| Thanks guys. It is nice to still be here, especially as I seem none the worse
for wear. Every day of the twilight years is a new and exciting adventure! |

| Sorry to hear that Mr.O, but happy that you are recovering well. Some of the stuff does make us realign our priorities. Be well. |

| I'm glad that you are on top of things John - keep it (?) up!!!"! Be thinking of you - looking forward to more "super" models from you when you are ready! Take care! |

| Mr G. The Baboon is still on the modeling table and in production. I had a stroke a few days before last Christmas. Fortunately I was very lucky. Only in the hospital for three days. In 24 hrs I returned to normal and was set free. Now I have a neurologist and a cardiologist. If my condition remains stable both physicians will cut me loose in about 6 months. I have dodged the bullet yet again. As such, building model aero planes is not very high on my life list. Cutting meadows, spending time in the garden, being with Willie, my Lab, have priority. I have been giving models away to friends and family. May use some as targets! Possibly I will finish the Baboon in winter but the thought of building wings again is repulsive. Monotony at it’s highest level! |

| I like this model very much - are you still building John? |

| outstanding job on an historically crucial airplane!!!
beautiful craftsmanship.
It is part of the reward of this hobby I think, the information we collect over the years doing the reading and research on these subjects and the people who designed, built and flew them. Great work, John - a terrific scale model |

| I had forgotten about Zipcode the American DH4variant. I was afraid that I was remiss in my airscrew rotation. American DH4 aircraft use a Liberty engine and rotated anticlockwise viewed from the front. British DH 4 planes utilized a Rolls Royce Eagle power plant with a clockwise rotation. Learn some tidbits every day and I am happy to not have to rebuild airscrews. I had forgotten that I had fabricated a four bladed prop in the past. A mind is such a precious thing to lose! |

| Ahoy John thanks My man I hope you are mending well and the old Gams are getting better so you can stand up and build. Yep I decided to make her a mail plane I like the post war civillian colors better then the military paint schedule. Boats |

| Boats, a Dumas DH-4 mail plane....what a great idea! |

| Mr. Oshust, yesterday I had posted a question on one of your pics for this aircraft regarding the amount of time it took to sheet and/or plank a model versus just using tissue. I love the quality of finish you and the other pros get when using this technique and I would like to give it a whirl. I noticed that my comment made it to the home page for a moment and then vanished. I can no longer find the pic that it went with either. I thought I would mention this since it was one of your pics that disappeared from the site. Probably just a glitch with the website. Anyway, my question to you and the other fine folk on this site is how do you size and cut the planking and what kind of time is involved? I know Mr. Duckett answered a similar question some time back but I could not locate the post it was in. This site is great, everyone seems more than happy to share their ideas and techniques with each other and I think that makes for a very productive website. Ogromnoe Spasibo! |

| I am slowly learning from looking at all these beautiful pics. I have noticed a common thread amongst the pros on this site, in that you, Mr. Duckett, Mr. Poppy, Scigs 30, and all the other master builders either use silkspan and/or planking/sheeting to cover your planes. These techniques obviously produce a higher quality surface to finish. What the pictures don't tell is how much time it takes to cover a model like this. So, if you don't mind, how long does it take to sheet a plane or fill in the spaces with planking? Is there a trick to cutting all those planks? I know Mr. Duckett spoke on how he does his planking, but I couldn't find the post. I have a gullow's hellcat and a Blackhawk Army Scout C/L to finish, but after they are done I want to tackle a planked or sheeted aircraft and would really appreciate any advice or tips you and the others here can offer. Ogromnoe Spasibo! |

| I found, what I guess you found, color an option of the pilot. This color is close to a reproduction DH-4 that I found on the net. Someone gave me a qt as a present, so I used it! |

| I just looked around on the net and found the information I wanted. Thanks anyway! AWA |

| I thought all mail planes were military colors. Is this purple correct? I plan to do a DH4 mail plane next and I hope this isn't the only color choice. Would you share your sources with me? |
