*GENUINE WWI FRENCH AEROPLANE COLOUR PHOTO!
This very special 2004 edition begins our exclusive six part series of rare WWI colour autochromes of French aeroplanes beginning with the Farman F.40! Alan D Toelle provides stunning new Breguet 14 colour profiles in support of our France's Foreign Legion Of The Air series that reaches its 34th instalment and Harry Woodman presents some crucial modelling know-how in an informative modelling feature. Other highlights include: Mikael Carlson's fabulous flying Fokker; Breguet 14 in German colours!; stacks of reviews and a whole lot more!
Harry Woodman looks back and discusses well-tried and effective modelling techniques covering metal finishing,stitching,corrugations and fabric effects with rare photos and explanatory sketches.Jon Guttman reaches his 34th Foreign Legion series instalment with the story of Czech volunteers and presents nine unique wartime images, but the icing on the proverbial is Alan Toelle's exacting Breguet 14 colour profiles with accurate uppersurface camouflage patterns.
This issue also initiates a truly exclusive year-long series of genuine WWI French colour autochromes,the first being a portrait of a Farman F.40 nacelle and two Letord fuselages- earned commentary comes from Alan Toelle; these wartime colour images have to be seen to be believed!
