Too bad I was unable to see this thread before! I would have wished to stop this earlier. For oine side, thanks to those who said good things about me. I consider all list members friends of mine, and as real friends do, we are not always in agreement. the oimportant thing is that we can talk about this without hard feelings. As you may have noticed by my sloppy usage of the english, I'm a non-english speaker. Some phrases doesn't come out as I intended and in this case I seem to have typed a bad choice of words. I meant that if "I" would do a Spad (in fact I'm making one) I hardly would have painted it in this scheme. Not because I have any bad feeling on Turks or the unknown modeler, but because the drab colour and square markings look to me very demeaning to the elegant lines of the Spad. That's all. And yes, the rigging can be more accurate. For a contest model, at least you can look at the box artwork and check how to glue the strands, right? I'm sorry if you don't like my comments or the pattern of them. There's little I can do about it (at least that's what the FBI profiler said) Regards D. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 16:41:32 -0000 From: "Pedro N.

This time I gave the catalyst a good shake, as per Cyg's instructions and the this really made a difference beause a couple of hours after laying the rubber it started to harden and the next day it was absolutely dry, so I could remove the 2nd mould half from the lego box. I am now ready to try the casting part, which I plan do do ASAP. I'll keep you posted.

I love the square markings in fact. Turkish marked aircraft are a pet hobby in a hobby of mine. This was sparked by the movie Lawrence of a Arabia. Compared to the drab scenes on the Western front I find the Mid East in WWI far more interesting. Just wish I had more time to study it.. Also no-one picked me up on the error in the post about the Spad. I said it was OT. Well silly me, its markings say its from either very late 1919 and far more likely to be early 1920's... Oh and Diego you are ok by me... can I have that $50 now I have said that about you !!

Shane states: "Doubtfull. How are they measuring airspeed - needs a pitot or small prop or some other form of transducer." I do not know if I have ever seen this on a E.III or E.IV, but I remember seeing pictures of some crude airspeed indicators. Basically they were force gauges. A paddle faced into the wind. The paddle was attached to a needle via a spring. On the face of the instrument was a "safe" zone and a dark colored "danger" zone. Nothing fancy, that's for sure. Have fun!
