First, like you I have another Merlin under construction for about 2 years. I built one about 10 years ago. The Merlin fuselage is about 1/4" shorter than the Eduard kit. Up Front there is almost no difference in the position of vent and other features in the front of the fuselage. The top is wing is almost identical. The Eduard lower wing is a total of 1/2" longer that the Merlin kit. As far as I can see the struts could easily be made from the Eduard kit. In fact, I am going to do that very thing as the Merlin strut material is too big. I would not have noticed that if you hadn't sent me to the kit department to check. Would you like me to make you a set while I'm at it? Making two sets will only take twice as long as making one. :-) Let me know.

On the "in processing" page they have almost nothing new (except that Brisfit, but even this one is announced for March). Other things are new versions of the existing kits, SE 5a with Hisso, twin rudder Gotha, late Albie W... What surprise they prepare for Autumn? Maybe something which finally use these Parabellum guns (I bet for the Hannover). Or a Camel, if SE 5 will be success? Or... Naglo? In fact I'd be most happy with Aviatik Berg C.I, Phonix C.I or one of the early Fokker biplanes (D.II for example). Just dreaming in the laaaaateeeeee night. Cheers!

Ya, I used some newspapers with the reports for a sunshade in 88° Barbados :-) > like I said - welcome back ;-) Thanks--as my traveling companion says "Everyplace is nice, but home is best." Nothing like sleeping in one's own bed. But I'll keep hitting the road as long as the money and the body hold out. I put in my time in the cheap hotels with down-the-hall toilets and creaky stairs from Arthur Frommer's "Europe on $10 a Day"; even inside cabins on these monster cruise ships are megalevels above those. > I am also a train buff I'm not really all that serious about it--don't build them or anything. But I rode trains as a kid when Mother sent me to Grandma for the summers and never lost my love of traveling that way. Would like to ride the Trans-Siberian and the 'toy train' in Sikkim someday. Have been all over Europe by train: overnights every way from standing in the corridor to 1st class couchette; have also ridden the valley train from Cuzco to Macchu Picchu, the 'Reunification Express' from Hanoi to Danang, an express from Leningrad to Moscow, the overnight express from Bombay to New Delhi, and another overnight express from Rangoon to Mandalay. Great way to meet people and see, smell, taste, and rub up against the local populations. > I posted this link a while back, but in case you missed it: > http://ww1-aircraft.info/ Nice site--seems to be an offshoot of http://www.airwar.ru > click on "vehicle list" > You'll find some nice data on a variety of vehicles including > plans for 3 different narrow gauge locomotives and some rolling > stock.

Goodnight. --Clay --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Clay W Fulcher To: Multiple recipients of list Date: Sun, 9 Feb 2003 02:27:32 -0500 (EST) Subject: [WWI] Fw: Kit List Final Tally, Part 1 Dang, Part 1 was too big with my comments below. So here are the comments again, to be followed by Part 1 tally. Hopefully it will get through. Well I think I figured it all out, yikes. Some of these were just seconds apart. I am still working on two of them (the Aviatik and the W-29), as denoted. I have two other cross-reference lists that show the names of everyone who made a request, by kit, and by name. If you want to see those lists, let me know off-line and I'll send them to you. The Gotha and the Fried were the most in demand. The Pterodactyl (ugly little thing) was also in high demand. There are only four left of the ones I picked up, 2 OT and 2 ot. Most of the ot that I did not pick up are still available, if they are still at the store. I'll be calling them on Monday morning to find out which ones are still there for sale. I wish I had more to offer but that's it. I regret that everyone didn't get something. Poor Glen Broman, he got unsubbed right before the impact. Are you back online now Glen? Here is the final tally as of tonight, around Midnight US MOUNTAIN THYME. ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

I use Gunze a fair bit as they are plentiful down here. Gunze Sail Colour is a nice light woodgrain base and works as a passable CDL also in some circumstances. There have been a few disparaging comments re coverage and toughness, but one thing I have found is that Gunze acrylics love Future. A small amount into the paint prior to spraying and you get a beautiful even coat that is very tough. I most recently used this on My (OT Alert!!) T-6 Texan which is on Ross' site under my builds (notice that subtle plug folks :-). I find they do thicken in the jar over time and have to be thinned a bit at that stage. I use their thinners for this generally, and Metholated Spirits for cleaning. Mr Surfacer I use for small shallow seams and some touching up on scratched finishes. I have never had cause to spray it as I generally use Tamiya primer. One thing I will not use is Gunze clear finishes in the spray cans. I have seen them attack paint finishes with nasty results.

I would guess that any flatcar used to transport AC would likely be standard gauge. That's just a guess though - i'm no expert on European RR.

Their sail colour is a favorite of mine too. I have never used the spray cans . . . now, never will. I can get Gunze paints through Squadron mail order but they don't seem to carry the Mr. Surfacers - - don't know why not.
