You will thoroughly enjoy building this kit Danny, it goes together really well and has plenty of detail, the rigging is great fun.

I'm really looking forward to  following your build, Danny. The RE 8 is one of my favourite aircraft and , I think, so unfairly maligned .

Best wishes

Thank's guy's,

Like i promised,after a short break, i wanna tackle my second WNW kit. ::)

A few months ago, i had the change to buy a WNW RE.8 "Harry Tate" (one of my favourite aircraft),Thank's to Grant Lovett from Arrow & Wolf.

So after a little doubt, wich kit i wanted to start (Albatross D.Va or the RE.8) my choise feld on the Harry Tate.

Yesterday, these extra goodies where deliverd:

The complete HGW "Harry Tate" PE and decal set, and flat rigging wire.



The reference i will use are the photo's from the WNW website.

So, i think everthing is ready to start, here's the complete kit and the extra aftermarket goodie's.



I have just a little question for you guy's 

Is there anybody who have good detail photo's of the RAF4a V12 engine??

Stay tuned for upcoming photo's of the build.

Today i started the build of the "Harry tate", so photo's will follow real soon guy's.
 I also have looked after some nice figures to give the "Harry tate" a dynamic scene.

My choise feld on these two guy's :

 Hi Guy's,

 i have a small progress to show you guy's.

I did some work on the RAF 4a engine, still very basic, but that will change, as i want to add some extra detail regarding the ignition cables.

Engine was painted with Alclad and Tamiya paint's.











At the moment, that's all, stay tuned for more.

previous, i mentioned that i will use two figures from Kellerkind Miniatures.

These figures are real nice, very crisp and sharp details, and there pose is really intresting.

I took some detail pictures, and here they are :

Pilot 1 :









And this is what's inside the box.



Figure 2, the rear gunner :







A nice little dog is included with the figure.







And again, content of the box.

Your start on the engine looks great! The figures are nicely sculpted, looking forward to seeing them painted.
