"Red Dog" is mentioned in Jack London's books... his 19th century characters call it "Acey-Deucey" or "In-between." What is your website?

Photographed on the the very western front a mile above sea level a local fly- in. Ok it is a 1/48 scale fly - in.

Here is the most recent build in review.

Dual Combo review kit #8133

Greetings all; Sorry for the long delay... I have been experiencing sign on problems...Seems to be fixed now. Ok for the question...Corn Willy has been answered. Red Dog is in fact a fast playing card game but its origins predate WWII by about fifty years that I can trace back. Here are a couple of instructors from the 3rd Aviation Instruction Center at Issoudon France in 1918 engaged in the game. Even though it took two tries I'll spring for two free CD's from my site gents. One for each correct answer. PM with your snail mail addresses here first. Then to go to my website and choose your topic. Just send me an e-mail from there and identify yourselves.

Coming to the end of this run we make a stop in North Dallas TX. In an industrial park a quiet unassuming little place.

Thanks Stogieman for the kind words. Now on to Great Britain!

My old friends at Model Aircraft Monthly are beginning a series on WWI aircraft. Panzerman will probably recal that these grand people gave this old plugger his start into hobby magazine publishing back in 2000. Looks like their using some of my materials again. I believe that they have 4-5 more in hand.

While we are here in Merry Old England you have simply got to stop off at Hannants! They have some great kits and reasonable prices.

Greetings all; Just repairing a broken set of linksI picked up this DML Fokker Dr.I in trade. When I was finally able to crack the box I found that many of the kit parts were missing. I had to replace the interior, engine, cowling, propeller, wheels, guns, landing gear and decals from my spare parts box. I am now retouching the propeller to clean up the laminations and add more wood grain.

Here is what I had to use.

Interior = scratchbuilt.and spares from box. I also used a Copper State models seated pilot.

Cowling and Engine = uni-part from the Aerobase kit.

Propeller = DML spare.

Prop boss = Roden item skinned from a Fokker D.VII kit item.

Wheels = Eduard Albatros D.V items.

Guns = Eduard Albatros D.V items.

Ammo feeds= Blue Max white metal.

Empty belt chutes = Special Hobby Pfalz D.XII items.

Landing gear = Aeroclub = extruded brass "STRUTZ"

Rigging wire = Detail assoc. stainless steel.

Decals = Aeromaster, spare DML, Blue Max.

"A Strictly hypothetical scheme."

It was made to look like a machine that had been through several owners. We know that Jasta 18 had at least two Fokker Dr.I types in the spring / summer 1918. One airframe is unaccounted for. The unit markings were red wings and forward fuselage. White rear fuselage and tail unit. Here after transferring to another unit or units black striping was added and the early crosses overpainted. It will be a back ground item in a pending diorama. Heavily stained like some of the Jasta 12 Dr.I types turned in in August - September 1918.

Eduard just keeps pumpin em out!!! The Royal Class Fokker D.VII kit # R0002 three complete kits with 12 decal options.

Here is my review on the kit.

Greetings all; I have just received this kit and thought I would do a quick preview here before I do a review. In my opinion, The new Eduard kit is a hundred percent improvement over the former "early" slush mold issue that Eduard did back in 1992-93.

1.The exploded view instructions are great. The rest of the kit appears to be very well tooled. The average modeler can pick this kit up and get very decent results. It fills the void in the Fokker D.VIII line up left by DML / Dragon's neglect.

2. As Eduard has proven they can exceed our expectations with a kit that has almost everything the modeler could want in one box. That is great plastic with two options for wing variants, optional photoetch and precut decal lozenge and a comprehensive slick paper magazine for instructions.

3. Eduard continues to struggle with their lozenge decals colours and the four colour lozenge here is a step back from their Fokker D.VII kit decals without the speckles. back to B-

4. It provides markings for 4 colour schemes. Three of which have been available in either kit or aftermarket forms previously.

Greetings all were doing another layover in Colorado...due to snow. Here is a great little site hosted by an IPMS Judges Grand Champion winner. Derek Brown and he has some great detailing items and resin engines for sale. Mostly WWII some WWI.
