100 Year Bloody April Build: R.E.8 (Kampflieger 1/72nd)

[smithdr]

All,

I got the top wing and struts on. The top wing went much better as I cemented the spar to a stronger piece of card stock and it was much more robust. The various struts went on a treat and fitted very well. I suspect the only model that is as easy to add a top wing to would the the Wingnut Wings 1/32nd Harry Tate. The only change I made was to put the rear most cabane strut attachment into the pilot's cockpit as it attaches outside this area onto the fuselage on the kit. The pictures I see show this guy on the inside.










Really just wheels, some gun detail and then rigging left. Pretty spiffy little model. Fitting for Bloody April!

Cheers,
Dan
