Volker also mentioned that WWI Aero may have published a shorter, but similar, article at some time. I have the Lone Star Model Brandenburg W.20 but no references. Available back issues of Air Enthusiast do not go back anywhere near No. 33. If WWI Aero has an article on the W.20, I have not been able to identify it from the back issue listings. If anyone having Air Enthusiast No. 33 could scan or copy the article for me, I would be very grateful. I will be glad to reimburse for any expense. If anyone can tell me which issue of WWI Aero contained the article, I will order it. I was sorry to hear that Mike West has decided to close down Lone Star Models. I have many of his kits but was hoping to acquire more. I presently have two Macchi M.5s and the Sablatnig underway. While the kits are not of the "shake and bake" variety, the subjects, especially the seaplanes, are very desirable (at least by me) and not available in 1/48 elsewhere.

I'm tempted to stop buying Eduard until they release something Allied. Then again, the plastic is strong, and the flesh weak, so that Junkers will probably make it into my hands anyway... ;-) Still haven't purchased the Fokkers, so maybe I'll make a statement with those. Yea, right. Who am I kidding. ;-) Still, I sure wish Eduard would see the light as Roden has lately (and in the future).

Another $3 or $4 brings you a better kit. Let's assume that people who buy these kits know that there is a quality gap. Sure they're all in competition to a degree, trying to find a niche, as it were. >Most models don't show up at clubs and competitions. Obviously true but not relevant unless you assume there is a difference in the distribution of kits bought compared to kits showing up in competition or at clubs. Implicitly, I'm saying what would happen if there is no difference. $20 vacs don't sell very many kits, that's why they're done as vacs - low start-up costs.

It seems they were late types, so the horseshoe rib I made is ok. (relief....) Next I went on adding the spars and rest of the structure to the centre section of the wing. At some point my mid rib popped out but I was able to put it in again and after a touch of wet and dry everything seems ok now. Only thing lacking in this area are the 4 small bracing wires that I will install at a latter stage, before covering the section with scotch tape. After a general sanding to eliminate scratches on the tor surface, it was coated with future in preparation for the rib decals. I also began to sand smooth the strip I added to narrow the cowling opening but I had to sopt since the join in one section wasn't prefect and some milliput was needed. I sanded away all rib detail on the lower wing too. That's all for the weekend. Building a good kit out of the box is great fun, but trying to improve one of these oldies is also a great Dicta Ira manifestation.

Message-ID: <004101c28983$6c932960$72fc32d2@default> Hi All; I've just finished looking at the Remembrance Day website, and a number of things struck me. Firstly, the wide range of casualties from different regiments, services, and countries. Did anyone notice the numbers of Indians killed on the 11/11/18? We often ignore the important role that Indian Regiments played in the fighting during the war. Also those from the British Honduran Contingent. I had no idea such a thing existed. The numbers dying of pneumonia and disease shows us that there were many ways to die on the Western Front, and that medicine was powerless to stop even commonplace infections from ending in fatality. November 11 was a relatively quiet morning on the Western Front but it is important to remember that some of these casualties were from other fronts too. Ray, I pay my respects to your Grandfather, my family suffered losses in both wars and I know the hole these losses leave on a family. you have my deepest sympathy. Steve, there were various reasons why 11.00am was chosen. It was symbolic but there were logistical reasons re the chain of communications why it wouldn't have been any earlier also. Many ordinary soldiers didn't know that it was to be the last day at all. At 6.00am they thought it was going to be another typical Western Front day...

Last night I was spraying my Pfalz with the silbergrau mix I am using and didn't thin the Tamiya acrylics enough that I was using. As a consequence of this I've experienced a couple of small runs and some minor pooling at the top of the fuselage aft and fore of the cockpit. My question is about I remove these runs and the pool without creating major damage to the rest of the paint job. I was thinking either fine wet and dry and a gentle sand or acetone. I want to avoid a major re-paint job as it would probably mean I have to redo the entire silbergrau. It is an individual mix and I used all I made up last night (memo to self - always mix more than you need!), so any 'topical fixes' would be appreciated. As I am currently back in Lurk and am at work where I don't receive WW1 e-mails, I'll be able to reply later when the Digest following this message comes in.

The day before masking and the day after it had been sprayed, I covered the tailplane and rudder with Future in order to protect the finish. etc etc. I gave this a day to harden prior to masking and spraying the main colour. I then covered the tail and rudder with Humbrol Maskol except where the black meets the main colour, which I masked with masking tape to get a straight edge. After giving the main colour (runs 'n all) time to dry completely, I removed the masking tape and the Maskol tonight. To my surprise, the only Future left on the rudder and tail was where the masking tape previously was. Where I had used the Maskol, I guess the Maskol had taken the Future right off. I don't understand how this could have happened. I thought Future was meant to be a very tough finish. Has anyone else had this occur to them or would like to venture why this occurred? I would be interested to know why this happened....

Go with the sandpaper, definitely; the acetone will raise hell and you'll have to sand the result anyway, with less chance of controlling the damage. And remember: thin, multiple coats are a lot easier in the long run than one thick one! But you knew that, I reckon...

Neil: I use a foam backed polishing pad from an auto paint shop. I have them in 2000 and 4000 grit. Wet sand gently and you will work down the thickness of the run and you'll be able to re-spray it without a trace.

I'd suggest masking off the areas you don't want to inadvertently sand. Then hit it with the ultra-fine sandpaper. *I* would botch the acetone treatment. Sandpaper is safer. Hah! Since I mask things off I only screw up a small area of the model. Later! Brent (Contemplating banging out either an Eduard Dr.I or Roden D.VII for my mother in law's Christmas present. The D.VII has an easier paint scheme, but the model's a drag. The Eduard Dr.I is a nicer kit, but the paint scheme! I'll be doing one of Udet's mounts regardless.) >From: "NEIL EDDY" >Reply-To: wwi@wwi-models.org >To: Multiple recipients of list >Subject: [WWI] Removing Paint Runs >Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2002 10:34:37 -0500 (EST) > >Hi All > >I tried sending this earlier from work but for some reason it hasn't showed >up on List, so I'll repost it now... > >Last night I was spraying my Pfalz with the silbergrau mix I am using and >didn't thin the Tamiya acrylics enough that I was using. > >As a consequence of this I've experienced a couple of small runs and some >minor pooling at the top of the fuselage aft and fore of the cockpit. > >My question is about I remove these runs and the pool without creating >major >damage to the rest of the paint job. > >I was thinking either fine wet and dry and a gentle sand or acetone. > >I want to avoid a major re-paint job as it would probably mean I have to >redo the entire silbergrau.

This stuff just dissolved what Future you had underneath it. This is one reason I have stopped using Maskol... MicroMask doesn't do this..I don't know what the base for MicroMask is, but it is safe to use over dried Future...

Dave Fleming BTW, ammonia based cleaning products are great for stripping future & some acrylics ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 4767 **********************
