The latest edition of Windsock Worldwide provides a real trip down memory lane for me as, among the usual mix of top quality reference material and modelling articles, Ray Rimell looks back at his stunning 1:24 LVG C.VI that graced the pages of Scale Models Magazine when I was still at school. The scratchbuilt model simply blew my mind as a teenager and looks just as good 40 years later! Coming bang up to date, this issue looks at the amazingly detailed WW1 flight sim - Rise Of Flight. I've tried it and can vouch for it's addictiveness and superb attention to detail - but maybe I shouldn't plug distractions from our modelling workbenches!

WINDSOCK Worldwide Vo!29, No.3
"The May/June edition of WINDSOCK carries a wide and eclectic mix, including exclusive photos of TVAL’s latest WWI repro’s in New Zealand; recent introductions to the acclaimed Rise of Flight WWI air combat sim; a double page spread of Short 184 colour profiles in our popular Great War Paint series and a unique photo feature on Sweden's sole Fokker DVII once flown by aces Goring and Lörzer.
