The 1/24th scale Meng Fokker Dr.1 kit comes with both Heine and Axial propellers. You could post a wanted advertisement on this website or www.ww1aircraftmodels.com

PETG clear plastic sheet will not yellow like acetate after a period of years. PETG is available in a wide range of thicknesses. It is also an excellent material for vacuum forming canopies.

If you would like to see the Avro 504 also produced in 1/48th scale, send an email to Roden at [email protected]

There are some 3D printed resin 1/48th scale kits made by Clay-More. A bit pricey but subjects not available anywhere else. www.clay-more.com

1/48th scale injected molded WWI kits by Gaspatch Models and Copper State Models are nearly equivalent in detail and fit to larger Wingnut kits. For rigging tutorials, there is a section titled "Rigging for Everyone" on www.ww1aircraftmodels.com

MRP produces quality acrylic lacquer paints in WWI shades such as PC-8 MRP251, early PC-10 MRP252, late PC-10 MRP MRP253, and PC-12 MRP254. Packaged in 30ML bottles.

An alternative method is to make your own control horns with the upper and lower horns being connected. Cut the right and left sides of the horns from ,005 or .010 sheet styrene. Bend some very fine stiff wire (tempered .003 inch diameter stainless steel) with two sharp ninety degree bends. Cement the right and left halves together with the wire sandwiched in between. Saw a slot into the aileron, rudder, or elevator and cement in place. Insert the ends of the wire into drilled holes. This method is much stronger than cementing an individual control horn to just the surface as there is very little contact area.

Might have been featured in a magazine or book.

I highly recommend both R.E.P. Type F in Royal Serbian Air Force and Duks in Royal Serbian Air Force. These feature detailed three view drawings along with many color drawings of all sections of the airplanes. Plenty of information to construct an accurate model. The two books are the first ones in a series. Available from Amazon.

I recommend purchasing French Aces of WWI volumes one and two published by Aeronaut. Volume two H to Z has eight color profiles of George Felix Madon's aircraft. These are Bleriot 11, Farman MF 11, Nieuport 17, two Spad 7's, Spad 12, Spad 13, and Nieuport Monoplane.

For the yellow/beige (ecru) scheme, enamel was used on metal and wood components while dope was used on fabric surfaces. The surrounding white ring on the fuselage indicates a color other than doped ecru. Maybe battleship grey enamel on forward fuselage. Easy enough to add a bit of black dope to readily available white dope to make a suitable grey. Really needs some recorded mention of grey or other colour to be certain.

It is impractical to cast resin for one or two parts. You need tin cured silicone rubber and catalyst, sulphur free bedding clay, urethane resin that has both strength and sufficient pot life before it begins to thicken, vacuum pump for degassing, and sometimes a compressor if pressurizing the poured resin is necessary to force it into small cavities (example: cooling fins on rotary engine cylinders). If you decide to make multiple castings, a very good book is Secrets of Expert Mold Making and Resin Casting by Karl Juelch. Available through Amazon. An important factor to prevent warping in parts with thin cross sections is heat curing the castings. The book shows the use of a group of incandescent light bulbs for the heat source but I would suggest using a pail or drum heat band with a built-in thermostat.

I also recommend the Albatros Publication's Windsock Fokker Eindecker Compendium volumes one and two for documentation.

Not a type K but a type F is similar in appearance. I highly recommend R.E.P. Type F in Royal Serbian Airforce. This book has many useful photographs, three view plans, drawings of the framework plus other components, and color information.
