Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

Latest Acquisitions

The Mount of Aces is soft cover 160 pages. Starts with ancestry through production, squadron use, foreign users, problems, and after the war. A fair number of pictures including the frame and engine and then in use. I haven't read it yet to be able to say more. I got mine on ebay but the publisher is Fonthill Media. Its available in ereader formats as well. ISBN is 978-1-78155-288-9. Hope that is of some help.

Balsa Foam? Do tell :popcorn

Yeah Balsa Foam,think it's also known as Jiffy Foam.
Breveco in the NL is the importing company in Europe from this stuff that comes from the U.S,they had a stand at the Twenot show,so I got me some.
It's perfect for making your own houses and streets.

Here's a video so you can see how easy this material is to work with.

Been using a Foredom tool that belonged to my mom who did woodcarvings. Very powerful tool, but you are tethered to the motor.

Got this baby today from the LHS and tested it out. I'm in love with it.



More wood for finishing up my Flattie. Some mahogany, cherry in 1/32" and some very small basswood, plus two packs of really tiny brass nails.

Got the new A7V by Meng today. Looks pretty cool and has full interior. Also the new book on Royal Prussian Jagdstaffel 30. Some schemes I want to do already. Finally a friend on another site is completely redoing the Mercedes engines by WNWs. He redid the cylinders for the III and IIIa engines and made an oil pump. I got one set of each although I should have gotten two oil pumps. They are printed by Shapeways and for sale. He is also making a 5 piece magneto. I'll get some of those also. These are awesome and I cant wait to build one and use the Taurus cams etc also.
