Nope. All I've used was painted decal strip. I'm trusting that the decal
strips will be enough to replicate the rib plus tape on the upperside of the
wing.

 It also looks like you scored

Yes. 2 blunt blades glued together did it.

This was one of the hardest parts. I tried a lot of ways, even using thin
aluminium foil. In the end what I did was to use thin plastic (.010). First
I created a vacant rectangle where the exhaust channel would be, by cutting
away the kit plastic. I also cut the front fuselage bulkhead. Then I
measured the width of the vacant quasi-rectangle thus created at the front
and at the rear .This would  correspond to the width of the plastic channel
(I did make allowance for the thickness of the plastic and for the fact that
the sides of the channel slope inwards). I transfered the measurements to
the plastic and I  very lightly scored on the right and left sides of the
rectangle, so as to be able to bend a tiny (1,5 mm wide maybe) flap. The
flaps corresponded to the sides of the channel which would be glued onto the
kit's plastic This was then done with liquid glue and left to dry
throuroughly. Once dry any remaining holes and imperfections were dealt with
with milliput. Harder to describe than to do.

To be honest, we hardly "need" more kits to build.  The variety in 1/72nd 
and 1/48th scales is quite astonishing, especially compared to about 10-12 
years ago.  Keep wishing for a Tamiya WW1 product - it won't help and it's 
hardly necessary: Eduard's recent releases are well within the 
Tamiya-quality range, in my view.  In 1/72nd scale, they are set to release 
a Junkers J-1 and a De Haviland-2, which will keep me occupied and happy for 
a while to come.  Roden is set to release a couple of SE5a's and a Bristol 
F.2B plus the multitude of Albatros that have been released by them in the 
past few months.

Sure, we know there are a few well known WW1 aeroplanes that are not 
available but they are few and far between.  Look at what IS available, take 
a look at your model stash, and ask yourself how many models you've built in 
the past 24 months.

While we're on rigging, a good friend who's a terrific
modeller suggested the 'hairy fuselage' method,
whereby one puts in all the fuselage rigging before
joining the halves. It sounds great, except - and he
mentioned this - it seems like painting would be a
bear. Who here uses this method?

Also... I am considering making plastic-card/etched
ring pieces patterned from the little Eduard etched
inboard rigging-mounts for the Albatros. I'd love to
use the etched part, but how in heck would I get a
beentsy drill through that steel? Seems like Schnap
City, to me.

Oh, yeah, this is the truth - but everybody likes nice
new stuff, right? And agreed on your point about
Eduard - have felt that their releases are every bit
as good as the Japanese stuff... and nice etch comes
standard.

IIRC, a Czech Magazine, HpM (I believe) had some very good colour profiles
including Capt. Strange Aircraft. Maybe one of our fellow Czech listees can

I only wish the Biff and the SE5 will not need the same amount of filler
that the Albatros DIII does. Boy I've been sanding away filler for two days
in a row and I'm not done with it yet. I wonder how Bill Arnold managed to
get away with it so fast, not to talk about Dennis slow fingers Ugulano. It
took me more time to putty one Albatros that it did for Dennis to entirely
build one....

Ah, and if you are thinking of building one, be sure to shave the front of
the engine or else the round front cover won't fir at all. As it is it only
won't fit but can be forced in place with glue, elbow grease and putty,
loads of it.

Well, yes, the Oeffag D.II did need some filling but eventually it came out 
fine.  Needed a fair amount of rescribe too as I recall.  Build a couple of 
vacs then go back to a Roden kit - it'll seem like a pice of cake in 
comparison.

Ah yes, the engine too.  I wound up sanding off bits of that too - nothing 
the Dremel couldn't cope with in about 30 seconds though.  These are $7 
kits, so you have to reckon on some effort on the modeller's part.

Sean,

>beentsy drill through that steel? 
-------- you can use .002 or .003 " brass sheet stock to make the 
hardware.  You wont break a drill bit unless(or until) it skids.  You 
can save some money and use .009" steel wire (guitar string) as a 
drill bit.  Takes a bit longer though.

Pedro, you are too good a modeler to give in to a "groan-fest". Roden has it's 
problems, but they are getting better, and modeling withpout problems is BORING!

Can anybody tell me what the underside of the fuselage of a Phonix D1 would
look like?  Would it be brown-daubbed like the rest of the fuselage and tops
of the wings or was it something else?  Help!
