Hi, Mark, thanks for your comment. I'm watching your Rumpler's process videos. I've been posting a lot of videos, it must take much time to see them all, and I don't think my videos are useful to refer, because there is no process image. If you have any question, leave a comment. I already built 2 Rumpler C.4 of WNW, and still have one kit (laugh I'm looking forward to your finishing your Rumpler.

Why don't you build a WWI airplane?

@@gatoneco I wish I had time! I prefer admire yours! 😊😊

Thanks, every time!

Thanks! This winter camouflage version looks nice, does'nt it?

Yes, I think it's a impressive coloring too.

この機体は，終戦後に武装解除されたゲーリングの機体です。

Hi. This D.7 is the unarmed plane of H.Göring after 1919.

私の場合，塗料はほぼ全ての色を自身で調色しています。ローゼンジは4色と5色で色合いが違いますし，夜間用と昼間用，陸軍と海軍とでも違います。また，ロールアウト時の色に関しては，今でも議論が絶えません。また，図形の並び方も，縦・横・斜めなどが機種によって違います。

Thanks for your comment. Why don't you try one?

@gatoneco I've started one, but got to where I had to start worrying about the rigging and realized I was probably going to screw it up. I wanted to find a cheaper one to do first if I was possibly going to have to dumpster the whole thing. I've been on a break from modelling for a bit recently though.

@@jameshall1300 What plane are you building now? A kit from WNW? According to my experience, I think WNW is the easiest kit to build for a builder who isn't familiar with WWI planes. Eduard or Roden is far much harder. I recommend you use a small heaton (eye bolt/screw eye) to set the riggings. Using a turnbuckle from GasPatch Models is good way too, but expensive. [How to make a heaton] I added the URL on the description of this video. My pages are Japanese, but I guess you understand the outline how to make a heaton with those photos. Take a look at from the 2nd to 5th photos on the page after jumped. The core metal rod of "?" shape is φ0.3mm brass or nickel-silver. In my case I use a copper line of an electric circuit for the heaton. Because of using a thick copper line in order to take photos, actually the diameter of the line on the photo is too thick for both 1/48 and 1/32 models. A finer one is better. c.f. the 5th photo. [How to use the heaton and put the rigging] Drill a hole of 1~1.5mm depth with φ0.3~0.4mm drill on the wings, then put the heatons above with CA glue. Then path the line into the heaton hole, then wreathe and glue with 2 sets of fine tweezers. It may be better using stretch rigging like EZ line if this is the first time for you to put rigging. It' not difficult. I believe you can do it, if your eyes are fine, but before you set to your model, you might practice with a piece of plastic board or something. Incidentally, I'm always thinking that the biggest purpose of building a model is not to see the finished beautiful shape, but to enjoy the process of cut-and-try with the imaginative and creative idea. You don't need to be nervous. This is just a hobby. Let's enjoy all the process. Failure always teaches next success. Don't throw it away. I'm looking forward to you post someday your WWI plane. 🤡😻

@gatoneco it was actually an Eduard kit, just one out of production for a long time I didn't want to screw up. I'll probably snag a WNW kit sometime soon. From what I've seen the instructions and such are a lot more clear than what I was working with too.

@@jameshall1300 I rewrote my former comment. Please check up. The biggest problem, I think of early kits of Eduard is the instruction, showing the position of parts, specially the position of riggings is unclear. In case of Roden, adding the quality of their kit itself (laugh But now...WNW kit became too expensive. Take it easy, and just try and finish current one anyway !

Hi Mark. It's becoming cold in Japan. How about there? This plane is too simple to enjoy it as a model, but I like this grass camouflage.

リリエンタールに触発されたハンガリーのエトリッヒの設計によって，1910年頃には完成していた機体で，当時としては，フランスのブレリオXIと並んで，まともに飛ぶ飛行機として人気があり，ルンプラー社がライセンスを無視してパクったのに怒ったエトリッヒは，係争の途中で，ライセンスを無償公開したため，ドイツの十数社でマイナーチェンジされた機体が製造されています。ちなみに，エトリッヒは，ハンザ・ブランデンブルグ社の創設者で，その主任設計技師は，後に有名となるハインケルでした。エトリッヒは，1967年まで存命でした。 確かに優美な機体ですね。名前が鳩なので，一見鳥を見本に作られたと思われがちですが，実は，熱帯産のハネフクベ（＝Zanonia Alsomitra Macrocarpa）という高木の大きな実にできる「空飛ぶ種」を模したものと言われて居ます。この種は滑空性能が高く，木から落ちて上手く風に乗ると，時に数kmを飛行するそうです。この種は，日本でも通販で買えます。 １次大戦前の1911年の伊土戦争で，史上初の軍用機として，史上初の爆撃（手榴弾）を行った機体として記録されています。当時は，国際協定で，飛行船からの爆撃は禁止されていましたが，「これは飛行船ではない」という理屈で協定違反を免れたそうです。と言っても，実質的な被害はなかったようですが，戦意を喪失させるインパクトはあったと言われています。 元々軍事用としては不向きだった機体は，1914年の開戦時には，既に時代遅れな機体となっていたので，実戦ではあまり活躍していません。 青島での対日本戦に関してはよく知りません。

Thanks for your comment. You're building this kit. I'm happy to hear that! I think this is one of the best kits from WNW. Specally the thinness of the trailing edge of the main wing is icredible, isn't it? Also in my case, I used line similar to fishing line (Japanes company's MODELKASTEN/black 0.2mm) for the reinforcement wires, and used strech rigging (probably Korean company's INFINI Model/black 0.135mm), which is like EZ line, for the control cables. About the finishing of the wires, I believe that's one of good ways how to express a turnbuckle. Twisted the end of the wire, padded CA-glue a bit around the twisted part to fat. Sometimes I also use metal turnbuckles from Gas Patch for German planes, but their expensive. So that, I usually use my previous way, specially for all of the British planes. Because of some of the struts of this kit was too thin, I broke one strut of the horizontal stabilizer.🙀😿🤡

Thanks!

Thanks Mark. By the way, one of my friends in my university days who has lived for about 40 years in Philadelphia, temporarily came back to Japan to visit his son who serves in Iwakuni base as a pilot. I remmber the base you were is Iwakuni too. Isn't it? About a couple of weeks ago, I was in Yokohama to meet him. It's been 40 years we hadn't seen, but friendship hasn't been changed same as then, but he lost his wife (American) last year. Time goes by quickly and mercilessly.

@@gatoneco Hi PN. I wasn't in the military and I was in Tokyo for 3 years because of my job in finance--I worked for Chase Manhattan Bank, and lived in Shirokanedai near the Institute for Nature Study. That was from 1986 to 1989. Yes, time goes by quickly and mercilessly.

@@markfrommontana Oh, sorry. It was my misconception. You were a banker. Why did I take it so....

イタレリのキットは元々出来が良いのですが，このキットは，特に高品質でしたね。 その部分はエッチングです。他にも配管や後部のタンクやコクピット周りなど，セミスクラッチで仕上げました。ドリーの車輪も追加しました。 土台は百均のポップボードに敷石状に筋を入れ，バスコークで作った海を少し配しました。模型よりも木枠を作るのが一番大変でしたｗ マイアーレは，日本海軍の回天とは異なり，コレに乗って敵船近づき，弾頭部を艦底に仕掛けて逃げるという戦法だったようですね。外洋ではまともに進まないでしょうから，穏やかな地中海の湾内で行動したみたいです。

Hi Red. Thanks!

Sometimes I add weathering, but it's just in extremely rare cases. I prefer in the condition of roll out.

Thanks for visiting. It was so hard to paint those markings, specially on the fuselage, I started over three times... painting, washing out with thinner to take off the paint, repainting..., these successful photos are the third painting.

@@gatoneco I can imagine, shakey brush tips, finger smudges, dust and curved surfaces do not help. Can you believe, it was the creative gorgeous color schemes on German WW1 biplanes in a book my fighter pilot grandfather had in his library, that got me passionate about airplanes as a kid? He's dead, everything of his is sold away and gone, but I still have the book. th-cam.com/video/MwViS4SfQSg/w-d-xo.html As a kid I only had a vague idea my dad was an air traffic controller, and no idea at all my granddad had been a pilot for 40 years, until my grandmother died and he had nothing else to do with his life than search out his old war buddies. Then I learned later, from a German relative who was a glider pilot visiting America, that I even had a German uncle in the Luftwaffe. My other grandfather drove a motorcycle as a message courier in WW2 in the Wehrmacht German Regular Army. He was a lot like me in demeanor. I've been driving a motorcycle for 20 years now. The local airport here has a silver Nieuport 11 Bebe forgotten in the back, collecting dust in a hanger two guys built.

@@choppergirl You're German aren't you? Oh, your Granpa was a fighter pilot. Of WW1 or WW2? The Invasion Stripes in WW2 term were painted to identify friend or foe, but the stripes on this D.IIIa is just a personal design. The color schemes and the personal marks on the fuselages on German WW1 planes are fun, and I enjoy them to draw. I seldom build WW2 planes, but how about this? th-cam.com/video/PD8pd5saBPI/w-d-xo.html When I was young, I wandered Latin America from LA USA to Ushuaia Argentin and back for 18 months (70,000km) by motorcycle. I like to ride, thoug recently I quit riding.

@@gatoneco My mom is German. The Invasion Stripes were for D-Day only to identify friendly Allied Aircraft that probably had control of the skies, but of course you knwo that.. WW1 color schemes were squadron markings for personal expression and branding, but you know this too. The Germans to their their pilots like rock stars and let them paint anything once they reached a level of noteriety, which appealed to me. They were pretty like colorful butterflies. As a kid, I only had a vague idea they were used in a gangsta war as k ll ing machines. I have three ultralight full sized planes and spent a lot of my own time designing a color scheme for them :-) In bright neon dayglo colors that would blow your eyeballs out. The red of the Red Barron's plane x 1000. Hey look at me, I'm the best, come after me if you dare ;-) I fly highly aerobatic FPV quadcopters and I don't fly, I dance in the air. To music :-) Keep up the good work, your models look great. I look forward to seeing more of them.

I'm glad to hear your comment. Yes, you're right, I'm not a human. I'm a cat as my name says. "PINE NECO" means "Pineapple Cat" in Japanese. I know there are a lot of much more skilled modelers than I. I still have a long way to go.

Thnak you for watching and for your comment.

Thanks for visiteing my channel. They seldom bother my work, but one day, the younger sister black cat squashed a plane by chance. When I fixed it, her brother black cat helped me. The captions are in Japanes, so if you don't understand Japanese, please take a look at the Photos on the following page. ocoze.net/pulamo/biff-repair/biff-repair.html

I built 2 D.12 in the same color scheme, because I liked this coloring.

Thanks!! I'm glad if you like this one.

彩雲雷鳴さん，こんにちは。 ファルツD.12のキットは，私の知る限り，1/72ではTOKOとEastan Expressから出てます。かなり古いインジェクションでは，Merlin Modelsからも出ていた気がします。 1/48はBlue Max，Tom's Modelworks（レジン），Copper State USA（レジン），Special Hobbyなど多数が，四半世紀以上前に発売されています。 幾つかはいまでも中古で入手可能だと思います。 フォッカーD.7を真似たラジエターにしたものの，薄翼は強度的にフォッカーに劣り，そのせいで翼間支柱を2径間にすることで対応しています。 カギ十字は太古の昔から，右廻りとか左周りとかのバリエーションもあって，世界の各地の文明で採用されていますが，現ドイツでは，非常にセンシティブな問題で，法律で厳しく取り締まられていますね。

HI, Mark. Thanks for your information.

Thanks for visiting. This is a simple and good kit.

Thank you! I hope so.

Thanks for your comment. I'll build the same kit in the condition of open cowlings. A new 1/32 kit is released recently as 3D kit, but pretty expensive.

Thanks!

Thanks! I built nearly all (about 70 works) the Wingnut Wings kits. I hope you also try those videos on my channel. 40 planes in 1/48 too.

彩雲雷鳴さん，お久しぶりのコメントありがとうございます。日本でも有名なキャメルですが，珍しい夜間戦闘機仕様に仕上げました。この塗装の機体は，50機ほどあったようです。 胴体の羽布は，どの機体も１箇所で縫い合わせてあるようですね。フランス機は腹のところに縫い目があります。英国機の場合には側面で縫い合わされていますね。 腹にある方が美的にはいいですが，結構被弾して破れたり，中の骨材や操縦索がやられることもあるので，メンテが面倒そうです。質実剛健，実用性重視の英国では，見た目が悪くても横にあるんでしょうね。お国柄の違いでしょうか。 その動画のコメントの「胴体のリブが右側だけしか無い」というのは意味不明です。元々胴体にはリブはありません。リブというのは翼にある「かまぼこ型の部材」のことです。 胴体羽布は，形状を展開して形に合わせて裁断した布をグルッと巻いて，１箇所で縫ってあるだけです。風圧が大きく掛かる翼の羽布は木製のリブに縫い付けてありますが，胴体には被せてあるだけです。 機体の構造や装備に関しては，こちらの自著に詳しく解説してあります。現在手持ち在庫が売り切れ来週半ばに追加で入荷予定ですので，興味がお有りでしたらどうぞ。来週半ば以降に，ヤフオクで著者名か本のタイトルで検索すれば出ると思います。下はサンプルと内容説明です。該当する著書は「飛行機の発展とその裏事情（序巻）」です。 ocoze.net/hon/hon-Top.html 1/48のキットではこの縫い目は殆ど省略されており，昔は社外のエッチングパーツがあったのですが，人気がない第１次大戦機のこと，最近は見掛けませんね。なので1/48のフランス機には，腹にあって目立たないということで，私も殆ど再現していません。幾つか再現して作った機体があったと記憶していますが，覚えていません。ちなみに私は，1/48では英国機は作りません。

キャメルは，速度こそ互角でしたが，上昇力や到達高度に秀で，特に，運動性ではこの時期のドイツ軍の主力戦闘機であったアルバトロスD.IIIやD.Vより格段に優れていました。 操縦の難しい機体だったのでパイロットの技量にもよりますが，つまり，この頃になると，空中戦ではほぼ敵なしだったようです。 局地戦闘機として配備されたこの機体は，夜間に侵入してくるドイツ軍機の迎撃に出た際，敵機よりも，友軍機や地上からの自軍の高射砲の誤射を防ぐために，見やすい色にしたのではないかと思われます。

Hi, Mark. Thanks for coming. It's becoming cool around here at last. Basically I prefer to see a plane alone to enjoy its beautiful shape which is in a role out condition, so that I seldom add weathering. But to say the truth, I love a diorama too, and according to my idea, a model in a diorama should be weathered. For these reasons, I don't like to put an aviation intto a diorama. At my feeling, a submarine and maybe a AFV models which are wethered will best fit dioramas without doub. I'll up S.L.C 200 Maiale, a Italian midget sub, with a vignette on　November 1st. Come again to check it out. U-VII was a great submarin, it goes without saying. I of couse have a Revell 1/72 kit and resin interior option patrs from CMK, and I prepared a acrylic, but leave it for more than decade. I myself hope someday seeing the model rounded out. Your Camel is almost finishing, isn't it? The double wiring must be the last wall, and will take your time. I'll up my night fighter version of Camel from WnW next Friday.

Thank you for watching. I also like submarines, especially midget subs. I also like jet planes from1945 to early 1960's especially trainer jets. May be steampunk vehicle too. Come to see my next WWI palne. I hope you'd come again to see my old and next WWI palne videos.

Thanks! I repainted the figures after shooting.

Sorry, that's not my favor.

Thank you for watching. The title of the videos was wrong. This is not 1/144, but 1/72. Now corrected. There once existed a limited version with 1/24 Akiko figure. Search for 4967834522183 on eBay, and you'll easily find some, but expensive. If you can buy from Japan, it must be much cheaper. As this version is rare, it's a little difficult to find even in Japan, but not impossible. Good luck, and model on!

Thanks!

Thanks. Yes, I saw his video. It's beautifully finished, isn't it? He's on a Camel now. I finished one last month. In the near future, I'll up its video. Please come to see that then. I like Roland D.VI too. I've built 4 of this plane in 1/32 and 3 in 1/48 (laugh This is the 3rd one of 1/32. 1/32 another one th-cam.com/video/hynmxkVJd18/w-d-xo.html 1/48 Roland D.VIa th-cam.com/video/gM3YkjXazX8/w-d-xo.html

Thanks Mark.

Only the kit is just amazing.

Hi Mark, how are you doing? This spoked wheel is hand-made by Steven Robson from Australia. I met him in a certain web-forum about WWI. He's a very excellent modeler.

Thanks. Watch the wheel.

Hi. Peter. The wheel was made by an Australian modeler.

Thank you!

That's my way...

Thanks. Salmson 2A2 is one of most important and famous plane in French army at that time.
