But lets see; 10-Matt wouldn't be seen dead building PC10 since its boring. Of course just as boring Silver or Yellow French things are fine. 9-Matt wouldn't build anything but 1/72, but he's hiding a finished 1/48th secret DR1 8-Only Matt knows every nuance of how to correct every 1/72 Nieuport made 7-Matt (ot alert) knows every nuance of whats wrong with the Hasegawa I-16 (I made the mistake of asking him for information when I was nearly done with my I-16 sigh ;( 6-Matt is really Matt Nunguesser who went missing in the Atlantic in the 20's and then re-emerged in the midwest. Actually according to the encyclopedia Fernetica, Matt has a hideous 1/48th picture of himself painted by Henri Farre. This picture ages of course and Matt doesn't, although he does have to build a 1/72 Nieuport every year or so to stay young. - Hence Matt's panic since he hasn't finished an OT model in a while. 5-Matt has an aversion to ever being in a photo. Most of us who have not seen Matt suspect that he is 6 inches tall and doesn't want us to know. This is why his models are so darned good, they're lifesize. 4-Matt has a shrinking machine and wont share, he builds in 1/48 really. 3-if we didn't have Matt we would have to invent him... Matt's much more creative so why try. Plus he never misspells Nieapurt, Broguet, Farman, Spode or Depurdudinsisney 2-Matt has forced the price of Revell N17's to many times their original price by his incessant hoarding. 1-Well who else but Matt could be the inspiration for the following webpages. http://wwi-cookup.com/dicta_ira/index.html btw all of the above is very much tongue in cheek. Matt is and has been one of the cornerstones of the list and has helped me tons over the past 5 years or so.

But the idea here isn't to auction to the highest bidder. It's just to pass on the kit at the price I paid. In this mode, it has to be first-come-first-serve.

In other words, Humbrol for Humbrol paint, Gunze for their own paints etc. The "thin to the same consistency as milk" rule holds true for all brands and types (lacquer, enamel, acrylic). For clean up, I use the cheapest stuff I can find. It does what it is intended to do. Get the left over paint out of the brusk and into the rubbish bin.

The masking alone must have taken hours! Allan Thanks, Yes, it was a complete b'stard to do and several goes before I thought I was getting close to the photo, as opposed to the profile. Wrapping a double helix 'round a cigar is, uh, interesting. The Dr-1 was far easier in that respect....but I'm going to take a long break from flying barber poles...Checkerboards maybe?

The D.VII book concentrates on Aces from the components of JG I, JG II, JG III, and JG IV. Part 2 will look at the Aces and D.VIIs from the remaining Jastas. Considering the format, reproduction of photos is very good. D.VII enthusiasts will have seen most of the pics before but hey...there are only so many quality pics relating of to the subject matter. Captions are very informative and complement the text. Dempsey is back to his best with the colour profiles. They are well thought out with each aircraft having its own louver pattern, not just a generic offering. Greg VanWyngarden has done a superb job with research from Alex Imrie and input from Dave Roberts, Ray Rimell and Dan-San Abbott. They are not just a collection of profiles that we have already seen in the WS Anthologies. A lot of new stuff here. Some of the renditions will surprise but the explanation for the changes is explained in the text. The text is easy to read with excerpts from pilots' diaries, letters and interviews which make great reading. Greg is also working on other German OT stuff for Osprey for the Elite Unit series. Woo whoo! I haven't read the Camel book yet but it looks good and again the profiles are terrific. None of the dark fuzzy profiles we have seen before. Talk about colour....wow, got to love those Naval Squadrons!

Message-ID: I've got a Pegasus Junkers D1 that I'm trying to do a deal with Clay on. He seemed suspiciously anxious to get it (Hi Clay!) so I checked if I could find one for sale , I couldn't. Anyone know what I should ask, actually for the amount of work Clay is doing for listees right now, he should by rights get it for nothing. So what would a fair price be? /Neil C. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 21:20:17 +0800 From: "Robert Baumgartner" To: Subject: Latest Osprey OT Message-ID: <001f01c2cc50$2a4c03f0$d86a32d2@RobBaum> Bob, My pain is just beginning. I've become hooked on 10 Naval Squad. lately, especially the Sopwith Triplane and now the Camel. I'm trying to do the impossible by assembling a list serials, and matching them to pilots and markings (only the Tripes though). Sadly I feel a twinge to do the same for 9 Naval Squad. What pills did you use to cure yourself of this, I need some real bad.

I am not the one to judge the accuracy as the others on this list. From my relatively inexperienced view, it is one the highest quality kits I have seen. It has good photoetched parts, high detail, and all the parts fit well. The only trouble I had with it was trying to keep the floats from looking "knock-kneed", that is, keeping the floats straight up perpendicular to the horizontal. The decals are great, but you have to choose the right color underneath them, as 1/3 of the little hexagons in the lozenge pattern are clear. Mine is too dark, but it still looks good. It is my 10-year-old's favorite.
