And, I don't think we would be very sympathetic with each other. I think the present forum suits well enough. There are more people to irk with our ill-tempered crabbiness and unfocused ramblings. It's the "tyranny of the elderly" thing.

You have a golden opportunity to be the first modeller in history to build all the US fighters consecutively! The Nieuport was really the "F-1" as it were since it was the first US fighter. Do a SPAD XIII and you are on your way. Just think of all those golden age bipes like the P-6E and the P-12! (Just a little ot) I was about your age in the mid 1950's when I built my first kit.

Initial reports indicate the sapper detail prepared the way by drilling an 80 cal hole in the tailpost for the rudder pin as well as distinguishing themselves with qiuck and accurate trimming of the horizontal tailplane roots to match the fuselage curve. They were followed on with the CA platoon whose unerring accuracy assured a quick and nearly invisible join with the fuselage and tailfeathers. The commander is said to be studying the Stairographical maps and planning an assault aimed at achieving the lower wings to fuselage join. sp **************************************************************************** *** There is something inherently warped about a society that forces it's modelers to work for a living. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2003 22:19:00 -0500 From: "Steven Perry" To: Subject: AEG Front Recon Photos Message-ID: <00b301c2daea$4f387e20$65a8a8c0@tampabay.rr.com> Recon flights over the front have returned and the Commander has released the following photos to the press. sp http://home.tampabay.rr.com/sperry03/TAIL_A.jpg http://home.tampabay.rr.com/sperry03/TAIL_B.jpg **************************************************************************** *** There is something inherently warped about a society that forces it's modelers to work for a living. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2003 14:48:59 +1100 From: "Ross & Wendy Moorhouse" To: Subject: RE: AEG Front Recon Photos Message-ID: <002301c2daee$8259f3c0$824c2dcb@future> Wow give the recon pilot a medal.

The photo - a frontal view of a D IIIa, taken in January 1921 - clearly shows a (white) 5 pointed star and the crescent moon, both facing to the front, under the lower wing. Difficult to interprete more, but the stripes under the top wing *might* indicate lozenge, whereas the fuselage definitely looks dark in color. The D IIIa wing photo in Palestine definitely shows silbergrau wings.

There are only 49 completed models on my shelf, not 50. Of these 7 are from injection moulded kits, 8 are from resin kits and the balance are from vacform kits. Yes, I do prefer vacs, why do you ask? 2. Actually you were served Bouf Bourguignon wih Kidneys, but you cannot expect someone from North of the river to appreciate the finer points of cooking. :-) 3. Don't worry about it Michael, memory is the first thing to start to fail as old age sets in. :-) And now for something completely different. As some of you know I have been decidely unwell for a very long time, but now a magic pill of multi vitamins and other minerals and salts has given me back my interest in modelling. The down side is, they haven't improved my skills and neither have they cured my chronic shortage of breath. But at least I am back building, on the bench now are an AD 'Arrow' Scout and a Sopwith Tabloid. Both vacs, naturally. Maybe later on I may be able to update my site.
