Message-ID: <20030203.162937.160.0.joel361@juno.com> Hi all, Its been a long time since I did any model construction but at one time as a teenager I built models for Revell's Company showcase back in the late 60's. It was fun and I got got paid in Revell electric slot racing sets and other Revell products. The reasons I'm writing to you, the members of this forum on WW1 modelling is that lately the bug for making models seems to have reinfected me. Perhaps because of finding this fine modeling site, seeing the work of so many expert modellers in many kinds of media, and the fact I was always partial to the interesting and creative designs of fighter planes of this period. To start with, I have recently found a great deal on a Proctor 1/4 scale Nieuport 28, unbuilt and in excelant condition in its original boxes. This is a great kit, and it would be a kick to build as well as very accurate as to the structure of the real Nieuport 28. But even more than this Proctor kit, I would really love to build either the Hasegawa !/8 scale Sopwith Camel or the SE5a museum kits (but not the Fokker tripe). And so, I wonder if any of the members of this modeling group or someone they know might have one of these two kits in the same good unbuilt condition and if they might be interested in in a trade? Next, for any member of the list who might be want to buy them, I still have ALL of the Inpact models Veteran Aircraft series kits unbuilt and in the original boxes from my old days. I'd like to sell them as a group. Any party interested may E-mail me to work out a reasonable price and shipping. Last, given the rarity of the Hasegawa 1/8 Camel and SE5a its likely I will be building the Proctor Nieuport 28 and so I am looking for more information. Looking at all of the photos I can find on the internet, both color and b/w, I still find the layout of things in the fusalage forward of the pilots seat unclear in arrangement and detail. Are there any written resources that give a good clear view of all the structure, controls, wires, tubes, etc. ? Thanks Much, Joseph Lieuallen joel361@juno.com ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

Message-ID: Dave Z says: >Someone (I apologize, I have forgotten who) recently mentioned that he runs >a little Future into the edge of the masking tape to reduce paint bleed. Me. And it does help reduce the need to burnish the hell out of the masking tape. One "problem" is that if you (inevitably) get some slop over of Future on top of the tape. When the maskis removes it can pull out from under the now painted future and leave a little tag of painted future which looks like a ragged edge. This is usually removable by running the bristles of a stiff brush against the masked edge so that bristles go under the future. A masking job using this technique will be in my gallery just as soon as I send the pic to Sanjeev or Mark Shane ******************************** My Strine is a Toad in Disguise ******************************** _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Feb 2003 18:36:29 -0600 From: "Matt Bittner" To: "wwi@wwi-models.org" Subject: Using Tape (was Re: Re: Tough paints...)

I have been thinking that one of the reasons the tape lifts the paint is because I feel I have to rub it down so hard to reduce bleed - perhaps this tip would permit a gentler application of the tape. Funny that I don't have the problems others do, and I use acrylics. (Okay, I do have problems, but only when I use Testor's ModelMaster Acryl. I avoid it if I can.) I also use your run of the mill "masking tape" (the "yellow" stuff). When I thin the paints (usually Polly Scale or Mister Kit) I thin not only with a couple of drops of windshield washer fluid, but also Future. After I spray, I let it dry at least a day before I mask - usually longer. In order to get a clean "edge" from the tape, I always cut away the edge as it comes off the roll. You will *not* get a clean nor a straight line unless you do this. Since I adhere the tape to my glass work surface to cut it, it's already "detacked". However, I go one further and either stick it to my forhead (and *try* not to forget it's there ;-)) or the back of my hand. Then I put the tape onto the model and burnish it down (yes, harder than you think so it doesn't bleed, but also not as hard as you would assume). However, there is two areas of prep work before I even paint. First, when I take the model out of the box I wash it with dishwasher detergent. Then, before I put the first coat of paint down, I wash it with Polly S Prep. Since I've been doing this - and (important) using Polly Scale or Mister Kit - I haven't peeled the paint. (No matter how good I think I clean the model and how good I de-tack the tape I almost *always* pull up Acryl.) So, FWIW, HTH, YMMV, yadda yadda yadda... ;-) Matt Bittner ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Feb 2003 10:40:33 +1000 From: "Shane Weier" To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Now at NKR Message-ID: Hi all For those waiting, Earl now has the new Eduard Junkers at A$35 Kinda expensive but pretty much to be expected for what is a fairly large model with all those awkward corrugations. Since I can't afford to buy one just now I'll have to wait for my local pusher to get one. *IF* you go to NKR's site have a read of the review of that *other* Albatros by Eduard. As is now routine - it's beautifully done. I wish them luck with their foray into suck and blows because it may help fund more and better WW1 stuff, but I do feel a bit unhappy to be looking at more new Eduard jets this year than proper aircraft.

Hey Matt, let me attest that you have problems. *And* you use kid paints! :-) > However, I go one further and either stick it to my forhead Hmmm, this may explain why you were missing one eyebrow in Kansas City last year. You were a little low and off center when you stuck the tape to your head. That must of hurt yanking your eyebrow like that. Yikes! Kidding aside Matt makes some good points. I don't trust the stright edge of masking tape off the roll. I always stick it to my cutting board and cut it with a straight edge. Then it's detacked and has a straight edge.

Or just a glutton. I visited the shop with the "estate sale" again today, for the purpose of looking for Off Topic items that a few people had inquired about. What did I find? I found 4 new boxes of stuff that I spent all day going through to grab the On Topic kits of WWI. There are some real beauts, believe me. I bought 40 kits, for an average price of about $5.00. Most 1:48, but also several 1:72. Since I don't build 1:48 these days, these are for you. If there are any left (I doubt it), I will auction them off on EBay. This time, I think it would be most fair to pick a day, say next Saturday, or maybe after that, at a specific convenient time, so that everyone on the list in Australia, America, Europe, Russia, and Baltic States, including those folks in digest-mode can have an equal shot at one of these kits. What time (and/or date) would be the best to post this new grab-bag? Shall we use Greenwich Mean Time?
