The hardest decals to do on it were the Airfix ones which were truly terrible...didn't like setting solution, curled and broke on every opportunity, and were very hard to settle. It is the aircraft of Lt GCT Haldrill of 54 Sqn, shot down by Werner Voss and made prisoner in May 1917. I wanted to do a Canadian subject because, apart from Collishaw, Canadian subjects seem a bit under-represented even though they made up a significant proportion of RFC pilots.

You'd think with a Datafile Special and the Squadron In Action books I'd have sufficient information and be able to figure it out myself. I decided that the kit's shelf thing that sits just aft of the instrument panel and goes around the front and sides of the cockpit was too small and didn't reach back far enough. I decided to make a new one that did and am re-doing that part of the model. I'm wondering about using the kit window at this stage for the window that lets light into the instrument panel area of the cockpit. Perhaps I'll use that liquid window-making stuff - can't remember what it's called now but I havesome on the shelf. >From: "NEIL EDDY" >One of the better late-middle period Carry Ons IMHO.

Hmmm... what about the movie "The Club" - shows Australian Football "culture" - hilarious! Didn't the team in that film wear black & white too? Why do they call it football if you're allowed to hold it, punch it (as long as you punch your opponent at the same time of course), and throw it? Don't get me started.

Re "The Club" - Interestingly, that film/play was based somewhat on Collingwood's history in the 1970's. Good AFL Football is poetry in motion...far more fun than the Tottie Spurs and that bunch, though The World Cup is one of my favourite sporting events. (Premier League leaves me cold...'cept for The Hammers) Back to the Se5a: Many of the photos I have seen show the clear panel as being somewhat cloudy, whether that is a product of age I don't know. Are you including the flare rack and Webley holder/holster that are on the upper port side of the cockpit?

And special thanks to Shane Weier who had given me with his Aviatik the last kick to try the camo with a sponge. Now to your question Pedro. I started with the 4 cabane struts. When the glue was set I put the top wing on and managed to get the tops of the cabane struts in the gap of the top wing (from front ist looks like: --/\--) -- = wing, /\ = cabane struts. I know this is not 100% correct but it works fine and hold the top wing on ist place without the wing struts. The wing struts then where clipsed in their positions. Over the top wing looking parts of the cabane struts where cut off and hidden with the tank.

Yes it works well, but it is very fragile when used for windows. I prefer a patch of clear decal material. If the area around the window is Futured, the decal material will stick down and you won't know it's there.

The main problem is short shelf life, once opened, you have about six months to use it up, and even unopened, after a year or so, they start to go bad, so buy the smallest size you can get. I have made literally dozens of copies of engines, seats, wheels, props (all 1/72) for detailing 'on the cheap' back when detail parts were hard to come by. There are a couple of 'sets' for casting, they should be available from Squadron, Hannants, etc, 'Ace' marketed a set with its own RTV and resin, that's how I got started, another that's around is Alumalite (sp?)

Actually, there are a lot of similarities... Getting involved in another country's problems to control the spread of communism... But I digress on an already nearly ot post. Here is a short paragraph that had me chuckling over lunch today... "...Because he had little faith in bombing runs, he proposed to perform, under fighter cover, a landing of three Sopwiths onto the Red airfield! The crews would then run to the tent-hangers and set fire to them using torches and cans of benzene. After this was completed another flight of the Sopwiths and DH-9's would drop 250-pound bombs on any standing buildings. In spite of the risk, the British accepted..." Well, even the best laid plans go awry, and as you could guess, this one did too. Some of the planes broke down en route and they decided to just strafe the airfield. I have to wonder if that was the real reason for the modification or if the crews had a change of heart. Not that I blame them. Heck, they weren't Aussies! Lots of Nieuports, Sopwiths, Avros and Dh's in this book. Later!

Ultrasil (RTV) is costing me around A$30 for a 0.5 kg kit ($52 for 1kg) and resin (Barnes Procast) around $40 per 1kg kit And at the moment I'm using a lot of it.
