Hey guys, When you change the subject how about changing the subject line on the message? Dusters ain¹t Zeppelins and cooking chickens in Diet Coke ain¹t ...
Alain, Michael et al, It strikes me that logic would dictate that the wing aft of the box spar, including the ailerons and the rudder and elevators would also...
Dear Bill, I wasn¹t clear enough. The files are for reference material not bound into books, magazines or journals; those would be filed as regular library ...
Dear Gerry, My personal estimate, based on selling three collections, is about $4.75 average per kit. That includes those old Airfix and Frog kits that you ...
Dear Claudio, Jon, John, Michael and others. Here is a color side profile that we have prepared of the Tunison Scout and maybe some color debate should ensue. ...
Hi Jim, I had another look at the photo attached. The rudder seems to have an uniform light colour. The wing aft of the box spar except the ailerons is...

Hi Jim, Sönke and everybody, I have joined an attachment containing a photo which puzzles me (the lower right one). It is the best photo I have found showing...

Bonjour Michel, Thanks for your colour analysis. I am particularly interested by the Farman 190 colour livery since the aircraft is among the 'top five' of my...
Michel - What are F-AJYZ and F-AIYD, and what is the significance of the name Columbia on the nose of the latter? These old French aircraft fascinate me, as so...
Jim - I think you're a little on the low side. I've just sold 16 kits for £116.33. That equals £7.27 per kit, but includes postage, so I'd reckon on the...
Alain - Though your photo shows the rudder in white, this was taken in the factory, and they could easily have painted the rudder during completion of the...
Thanks John: The pump and fan nomenclatures are a big help, all I need now is a photo or plan showing the pump and dispersal vent setup mounted on the fuselage...
Alain - I'd think that virtually everyone who is interested in the colouring of ancient civil aeroplanes is in this group already, so if our collective wisdom...

Hi Bill The aircraft bearing the registrations F-AJYZ and F-AIYD are Nieuport-Delage NiD-391 which were used by the Compagnie Aérienne Française. One...
Bill, if you´re thinking of lozenge fabric, that was factory-printed, not painted. Sönke Bill Matthews <billmatthews@...> wrote: Alain - Though your...
Hi Alain, you´re right, in the lower right picture the wing surface looks quite uniform. But when you look at the upper right picture, you can see that the...
Bonsoir Alain, I have no information on the colour used for the name FARMAN on civil aircrafts: no Farman instruction, no colour photography for the time...
Dear Claudio, Jon, John, Michael and others. (I thought I would resend this as people have had problems getting the attachments. Let me know if it doesn't...

Hi Sönke, I agree with you that the E.4/20 rudder was a (pale) clear doped linen not white. It was a lapsus. As to the size of the wing leading edge, it...
Hi Rosie, A belated "Welcome Aboard!" to both of you, &.... I've been meaning to ask, how many women ARE members of WoP? I knew one lady in Anchorage who built...
Hi Lars Thanks for your interest in the issue of massive gender imbalance. Three are probably more female astronauts than female modelers!) I have quite a few...

Bonsoir Michel, I share your opinion, the name Farman on the nose of the F-190 was most probably red. I have joined a photo of the F-192 which is presently...

Dear Rosie, In your last message you wrote:[There are probably more female astronauts than female modelers.]. Well I have seen the Canadian astronaut Julie...
Hi Alain, I have nothing helpful to add to this; only the observation that top surfaces of wings, well-lit & photographed from oblique angles, sometimes look...
Rosie - Your thoughts are very interesting, but just to throw a slight spanner into your works, the three kits that I mentioned had been bought by women were...

Hi Larry I would imagine that dolls and doll houses would have a good connection with 1:12 scale figures, which incidentally I have never made. The paper...
