Pretty Nice, Fraser.

It seems you applied the glazes over the naked plastic. Is that so, or did
you undercoat first?

Thanks, and the joke is that it's a pretty low tech digital, no manual
overrides...It does tend to fall down on depth of field...but if that's
impotant I'v still got my OM4-ti and some good lenses.

Fraser,
Nice pictures.  I mean just that; real nice close up photography.  And the
models are great too. Thanks for posting the in progress pixs.  I also liked
the Fok Dr1; my first time to your website.

Anything that flies off the water . . . H-B, Macchi, Lohner, Sopwith Baby, Sablatnig, whatever.  Maybe it's because, as a youngster, my first airplane rides were Piper Cub-type aircraft flying on skis off the ice of our frozen bay of the St. Lawrence river in the winter and, in the summer, off the water in a small Grumman Seabee-type with a single pusher engine.

Neil asks a hard question:

> your favorite OT aircraft? And why?

I'm not real fond of Fokkers, but pretty near everything else that flew
1914-18 is tied for favorite.

Taubes pretty well corner the market on graceful.
I'lyas take it for impressive.
Bebes are the cutest
A Spad XIII is what I'd want strapped over my tender behind.
Fees brought us original dancer's hoochie coochie pole.
SE.5as look the coolest.
Albatri look the deadliest.
Absolutely nothing that flew during this period was noted for reliability.

It was actually you who last asked this question, about two years ago
if memory serves me correctly. So I thought it might be time for a new
go around. About the cutest, I agree it should be a baby, but a Sopwith Baby!

Yes, there was a long thread with 'Happy Day' or some such, but the 
lead-off question was; Who makes a kit of these beasties?  The only answer 
I saw was Contrail, but I didn't catch which one they did.  I comprehend 
the fallacy of holding my breath for an Ursinus (sp?), but knowing there 
once was, or is, a half decent RV kit (okay, even an RVI) would keep me 
from passing out all the time.....

Probably the Avro 504 or Sopwith Pup

>And why?

Pup because I think it just looks right - it is well proportioned and not too 
fussy. 504 for the same reasons, and also because there are just so many 
variations - Avro were still putting out aircraft based on the 504 in the late 
20s.

Supplementary - is this relected in your modelling/kit collection ? In my case 
Neiuport 17s out-number the above.

Yes it is actually, Spad 13 leads 5-4 over the Spad 7. 
An ot aircraft also beginning with Sp is the only competitor
in numbers.

Don't forget the Eastchurch Kitten - Port Victoria 8 (PV8).  Can't you just 
see the judge's face when calls out - "First place, 'Eastchurch Kitten'".  
Amazing how little we know of others' area's of interest in aeroplanes.  I 
am extremely ignorant in most areas outside WW1 and not that great with WW1. 
The best mistake I heard was someone pronounce my Sopwith Snipe as 
"Soap"-with Snipe:).

P.S. Snow is actually tapering off now at 9:53AM, having continued all 
night.  Yes, Washington DC is sub-tropical but only in the Summer.  This is 
unusual for the quantity of snow but we defintely have a continental 
climate.

Ken!
Thank you for valuable comments. BTW, I've noticed a photo of you on the
Website. This one with fish and a dog. I haven't seen it previously. My
girlfriend said that you look very cool and you must be a very "hard-core"
type of guy (she's great fan of Aragorn and Faramir) but I told you that in
fact you are 90 years old, and that fish was bought on the market in a town.
Could you write something about that expedition? It looks like Alaskan gold
rush or Northwestern pass.

Well, where to start!
Nieuport 11: because it is the cutest little airplane flown in the war.
Albatros D.V: Because it looks like a flying fish.
Sopwith Pup: Because along with the Nieuport 11 and the Bristol Scout they
share that look of frailty and purpose. But the Pup and the Bebe are the
best proportioned machines.
Spad 7: Because they look simpler and cleaner than later Spads. And much
better than previous designs!
Strange, I'm sure that some time ago my answers would have been different!

If we mention ot, I have over 40 kits of a certain aircraft, from 1/24th to 
1/144th.

OT, it's probably Nie 17s (8), Pups & derivatives (6) 504 & derivatives (6), 
but thinking about it, Camels & derivatives must be somewhere there abouts (6 
or 7)

Curious that you don't mention the Naglo! During my enforced 
modelling lay-off I looked that one up, I'd clean forgotten 
what it looked like, it's actually rather nice looking, more or
less an Albatross with 4 wings. I was mixing it up with that
British quadroplane that really is ugly.

I've got what I wanted (almost - if anybody have drawings of the "a" version
I'd still be glad to have it).
Many thanks!
