That means 12 a year which is a very respectful number of kits. Keep up the good work. And all airplanes need to make sounds. My sound has a little more p in it and all of my planes and cars and boats and anything else make the same sound. Also, individual parts also make the same sound. Individual parts do fly, don't they? And on completing kits. The Eduard Fokker D.VIII Sea Eagle that Michael sent me will be complete this weekend. This will be only # 5 for me this year. I will do better next year, I promise.

Try very hard to figure out a way to discontinue the Mime and HTML on your messages. Open up a box some place and check Plain Text messages. The list is designed for ASCII only and straight text. It will not accept photos or anything else. That has to be accomplished around the corner and down the road a piece. Like thru Matt and some others.. The Mime and HTML come through as a bunch of, not very well thought out, gibberish. Since the servers belong to the University of New Hampshire, and, they set the rules of engagement there is no reason to expect them to change so to make it nice you will have to do it. Meant to be a constructive thought and not critical comments. UNH will put up with it for a bit and then may decided that you died... and... not accept any more messages from your address. Lee M.

The kit is very close to the datafile GA. The wing upper surfaces have to be sanded down, there are some very prominent wing ribs. Anyway, I think it is a nice kit which I will build one of these ... year ;-) My main questioning is for the colour, the datafile is not very clear. May be a PC10 scheme.

Did you read the critics drivel on the WWI art page at regarding the Albatros painting: "The artist strives to render two things - accurate material detail and the sensation of height. Whilst he succeeds in overcoming the second problem, he is rather over-attentive to detail, since the guy cables between the biplane's two wings are visible as is the structure of the tail-plane which would in fact have been invisible at such a speed." We're lucky that some artists do devote effort to detail, as it makes our efforts that much easier. Also, who decided that things disappear at speed? A critic is a person who can't do it, but tells others what they did wrong...Bah, humbug! (or is that 'Hunbug' in this case???)

THE PROPOSITION: He was an Oil Merchant/Contractor with the Federal Government of Nigeria, until his untimely death three years ago in a ghastly motor accident, banked with us here at National Bank of Nigeria Plc., Lagos, and has a closing balance of US$20.5M (twenty million, five hundred thousand united states dollars only) which the bank now unquestionably expects to be claimed by his next of kin or alternatively be donated to a discredited trust fund for arms and ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria. Fervent efforts being made by the National Bank of Nigeria Plc. to get in touch with any of the deceased family has proved abortive. It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate the next of kin (He had no wife or children) that the management under the influence of our chairman and member of the board of directors, retired Major Gen. Bensons maka, that an arrangement be made for the funds to be declared Unclaimed and subsequently be donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunitions to further enhance the cause of war in Africa and the world at large. In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted colleagues and I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to the deceased so that the funds US$20.5 would be released and paid in to your bank account as the next of kin. All documents and proof to enable you get this fund will be forwarded to you and more so; we are assuring you of 100% risk-free involvement. We have agreed to part with 15% percentage of the total amount as your own share of the money for assisting us in this deal. You should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within five banking days, after you apply to the bank as the next of kin. If this proposal is OK by you and assure us that you will not take undue advantage of the trust we hope to bestow on you, please kindly get back to me by email for further details and step to progress. kindly contact me immediately via my e-mail furnishing me with your most confidential telephone, fax and e-mail, so I can forward to you the relevant details of this transaction. Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation. To your health, Dr. Danzumi Gambo N.B (If you have received this email in error, please accept my apology.

And have been a WWI a/c buff since extreme kidhood. Actually bought the lovely Eduard Nie.17 Profi - finally - last night. Nungesser - aluminium dope... or Boyau. But I am working on two D.Vs, at the moment, Udet's black beauty as a gift, and von Hantlemann's for myself. (Marking with the Profi' kit, and a gorgeous plane...) (Will make patterns from the Profipack for the no-etch one I also have.) But I will need all your help. Guess that's what we're here for, right? :) Thanks for the welcome. ===== www.pitpass.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
