Well, the HR kit is a stinker. They can range from OK to bad and this one was in the lower range of buildable. Zillions of tiny air bubble holes in the surface. Freakin moonscape it was. So a lot of paint hid the holes and the outlines weren't too far off. (Don't ban me for blasphemy Matt). I knocked it together without interior and cramed a pilot figure in the cockpit hole to plug it up. I did a stylish dark gray/light gray scheme shown on P55 of the Red Stars 3 book. It turned out petty well for a slammer, even cut off the lumps on the upper wing and made slots with wire aileron cranks. Darn thing still didn't look much like a Nieuport though. Doh! the folks at HR neglected to add any side cowl detail. No cowl holes and no breather pipes or inspection hatches. Crap, the dang thing is already rigged. Then I had a rare flash. I took a piece of clear decal material and cut it to shape of the panels, painted the edge black and put in some dots of black for fasteners and when I applied it to the bare side panel, (dark gray), it made a beautiful little inspection hatch. I had tried to paint about a dozen hatches on the decal material, with zero success, but cutting to shape first and painting just the edges worked perfectly. The breather tubes were made from rod hollowed with an X-Acto blade point an cowl holes were just painted on. It isn't a superdetailer's solution, but for a run of the mill mostly OOB build in 1/72 it worked quite well. I'll send in some photos & text for my RCW page shortly. sp **************************************************************************** ************************************** There is something inherently warped about a society that forces it's modelers to work for a living. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2003 09:26:26 -0500 From: "Steven Perry" To: Subject: Re: Anatra Anade Message-ID: <003b01c2c47d$bf0dbd60$65a8a8c0@tampabay.rr.com> > That HUGE book isn't meant to be read as a novel from begginig to end.

Lorna, definitely looking forward to your build of this. It should definitely be stunning. Okay, next person who calls 1/72nd scale "teeny scale" or anything derogatory like that will be forced to build one of the planes in the Furious kit, with a full cockpit and full - to scale - rigging. :-P``` Matt ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2003 09:10:29 -0800 (PST) From: Sean Brian Kirby To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: Bulgarian aircraft of wwi Message-ID: <20030125171029.79381.qmail@web14806.mail.yahoo.com> --- Zulis@aol.com wrote: > > It's a four-book set - which I just saw for sale > on > > eBay for about $26, last time I checked. Hmmmm... My room-mate is Bulgarian. (His grandfather saved King Boris' life twice.) Bulgarians are the nicest people in the world. And the girls are very pretty. Plus, their Holocaust record is amazing; they are great people. The series is said to run from 1892 to 1946. Suppose that's why the second book would be on WWI involvement. I personally wanna' get my hands on this series, now that I hear it's pretty good. Sean ===== www.pitpass.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

(Witness the continued releases of yet more Bayerische Fluegzeugwerke Ein-Hundert-Neunen... not to mention all those Pintos and Freakin' Wolves.) And that is part of my point - seems to me they might want to corner a money-maker, as opposed to copying one. Make a nice Nie.17 or Camel in '72nd, and the dollars will come. I do not ask, "Why do they do this," for purely selfish reasons. Seems to go against good business sense. Unless Revell do something miraculous with this forthcoming release, I am going to invariably end up with more (near-perfect) Eduard Dreidekkers on my shelf than Revells. Beat Eduard to the Nieuport/Sopwith punch, and there you go. Know what I mean? Sean ===== www.pitpass.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

He got hooked on the large action figures in a big way. Pun intended. Anyway, I went over to his house and felt like a kid in the candy store. So many models, so little money. He has every scale, especially Revell in 1/72. I mentioned that I know this group of nuts (I omitted my self :-)) that love WW1 aircraft and would probably be interested in helping him reduce his inventory. He has every brand of kit except Airfix in every scale. All of the kits are mint, some even in the shrink wrap. So let's do this. Any one looking for a kit or kits, let me know. I will go shopping for you. I will get a price and let you know. All I will do is add postage when I send the kits. Contact me off line. I did pick up the Eduard Fokker F.1.
