[WWI] One not for the gallery

[Paul Thompson]

Nick,

    All I've done is build them as neat as I can, OOB, except replacing the
armament and in one case the airscrew. No corrections at all - the Roland
doesn't need much, but the RE8, while looking the part, needs a complete
rebuild. There are also no interiors added, just crew figures.

    To see these old Airfix kits really done well, look at Alberto
Casirati's work, as well as several other suspects in the list gallery.
http://www.wwi-models.org/Images/Casirati/index.html . His work is
incomparable, and I couldn't match it, but in my defence that wasn't the
object of the exercise - I just wanted to capture the feeling of 35 plus
years ago when I last did this............... Alberto's also worked wonders
on the old Revell kits, and some more modern ones.


Paul.
