Volume 24 No. 4 - July/Aug 2008

The July/August 2008 edition of WINDSOCK Worldwide carries extended book reviews, some superb examples of readers’ models and continues Les Rogers’ RE8 unit colours series with the usual photos and colour profiles. George Haddow provides the first in a two-part plans feature for the large Mickl Type G trimotor flying boat, and more rare Albatros C.XII photos turn up in Archiv. In a change from the standard kit  review section, this issue majors in depth on four new classic kit releases: Roden’s 1:32 Albatros D.I and Nieuport 28 , plus their second 1:72 Staaken, and also Eduard’s much talked-about 1:48 Fokker Triplane. Each detailed review is supported by carefully-researched supportive reference material: an archive photo-spread for the D.I; highly informative and rare Dr.I detailed close-ups; colour photos of Staaken motor installation, plus airframe sketches and two pages of stunning Ronny Bar artwork for Roden’s Nieuport 28.
