform or full multimedia? What about price? and how much work do you expect to do on a good kit! I'd be very interested to hear what anyones got to say on these matters Thanks Jager1 " His e-mail: info@jager.co.uk Cheers!

Don't know if they're still in bussiness. They had a Dr-I Camel and Nieu 17 all in 1/6th scale I had the Dr-I, and they tried to replicate the steel welded structure in wood. With out a firm building jig, it was damn near impossible to get the fuse to stay square. They are VERY dificult to build I'd hunt down a FLAIR kit from England, or go with Balsa usa's new line of 1/4 scale OT kits The pup flies beautifully.

Both kits include an injected molded model, beautiful resin detail set, nice PE (done for them by Eduard), good looking decals, and really nice instructions sheets in actual readable English! All for only $15.95 (us) each! The Lloyd is GREAT. It matches the GA's in Windsock Vol 6, No 1 - in fact it may be more accurate, as those GA's appear to have an erroneously shaped joint to the upper wing & ailerons. Photos and the drawing in Austro Hungarian Army Aircraft of WW I (p 498) better match the kit - or visa versa. The SPAD looks good too, but I haven't checked it with GA's yet.

Anyone know about the Proctor Enterprises wwi kits, in particular > their VK line? The differences between Proctor kits and VK kits (which they distributed) is fairly large. Both are nice but VK kits aren't nearly as detailed/large/expensive. I've built their Dr.I and it was a fairly straight-forward build. I'm assuming that you have access to a second hand kit as they aren't available any longer. > How are they for accuracy? Dimensionally the Dr.I is an accurate model. Unlike plastics, however, the rest of the accuracy is up to the modeler. > How long do they take to build? As long as you've got. You can frame one up in fairly short order but the majority of the work is still ahead. How much work that is depends on how much time and effort you want to put into finishing and detailing it. > Are the instructions any good? If you're used to modern step-by-step instruction manuals, you'll be disappointed. As I recall there were a few pages of written instructions. I'm not sure I read them :-) > Do they have the materials needed (except covering, wheels, etc.)? The VK kits are fairly complete but again, if you're used to Great Planes-type kits, you won't find some of the hardware they include. > Any problems? VK kits are well-designed but they are for experienced builders. Whether you would have problems (or not) with building one would depend on your experience. It is a nice scale airplane which means that much of the work (and where problems would arise) is in the finish/detailing and most of that is independent of the kit itself. -- Cheers --- Larry ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2002 23:23:59 -0500 From: John Huggins To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: New member Message-ID: <40694271-E63F-11D6-B3AC-0003934C8626@huggins-leahey.com> I wouldn't worry too much about the english.

The Camel is really beautiful, and is very nice to fly. The outlines are scale enough for me, which means, I haven't compared them with any available plans (thank God), but it really lookes like a Camel, not one of those stand way, way off scale kits I see advertised. Some building is involved, of course, but if you have already built a few flying models, you should have no problems. I can't really remember how long it took me to build mine, probably six months or so. The wheels are included, plus a lot of hardware, which was replaced is some cases. I have a large OS 70 on mine, which might just be a bit too big, as it still flies on idle, making it tough to land. The instructions booklet could have been better, but the plans show all you need to know. So be prepared that this isn't a one weekend project, but it is well worth it. Go ahead and get yoirself one, I think you'll like it. Chris ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 00:31:09 -0500 From: "Lee M."

That takes a special set of tools. Then miracles happen and that can be cleared in less than two minutes on the ground. Never in an airplane while you are flying it. A very clean gun and very clean Ammo helps preent it but it can still happen. Most people never heard of it but when a gun shoots 600 times a minute, or more, it can screw up really fast as well. The one that is messed up will stop and the other can continue shooting so all is not lost unless it is a Scout with only one gun. Then troubles get suddenly bigger.

They are my favourite ones. He's really a great artist. It's a pity that I usually don't buy windsock magazine. It's a great magazine but it's quite expensive in Italy and, doing make a choice, I've preferred renew my enrollment to the WW 1 aviation historians society and their marvellous quarterly magazine. By the way I'll keep my eyes fixed on the book shelfs of my favourite books shop waitinf for the next windsock magazines.
