THE ART OF WAR!
WWI French artist in the field Henry Farre produced some epic contemporary aviation paintings following personal visits to Front Line airfields-seven of his very best are reproduced on the outer covers with the full inside story by Harry Woodman. The first IPMS Nats to be held at Telford yielded many WWI entrants-14 of which are showcased in colour on the inner cover and there's some rare HB W29 images in Archive. Also in this issue, Alberto Casirati super-details Revell's venerable 1:72 scale Nieuport 28 to great effect and there are over ten pages of kit reviews with some fabulous French models in 1:48 scale! On the last two pages we have the fourth in our Decor Debut series with rare photos and a pair of colour profiles depicting a pair of exotoic Hanriot HD.1 fighters.
