Albatros Productions have just published their latest Modelling Special. This time it's devoted to WingNut Wings stunning AEG.GIV (see our review HERE ) and even a first read shows it's packed with masses of fresh information beyond the Datafile coverage. Couple this with a detailed step-by-step guide by WW1 master-modeller Ray Rimell and it's clearly a must-buy for anyone tackling the kit.
Building the WingNut Wings AEG G.IV - Windsock WWI Modelling Special No.4!

"FOR our fourth Modelling Special, WINDSOCK editor Ray Rimell pulls out all the stops to showcase the mighty WingNut Wings AEG G.IV bomber in a truly comprehensive meld of modelling know-how, carefully-selected archive material, specially-commissioned all-new Ronny Bar profiles and a 1918 facsimile capture report!

Liberally- illustrated with over 230 photos, this 64 page modeller’s guide to the AEG G.IV carries an intensive, and exhaustive, build log of the Early version taking the reader through the entire assembly stage-by-stage. Presenting large clear colour photos, interspersed with full-size close-up details in colour and monochrome, it covers all areas: cockpits, armament, Daimler Benz engines and ordnance among the many aspects covered within its packed pages. Along the way, the author describes how he enhanced interior and crew station areas, applied the daunting overall hexagonal decal covering in a unique and totally practical operation, as well as providing exhaustive painting tips and rigging guidance. An easy way to attach and re-attach bomb loads is also described.
Six brand new Ronny Bar profiles are reproduced to a generous size and feature as an optional 'pull-out' centre-fold, whilst the full 1918 Ministry of Munitions report on captured ‘G105’ provides modellers with a unique reference that, along with its contemporary details and sketches, explores almost every facet of these fascinating WWI German bombers. Each and every stage of the kit construction is carefully scrutinized from cutting the very first cockpit parts from their runners, to finally pressing the varnished airscrews in place. With its very special Foreword, our latest WNW Modelling Special is destined to become an instant classic!"

The new book is priced at £26.00 plus post and pack from www.windsockdatafilespecials.co.uk

With the cost of these kits, it's good to have as much "coaching" from the sidelines as possible.

Hi Bill I love the way Ray kicks off with the lines: "A steep learning curve... Building one of the WNW AEG kits is not for the faint-hearted..." What have I got myself into! Seriously - I must get back properly to it, once work and the current deluge of summer releases ease a bit. All the best Rowan

Hello Good People, I think this book is most assuredly in my future. I ordered the kit. It got to within 120 miles of where I live, then the USPS decided to return it to the sender. It has been sleeping quietly in some dark dusty corner at the NZ Postal Service for about a month now. But the good folk at WNW are taking care of it now. To Customer service at WNW:

Hi Carl It's a wonderful world we live in, isn't it - it gets half-way round the globe successfully, only to fall foul of someone at a sorting office and gets sent back again, then to be forgotten... All the best Rowan
