What's the scale? I like submarines very much, I'm eagerly waiting for the announced Mirage 1/400 OT U-boote. (not only because Diego wrote that I look like the U-Boot Kapitaen ;-) BTW, anybody seen "The Sounds of Music" film? The main guy, Kapitaen von Trapp was the historical person, real OT Austro-Hungarian U-Boot commander. He even sunk some important allied ship. His U-Boot was painted in deep blue to camouflage it in the shallow and the extremely clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, and had Austrian red-white-red stripes painted on the bow (similar to the British tank markings) - very cool scheme. I wonder if we ever have the normally available kit of this ship... Cheers!

I've just got the Brazilian FCM decals! Two sets of the Austrian "sworled" printed fabric, and the set of the upper and lower 5 colour lozenge. All in 1/72, of course, but there are 1/48 sets available too. You can see them in the IM http://www.internetmodeler.com/2003/february/new-releases/fcm_decals3.htm and on the producer's website. Decals looks like very high quality (although I haven't already used them), but the colours of the lozenge sheets are a bit too bright IMHO (very like the NASM "Stropp" samples). I think that these shades *may* be correct (more saturated that the average Mark's reconstruction, which was based on the 80 years old and probably very faded samples) but aestethically I prefere more "quiet" colours. Rib tapes are included. Sworl colours are much more convincing, but are also a bit bright. I think that if I be able to cover'em with the even and light mist of the tan-grey paint from my airbrush, they'll look very cool, both lozenges and sworls, although sworls can go without correction too.

A quick session of browsing the 500+ pictures was quite promising, there were some that would be useful as reference material. Especially the two Gotha engine nacelles could show some interesting details. Maybe I should invest in a new scanner to make them justice. At the moment I am working off the coast of Brasil between Ilheus and Salvador, the sea is calm and snow is not a problem.

From a simplicity of installation and ease of parts supply, a modern V-8 or V-6 can snuggle into a WWI cowling. That accounts for the popularity of S.E.5 "replicas" and makes the Brisfit an attractive option. It was a reasonable flying machine (unlike many of its contempraries) and it can carry a second person - thereby giving other list members a chance to practice with a Lewis gun! In countries like Canada, where there is a weight restriction on homebuilt aircraft, it avoids the legal complications of building Vimy or the like.
