Nice review Damian
Timely too, I was just thinking of buying this.. had my cursor hovering over it on the Hannants website last night.
This is of course the engine from the old Hasegawa 1/8th Camel and I see the Le Rhone is scheduled for release too. They'd make a nice pair.

Damian,
Forgive the (probably, I've been away for 10 days) silly question. The Great War Build Campaign in November? Have I completely missed it or is it associated with the "other" site?
Cheers,
Lance
Officially Retired as of 20 August 2013 and looking forward to some un-interrupted bench time. Currently starting Roden's Nieuport 28 and hoping to follow that with another WNW Fokker DVII.

Hi Lance.
The Campaign Page is
HERE , and it is associated with the "other" site as you said, but it encompasses all genres and should be very popular.
