October’s Business Meeting:

By Jason Rothgeb

October's meeting saw an attendance of thirty-one members and two guests.  The main business item was a reminder of the December Five Favorite contest.  The guidelines for the contest are a People's Choice format.  Every contest entrant votes for the five display pieces that they like the most.  Contest participation is not limited to DVSM members, and club guests are welcome to participate as well.  The only restriction is that entrants are limited to three entries.  There are no categories.  An entry is an entry is an entry.

There was one Guest showing for the first time: Bill Mahler

(Tony I went back through the cards and I don't see one for him).  We look forward to a second showing and membership vote for this guest sometime in the near future. 

Another business item was nominations for club officers.  Members are reminded that club elections are held as part of the November meeting. (See the ballot found below -Ed.)

If you do not attend and vote it will be hard to display your "Don't blame me - I voted for Wootson" bumper stickers and T-shirts in good conscience over the course of the next year. 

(Ha-ha-ha! - Tony).

Dennis Levy was nominated for Contest Chair, Dennis Sosna for President, and Joe Vattilana for Treasurer.  There were no nominations entered for the positions of Vice President, Newsletter Editor, or Secretary. (These are appointed positions - Ed.)

A final item mentioned was the use of the remodeled "soda" room that is off from the kitchen.  This room has been enlarged by merging it with the smaller room that was next to it on the other side.  It is now also very brightly lit.  This provides an additional space for the informal marketplace, along with a chance for people to get off their feet while they chat.  In October this room also saw the return of a somewhat dormant club activity: The seminar.

I feel the additional space really encourages greater member participation and allows the person conducting the seminar to really spread out with any display material they brought with them.

October's seminar was conducted by Jamie Makin on the use of clear paints, clear adhesives and Bare Metal Foil to enhance the reflectors and headlights on automotive subjects.  The notes from this seminar can be found below.

The seminar was well attended and received and dove tailed into a general discussion of modeling techniques by all those attending.

The Seaplane Destroyer - The USS Pringle

By Craig Bennett

This is a brief description on the history of one of the ships that I displayed at our October Del Val meeting - a 1/700 scale Skywave Destroyer kit, W-01 USS Callaghan DD-793, converted to represent the USS Pringle DD-477, as she appeared in 1943, equipped with a OS2U Kingfisher seaplane on a catapult with crane. The idea was

to increase reconnaissance coverage for forward areas on the forces the enemy had near ours in WW2.

Six Fletcher class destroyers were selected for this attempt. However, the project proved to be unsatisfactory and unnecessary.

The aircraft industry of the US produced more planes with greater range. In addition, operationally the conversion was ill suited for the type of ship that was used. The narrowness caused the destroyer to rock, making launching difficult in heavy seas.

The Navy had not perfected recovery of seaplanes from the water. There were also reports of accidents that occurred.

However, the biggest drawback that ended the project was a lack of room for doing maintenance. Battleships and Cruisers were built with space set aside for taking the planes off the catapult and working on them on the deck.

On the PRINGLE, this was done while the plane was still attached to the catapult. The crane was used to hold up the parts and the sections of the seaplane after they were removed. This method caused many negative reports to be generated from the ships involved, which ultimately caused the idea to be abandoned.

PACM News

By Jim Durso

October seems to be the breakout month, with nearly every member of PACM & DVSM on hand for a sort of post summer reunion. PACM continues to move on with new ideas and projects in the works. One innovative move just agreed upon was to make it easier for other model car clubs to visit us.

Since we have been making Saturday road trips to MAMAs, LIARS, and Tri State model club meetings, those clubs find it difficult to meet with us on Friday nights due the long distance involved. Now, thanks to the cooperation of Jenkintown Hobby, we will be having interim meetings at their shop on the last Saturday of the month, thereby giving the other clubs and even our own members a chance to meet up without having to rush home from work and then get on the road. This no doubt may lead to informal workshops also. The first meeting is scheduled for then end of January.

The club project model will also take a little twist. Instead of everyone building the same model car kit (71 Duster, 58 T-Bird, etc.), we will agree on a subject to build (dragster, street rod, stock car, etc.) The first subject to be proposed will be voted on shortly.

I understand that new club shirts are also in the planning stages, with graphics designed by several club members. The ideas that have been presented are quite interesting and diverse; definitely sounds like wearable art.

After being preempted by last month's kit auction, Jamie's clear parts seminar finally got off the ground and was received with great interest. (See the notes found directly below - Ed.) This small but important detail can add so much realism to your finished model.

The PACM website will be redesigned and published, hopefully in the next few months thanks to major help from Tony Wootson. The old website lapsed, though we were led to believe that it was paid up. The difficulties in coordinating maintenance with John Walton because of his job demands just ruined every opportunity to keep it current. Restarting the site with readily available club members will ensure uninterrupted service. Cost is projected at $8 per month; divided by everyone, that's just pennies a day per member.

(…An additional update on this subject. I have re-acquired the previously held PACM Web Site's Domain name, and have everything lined up. I will be working with Ariel and Bob, who will be the web-masters, to get things up and running. - Tony).

Plans for a summer multi model-car club picnic are again underway with several possible locations being canvassed. We may just pull it off this time. Details to follow.

So, as PACM moves forward, I move southward. I am happy that all of you are working together to make PACM bigger and better.

Since I couldn't make the past meeting, I was treated to a surprise visit from many of the PACM members on Oct 11 for a final farewell and presented with a plaque commemorating the work I have done to gather you car modelers together. (I must share credit for this with Jamie).

I always mention how I consider you guys & gals my family, and it was nice to have acknowledgement that you also consider yourselves as family, not just to me but also to each other; that is itself a wonderful tribute.

Leaving Philadelphia and all the PACM and DVSM family members behind is difficult, since our move to Florida is both necessary and voluntary. It is exciting and sad, but keeping in touch with today's technology will help ease the solemness.

I plan on coming up to the NNL this coming March (and hopefully each year), so a family reunion will be something to look forward to. It is also comforting to know that some of you will be traveling to Daytona, Disney, and other nearby attractions, so several drop-ins during the year will be anticipated.

Thank you all again for your interest, help, enthusiasm, and great talent, and for being family.

Clinic: Clear Parts & Lights

By Jamie Makin

September 5, 2003

Tamiya "Clear" Colors:

X-19 Smoke X-25 Clear Green

X-22 Clear X-26 Clear Orange

X-23 Clear Blue X-29 Clear Red

X-24 Clear Yellow

Colors For Lights:

Tamiya Testors - Model Master

Amber Mix: 1 part clear yellow Turn signal amber

with 1 part clear orange. metallic.

Red Clear red Stoplight red

Metallic

Other Painting Tips:

• Tint windows by airbrushing "smoke" (not advisable to hand paint).

• Use "clear red" and "clear blue" to "anodize" chrome parts.

• Paint chrome silver behind lights to give them a vibrant look. Even better, use bare metal foil behind lights.

• When painting red and amber lights, paint edges as well as back of light. This gives a cleaner, more consistent look.

• Use window masks included in most Tamiya (car) kits to get a clean look for flat black borders. Cover the non-painted side of the window with regular masking tape to prevent overspray.

• Use "clear blue" for a nice look on window washer reservoirs that are molded in clear.

• Use amber or red over bare metal foil to "make" raised lights.

Glues for Clear Parts: (All will dry perfectly clear):

• You can use white glue to "make" recessed lights.

• Testors clear parts cement - built-in thin applicator, thin consistency, must scrape paint or plating before use, will not fill in gaps, may craze.

• Microscale Micro crystal clear - no applicator included, medium consistency, may fill in small gaps, will not craze parts.

• Craft Store White Glue (Ex. "Twice as Tacky") - Thick applicator in cap, thick consistency, fills gaps well, can be thinned down with water.

• Watch Crystal cement - Built-in thin applicator, medium consistency, dries fast, strong hold but can be removed; No need to scrape paint before use, won't harm paint, but can craze clear plastic.

Damage Repair:

• Surface scratches and marring can be easily removed from clear parts with a polishing kit. Use exactly the same as for polishing paint. Polish in alternating perpendicular directions with each successive pad.

AMPS OOB Kit Reviews:

Kit Review: Italeri 1/35 Scale Kit No. 6431: M24 Chaffee (Early).

253 parts (250 in light olive drab styrene, 2 in steel colored vinyl, 1 sheet of clear styrene).

Retail price around $23.

Advantages: Provides some new detail parts and tracks to make the early production model M24 light tank, as well as new markings.

Disadvantages: Does not correct (backdate) the kit completely.

Rating: Highly Recommended.

Recommendation: For all US and WWII Armor fans.

F I R S T L O O K

One of the better Italeri kits for over 25 years has been their pleasant little Chaffee kit. It has not been a perfect kit, but it is an easy build that results in a very recognizable replica of its prototype. But the kit only could be built as the later production version, with twin-pin rubber block tracks and the flotation accessory pads on the bow and stern plates. It was also missing some smaller details.

Italeri has redone the molds (not sure if they cloned them, but it does appear that they did do a new belly pan mold and not simply fill in the older one). Some new bits have been added to one sprue (making a clever use of dead space) and a new sprue with 11 new parts added. The latter includes new drivers for the new set of vinyl single-pin steel tracks, spare track links, and some new stowage bits. A windshield is also included and is provided with a clear styrene "glass" section as well.

That's the good news. The one item of bad news is that they did get rid of the front set of pads for mounting the never-used flotation devices, but left the rear ones on the stern plate (part 20). These have to be removed, and as they were hollow, "that's gonna leave a mark."

None of the kit's vicissitudes have been fixed, either. For the accuracy buff, you will still need to get a set of AFV Club M41 wheels to replace the kit ones with for an accurate running gear with the lightening holes in the idler wheel and rims for the road wheels. Also, the armored covers over the rear air intakes have to be removed and "jacked up" about .030" to get the right appearance on the rear deck. The .50 caliber also has to go (in my kit, surprisingly the M2 was broken in half, so I have no option.)

The kit does come with new decals, this time for a total of five vehicles: 1st AD in Italy, 1945; US Army Germany 1945; 3ID in Korea, 1951; 1st RTR, Germany 1945; and French Indochina 1953. All seem to be missing bits, but it is unknown if Italeri could not see them on the photos used for markings or just skipped them. Nevertheless, extra markings will probably be needed for all of them. As they are all US based vehicles, only one color is available: olive drab.

Overall, it is nice that Italeri gave us a different version of the kit, but a bit disappointing they did not try to fix more of the kit up at the same time. Still it is reasonable, and in this day and age that is nice to see.

Kit Review: DML 1/35 ‘39-‘45 Series Kit No. 6203: t-34/85 UTZ Mod. 1944.

414 parts (412 in grey styrene, 1 in clear styrene, 1 nylon string).

Estimated US retail price $28-33.

Advantages: Kit provides parts to make an earlier model of the main production version of the Model 1944 T-34-85; still the most accurate series of T-34 kits on the market.

Disadvantages: Designation of kit is not correct; single link tracks not for all modelers; some changes could have made for more options to the kit.

Rating: Highly Recommended.

Recommendations: For all WWII Soviet and ‘34' fans.

For those of us who read Russian, there have been two really good books on the T-34 that have come out in the last two years. They are: Neizvestniy T-34 (The Unknown T-34) by I. Zheltov, M. Pavlov, I. Pavlov, A. Sergeyev and A. Solyankin, Exprint, Moscow 2001, ISBN 5-94038-013-1; and, Bronyekollektsiya Spetsial'niy Vypusk No. 3: T-34 - Istoriya Tanka (Armor Collection Special Issue No. 3: T-34 – The History of a Tank) by Mikhail Baryatinskiy, Modelist-Konstruktor, Moscow 2003, no ISBN number.

Both of them provide a wealth of coverage on the entire history of the T-34 tank from the A-20 prototype all the way up to the T-34-85 series produced until 1946. Both of them have a number of 1/35 plans as well (albeit the Exprint one is not as complete, its drawings are more thorough) and data supporting the text. The Exprint has dual text captions; alas, the Modelist-Konstruktor one does not.

Having said all that, both books provide a blow-by-blow history of the T-34, and as such cover all of the factories that produced the tank and those which provided parts. This is what brings me around to the comment in the "Disadvantages" section that the subject of this kit is not correctly identified.

Once Soviet production got rolling in early 1942, they had a number of factories and factory conglomerates producing tanks and their constituent parts. Factory No. 185 (Chelyabinsk, AKA "Tankograd") was one such center, and Factory No. 183 (Nizhniy Tagil, AKA "Vagonka") was the other. Supporting those two main centers were a number of other factories. One of the biggest ones was the Ural Factory for Heavy Machinery (Ural'niy Zavod Tyazheloy Mashinostroyenii) or UZTM. This had heavy foundry equipment for casting turrets, and also produced some welded armor products such as the casemates for self-propelled guns such as the SU-122, SU-85, and SU-152.

Since the designers at UZTM figured out how to create reusable steel molds for casting turrets in 1941, they had become the largest producer of cast tank turrets in the USSR. They learned these skills when working on the KV-1 Model 1942, and it transitioned over later to the T-34. In 1942-43 UZTM did produce complete 76mm model T-34 tanks. but ceased production when the T-34-85 series tanks replaced the T-34 76mm models.

DML's kit actually represents an early production T-34-85 (Russians use a dash, not the backslash used by many others and used on this kit) with a UZTM produced turret. Most of the kit is identical to the earlier DML T-34-85 Model 1944 kit (No. 6066 which was released in 1998) but there are about 60 new parts to the kit.

Most of them are the "minor" difference items that make it an early production model. These include the rounded T-34 type fenders rather than the more familiar rectangular ones from the other kit; it also comes with a two-piece turret hatch for the commander, a different cupola design, and the 1943 production "spider" wheels with "cheater" holes in the rims (used to cut down on the amount of rubber used) and only six holes in the wheel center and doubled webs, vice the single webs, solid tires and 12 holes found in the previous kit. I could have hoped for some more parts, like the rhombic shaped mantelet for the S-53 gun (predecessor of the full production ZIS-S-53 gun more commonly found in T-34-85 tanks) and the smooth pressed steel engine radiator exhaust louver grille cover, but the model is dead accurate as is so I really have no complaints.

The kit builds into a standard production ("series" to the Russians) tank built between March and September of 1944. If you want a later WWII production one, you will have to pick up the other kit. Three options for markings are included: one from the 1st Baltic Front, Koenigsberg, East Prussia 1944; one from the 55th Guards Tank Brigade, 7th Guards Tank Corps, Berlin 1945; and one of the tanks subscribed in the name of David Sasunskiy by the citizens of the Georgian SSR, fall 1944.

There are few tricky areas in this kit, and DML has included more than enough details for most modelers. The turret does take care, and there are some piddly sinkholes but most seem to be in places that can't be seen (example: the faces of the road wheel arms, which are right behind the large wheels and not visible once assembled.)

For those who hate single link track, the good news is that T-34 tracks are easy to assemble no matter who manufacturers them (well, in styrene at least) and these are among the best. Unless you really want working tracks (on fixed wheels it really doesn't make much sense) or weight (from Fruilmodel) there's no real reason to get another set.

The Eduard etched metal set for the earlier kit should work on this model, but I expect they will come out with another version to provide metal fenders. A number of manufacturers also make turned aluminum ZIS-S-53 barrels for these tanks.

The box also has some good news, as DML is now advertising figure set No. 6197, Soviet Tank Riders with six new figures, which should be a perfect compliment to this kit.

Overall, this is a nice kit and does make an accurate model of its subject. Just don't go by the name!

Thanks to Freddie Leung of DML for the review sample.
