Just like the last idiot I missed two points - posting gallery pics and pluging the exhausts into the fuselage. Here's a bit bigger presentation.

Looks very nice, and good photos.

Is there any plan to do a round up feature showing all the completed models from the gallery?

At last the miniart twin Lewis and Vickers guns arrived! Woohoo! So I will crack on with the RE8 this evening. I'll post some pictures - I hope of the finished kit - soon.

Cheers

Those miniart guns are something else aren't they! I have the same RE8 kit, with those twin Lewis guns waiting for me in my stash, I'm looking forward to seeing how they look on a finished model.

They are real beauties. It is a bit tricky attaching them to the mount and getting them parallel. Will post pics this evening...

The RE8 is done (well I might add a wash and a little more weathering)…. But for the campaign, this is it…. I just wanted to get her finished…















Great campaign! Some great builds! Roll on Airfix IV!

Cheers

Nice job Matthew. I think the wait for those guns was worth it, they really add to the model and are a nice little focal point

Thanks, Richard. Thanks, Casey.

I enjoyed building Airfix's RE8 even though it does require a lot of love. I still can't believe it first rolled of the Airfix production line back in 1958....

Cheers
