Sorry, Michael, you are right. I did not notice I actually used the word "kraplak" in the previous post. The correct english name should be alizarin or Madder Lake deep.

I rather like the term Kraplak. I think I shall use it as often as is permissible for now on.  ;) :D

Oh, now I'm embarrassed.  I thought it was just short for krapalakadingdong.  Whatever the meaning, I really love the color.  In fact, I think I'm going to model "Lo" just so I can use it.

Yeah, I would have forgotten - as far as I could find out, the word Kraplak most probably comes from netherlands and means madder lake.

It's hard to describe exactly what it is, Ondra.  I like to use it in place of words that are not considered socially acceptable.  For example, when your boss gives you direction you don't agree with, you can say, "Sir, with all due respect, that's pure krapalakadingdong."  My with calls me a wordsmith.  I don't think she really means it as a compliment.
Cheers,
Bud
PS-Ondra, I think your command of English is quite good.

Ondra,
         I teach reading/adult literacy, and as I tell my students, English is a pretty screwed up language.

Hello everybody,

I am back with a small up-date and one question to the forumites.

Here the up-date, please let me show the photos of Sergey's Dreidecker (1/48 Eduard), red kraplak and zinc white were used on this model. I like the various shades of the red depending on the colour underneath (as you can see, the cowling, wheel discs and struts have each a different shade of red, whereas all were painted with the same paint).








And the question to the forumites: I met Sergey last weekend at a local contest and during the discussion we came to the idea of a product that could be useful for WWI modellers.

We think of offering sets of paints meant for roundels (british, french, italian, russian) created the same way as the DB colours and having same features (i. e. fine pigment allowing for playing around with translucency and base colour). The use is obvious, allied types produces by WnW and other producers (like e. g. the HPH Macchi 1/32 or the upcoming Aviattic releases). Of course other scales would be a possibility, too.

This would be an alternative to the decals, the masks could be provided as well.

Could you please give us your feedback whether this would be a relevant product for you?

Many thanks for your help and hints.

Cheers.

Ondra

I would use them. I use Montex masks in 1/24 and it would be nice to have weathered national markings on my WNW.

Yes, I prefer the look of painted roundels instead of decals. I'm interested.

This sounds like a great idea! I will certainly be interested.
