[WWI] One not for the gallery

[nick hamer]

Paul, I see what you mean. Superb. Alberto must have bionic eyes.

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.
