Welcome, Gregg. They may say this is the nuthouse, but it may actually be the one place of sanity in the world. Your Nieuport is excellent, despite the self-critique you give. Now you just have to be wary and keep fingers out of the reach of recently married Argentinians with machetes..... As to resin parts - I don't care which you do (well, I do have a few favorites) just make them readily available! I think one of the most common complaints about aftermarket goods on the list is that the 'excellent [whatever] is too hard to get in [wherever]'. While the list members have helped one another with these purchases, some of the items are still a pain in the patooty to get. .Mark. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2002 12:10:34 -0600 From: Ken Schmitt To: Subject: and thinned with Naptha Message-ID: Folks- picking up the Wash thread-- any comments RE Naptha?

Although I have to wonder how the 1/72 parts would make money. I used an Aeroclub engine in my last build. Although it wasnt great it made all the difference after I added pushrods and painted it.

The prob is the crankcase, not the pieces. yeh, it's a pain, but your concept gets my vote (and dollar). Separate jugs is no big deal, a resin Oberusel already exists like this as does a Blue Max Monosoupape (a nice one, btw). But the Oberusel & Gnome could ea. have a better 'case... LeRhone, 80, 110, 160 Bentley Oberusel Siemens-Halske Mercedes Beardmore BMW... Cockpit retrofits for Flashback brass horrors, vacs...
