Albatros Productions have just published their latest Modelling Special. This time it's devoted to WingNut Wings stunning AEG.GIV (see our review HERE ) and even a first read shows it's packed with masses of fresh information beyond the Datafile coverage. Couple this with a detailed step-by-step guide by WW1 master-modeller Ray Rimell and it's clearly a must-buy for anyone tackling the kit.

Thanks!

With the cost of these kits, it's good to have as much "coaching" from the sidelines as possible.

Hi Bill

I love the way Ray kicks off with the lines:

"A steep learning curve... Building one of the WNW AEG kits is not for the faint-hearted..."

What have I got myself into!

Seriously - I must get back properly to it, once work and the current deluge of summer releases ease a bit.

All the best

Hello Good People,

I think this book is most assuredly in my future.

I ordered the kit. It got to within 120 miles of where I live, then the USPS decided to return it to the sender. It has been sleeping quietly in some dark dusty corner at the NZ Postal Service for about a month now. But the good folk at WNW are taking care of it now.

To Customer service at WNW:

Hi Carl

It's a wonderful world we live in, isn't it - it gets half-way round the globe successfully, only to fall foul of someone at a sorting office and gets sent back again, then to be forgotten...

All the best
