As mr. Lawson always says "here's a bit of fun":

I few weeks ago I "won" this book on Ebay:


As WW1 modelling was quit popular in those days, the books mentions a few things about the subject. It pretty much gives an idea what was common practise in those days, I made a few scans.


"Red predominating"(!?)


That sums up the rigging "instruction".



At last a nice image:


I wonder if Aurora is really getting back in bussiness and if they are going to republish this book as well .

Greetings, Nico

Nico ! Thanks for the trip back to yester-year! The Geman and French camouflage.

Hi Nico!

Thanks for sharing!

I like the "ground piece" which "adds action and excitement to the display".

Now has someone something similar with the Matchbox kits?

Hi Nico.
Very interesting reading!
Its amazing how the hobby has progressed over the years.
I wonder if anyone can hold their hand up and say " I had this book when I was a kid"?
If you come across any other pages youd like to scan and post Id be very interested in reading more.

Well, Jean-Luc, it was nice when some kits at least came with crewmen
This MPC is just an Airfix rebox.
