Hi Danny!!!

I've been (same as many others I believe) watching and following your build and result speak for itself. I know It has been said many times but I guess few more words won't hurt ;) Just gorgeous and since I'm intending building same aircraft I can only hope that I will get anywhere close to yours. Splendid work!!!! ;)

What a beautifully presented model. Absolutely superb all round. I love the way the light has reflected on your painting (second to last image) which brings such life to the colour. I admit I'm not an RE8 fan but this is stunning. Congrats on such a lovely model

Let me apologize for butting in here again with another comment, Danny, but this is my all time favorite WWI vignette.  So gorgeous.  Here's something that I think would look fantastic displayed with your dio.

Russell Smith's "Bus Number 7".  I have this print hanging in my model room.  Now, all I need is that elusive WNW RE8 to complete the picture, so to speak.
Cheers,
Bud

It is the second time that I look at your scenette and I am truly amazed from the life that is contained there.
The model is superb but the pilot and the dog are superlative.

Thank's Lukas ;)

Now iff you start you're Harry Tate, just beware of the fitting of the engine side cowl plates. They need much of dry-fit before you glue them.

Thank's for the really nice comment. ;) :)

I'm still searching for a appropriated title for my diorama. Knowing that the crew of this Re.8 have a little fun with the squadron mascot before they board there Harry Tate, this could be their last flight in those very dangerous day's of "Bloody April". An appropriated title would give more drama to the whole diorama.

So guy's, iff you have sugestions, please i'm all ear. ;) :)
