Windsock, the leading specialist early aviation modelling magazine, presents a fresh new-look and a real feast of articles and reviews on a wide variety of subjects - but with a definite French flavour in this first issue of Volume 30:

WINDSOCK gets a "Spring clean!"
"In the first issue of 2014's WINDSOCK World War Centenary, there's a wealth of great reference material and top-notch reviews to set a refreshed pattern for the rest of the year. Our re-design has resulted in greater coverage of news and reviews and we also reinstate our popular competition - this time a pair of Wingnut Wings Salmsons are the prizes! We conclude our detailed Rumpler C.III coverage with more photos, drawings and another Ronny Bar profile; our Great War Paint series features, appropriately enough, the 1914 Tabloid with a terrific centre-spread; whilst the usual book, decal and accessory columns all feature. The kit review section has been over-hauled with detailed appraisals of CSM, GasPatch and WNW Salmsons, the Wingnut DH9, and others, all heavily supported by unique reference photos and drawings to provide vital points of detail for modellers of these exciting releases. Our main feature, by Alan Toelle and Lance Krieg, offers chapter and verse on the WWI French five-colour camouflage colours with an exclusive paint-mixing chart and full, illustrated background to this fascinating subject. Alan also presents a multi-view Bleriot-built 1:48 SPAD Xlll colour set showing its precise pattern.

For builders of the new Salmsons, and other late-war French subjects, this exclusive article is the best one-stop guide you'll find anywhere!
