I've heard of the old standard of Krylon used to prime vacs and resin...but understanding the nature of paint (novice view) isn't auto primer designed to "expand" to fill small imperfections, while primers for military and fantasy figures, such as Mr. Surfacer and Citadel are designed to "shrink" so not as to fill in small detail??

The problems involved in designing an aircraft, even given the accumulated knowledge of a century, (and advanced engines and props) that the builders had were informative, and the 'fly off' was really fun to watch.

The British were experimenting with chutes during the war, but the systems developed involved actual modifications to the plane. Probably, study of the German pilots chutes changed the whole system, but after the war. And yes, some elderly British General has been 'quoted' as saying that parachutes would make pilots jump (he assumed presumably, rather than fight) but that line may be part of the legend. Eddie Rickenbacker, when he tried to get the US Army to form a flying unit of race car drivers, was told "you wouldn't want pilots to know too much about engines or machinery" because it might make them reluctant to engage in battle, (as if a pilot with a screwed up engine is anything but a casualty, anyway). The mental leaps required for 19th century minds were just too far, the differences between a horse and a machine, or a musket and a machine gun, were simply beyond most of the minds of those in charge (as if the whole military conduct of the war is not ample illustration) -- Merrill Your Madness May Vary ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2003 19:54:53 +0000 From: "Michael Kendix" To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: Vickers on the SE5a Message-ID: Somehow my SE5a question turned into a discussion about German parachutes.

I called my friend on the Heritage committe and went to borrow a heat gun from him ... while there he said the April 4/5 date isn't fixed in stone and could even be two weeks later. .. oh wait, that's Easter and he will be gone then, so it is now moved back to the following week - April 11/12 ... Upon arriving home I heard the sound of running water. .. a dash to the downstairs washroom confirmed that the water is indeed back on. I think what did it was leaving the house, and a friend of mine dropping off a 20L jug of purified water . So, anyone coming for the grand unveiling, I can offer a shower as well now.
