The book _Russian Aeroplanes, 1914-1918_ arrived today. Awesome! This is everything that Dave Z. posted and more. If I were to pick, the only thing missing are color profiles. However, that is in no way a detraction from the book. Remember how enamoured I am of Marc Chassard's book on Dorme and Guiguet? Well, this is the "Chassard" book for 2003 (and it's still early ;-)). If you like Russian aviation at all, you're doing yourself a disservice by not buying this book. If you have any interest in building Omega's Mosca MB bis, you need this book (sorry, Michael ;-)). In fact, there are two photos there that could help in building the model with the wings and tail folded. In fact, whenever (that is, whichever millenia) I build the Omega kit, that's exactly what I'm going to do. So, in short, buy this book. Show Icarus and Maslov that there is interest in this sort of thing. Then maybe Icarus will translate more of Maslov's awesome work. My only regret was paying "book rate" to get it shipped. My patience (or lack thereof) got the better of me. :-) Matt Bittner ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 23:45:06 +0000 From: Steve Cox To: Subject: Re: Scratching spoked wheels Message-ID: it's on the odds and ends page, site was OK just now when I looked regards Steve =========================================== steve@oldglebe.freeserve.co.uk http://www.oldglebe.freeserve.co.uk/steveshome.html http://www.bramptonscalemodelclub.fsnet.co.uk If I didn't spend so much time on line ‹‹ I'd get some models finished ================ > From: SSH > Reply-To: wwi@wwi-models.org > Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 17:44:10 -0500 (EST) > To: Multiple recipients of list > Subject: [WWI] Re: Scratching spoked wheels > > Yes, Thats it !

Poll has nothing on the Russians. Sure the Svyatogor might not be as large as the Poll *could have* been, but it was finished and it actually taxied. The bottom of the nose is at least 10 feet off the ground - probably more like 15. The rear tires appear to be as large as a man! There is an awesome photo taken of a repair shop. Being repaired at that time was a SPAD A-series (can't tell if it's a '2' or a '4' since the wings aren't in the photo). The airframe has the nacelle off, and you can see almost the whole of the rear of the nacelle, as well as the engine/prop attached to the main fuselage. The cover artwork of the Kasyanenko No.5 shows it during it's only succesful "hop". It unfortunately crashed to the ground, breaking the tail and prop (since the prop was in the tail). Awesome, most awesome!

I have so far never seen a photo of an OT aircraft which I'd say has a "flat" finish, so my final coat *if* I apply one will be satin (semi gloss) at least, and may even be gloss though not on 1/72 models (I *have* put a matt coat on a Dr.1, but that was accidental, a can of humbrol satin that despite being thoroughly mixed was the mattest paint I ever bought.

If my personal experience is any guide, I have about 300% in-process vs. 5% completions, so you can see this in-process stuff can get pretty heavy. I think I have found a solution to this “overload” problem. If each of us had our own website/domain (and I know many already do!) we could individually post our in-process stuff and save wear and tear on the list editors and much-needed space in the list galleries. I am willing to pioneer this project by establishing a basic website and, to get this thing started, need at least ten listees to purchase websites from me. Although I don’t have all the bits and pieces of this thing tidied up, I’m sure the fee will be nominal. As an added benefit, any listee taking advantage of this can do the same thing as I propose and recoup their website investment plus make some extra money with which to increase their stash. If you would like to take a look and signup then you need to click on the recent message, subject: [WWI] dfernet0, which you may have already inadvertently deleted and need to rescue from the trash. Regards, Mike Kavanaugh I’m sure that anything associated with Diego has to be on the “up and up”. ;-)) __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.

But I have another query - someone in here put up a neato site, and on that first page, there was a spiffy interior shot of a Macchi-built Nie.11. License-built as it was, I am assuming it to be extremely similar to its all-French counterpart. Um... were the longerons connected by - tubing? Or was the frame all-wood?
