All of WWI modeler have or had sometime a Windsock Special on hands.

It`s have a good quality print in a gloss thin paper.

Their graphic style is quite unique and different for today standard like you see in others magazines.

 

 

On the cover front of the Albatros B.II removed from one Ronny Bar profile. almost all topics covered within this issue is on the cover but not all.

 

As all Windsock Datafile frontline and logbook made the two first pages.

 

Now a serious case: Harry Woodman chapter... this series are well worth an entire book. This time is plastic card techniques to make fuselages, wings, tail wings, propellers, airsrews... Everything from scratch...

 

 

 

Today we are quite spoiled with several great model around the modelling world, specially by Wingnut wings. Just check this 1:48 Voisin made from plastic card in 1967/1968... wow!!! 

 

 

 

The next chapter I really like. Helmets, Hats and Headgear brings us this time the Roold Helmet. 

 

 

 

 

In Great War Paint some fantastic pics and profiles of a very cute plane: Caudron G.3.

To end with a big boom, some fantastic pics of Albatros B.II... some perfect reference for WnW Alb. B.II Early.

These ones are quite useful to anyone who's making or have in the stash, the WnW Albatross B. II. 

 

 

            Conclusion:

 

The Windsock datafile always contains a lot of information varied and very interesting to any lover of WWI.
