Here is my build of the Roden 1/48 Nieu. 28 in the Glancoe kit decals. This is the kit I added the Part of Poland interior to and cutaway part of the fuselage to see the finished work. Later I went back and added black to the wing strut tips.

Here is my build of the Roden 1/48 Nieu. 28 in the Glancoe kit decals. This machine was repro-ed for the USAF Museum as a 95th Aero bird. But we have an image of it in a 27th Aero line up. The kicking mule seems to be absent and possibly over painted. The theory is that was the mount of Major Harold Hartney commander at this time of the 27th Aero.

From the awards, a noncommissioned officer, so that could be tough. Also, despite the Hungarian names, which of the successor states did he actually end up living in after 1918...Scans of most of these awards can be found pictured down in the Central Powers subforum by typing in a search on the names of the awards.

Sincerest thanks Rick Research;

I may post this off to the individual in question tonight. Panzerman speaks very highly of you. Glad to hear from you. StephenLawson

Steve, Glad you made it. Fantastic work!! I've had the pleasure of seeing a few of these beauties in the flesh.

For you guys interested in WWI aviation, Steve is not only an award winning modeler, but has had works published concerning WWI aviation. Is it mostly German aviators Steve?? I hope you'll buzz by the WWI section too. I know you have a great deal of knowledge in this area. Talk to you soon, Jim

Greetings Panzerman, Very glad to be here. Zum Wohl and Prost!

Greetings all;

Recently I have had contact with a fellow looking for his father. Since the Austro-Hungarian empire is not my strong suit I though maybe the information might spark some interest here. We are evidently looking for information on a fellow assigned to the landbased K.U.K. Navy

"Dear Sir, I am trying to secure records concerning my father, Frank (Ferenc) Bakay who served in World War I.

Date of Birth: May 18, 1888

Place of Birth: Budapest, Hungary (Austria)

Military Service:

Austrian-Hungary Navy 1910 - 1914

Austrian-Hungary Air Force 1914 - 1918

Military Medals awarded in Triest, Hungary (Austria) 1916

Karl Truppenkreux (Karl Cross) for all troops (Austrian)

6 yrs. long service cross

Large Silver Bravery Medal 1st Class

Commemoration Cross (Balkan Crisis) 1912-1913

These are the medals (with attached ribbons) that I am trying to locate. Replicas or originals will be considered.

I would appreciate if you could obtain any information on my father's war records. These medals were obtained under the Order Nr. 47/1916 issued at December 18, 1916 by the K.U.K. Navy Headquarters. My father was stationed at Naval Air Force base in Triest, Austria.

I look forward to hearing from you."

Greetings all;

Your forum was recommended to me by a friend. I build WWI Aviation subjects in 1/48 scale and am the archivist to the Lafayette Foundation. Non profit organization that proliferates the study of WWI aviation. Here are some links where my builds can be found.
