Back to the RE.8 Port side rigging done.

Just to give you a bell, Steve, but the new Airfix BE2c is now out in the UK: LINK.

The first colour option is for the aircraft flown by William Leefe Robinson when he shot down the SL11 and the second is an aircraft from RNAS East Fortune in 1916.

The Eindecker is also out: LINK. There's but a single option for this one, an aircraft of FFA 53 from late 1915.

The two are also being released as a dogfight double: LINK.

Different colour options in the twin boxing, the BE2c is from No.13 Squadron in 1916 whilst the E.II is an aircraft from FFA 9b, also from 1916.

I'm not sure how long they'll take to appear in the States, but if you want to try a UK retailer, I'd recommend H.G. Hannants of Lowestoft: LINK. I believe that their overseas shipping's not too bad, but they do give great service, I've used them for a good few years now.

Mike.

Thanks for the heads-up. I had heard that they had been released there, but not here yet. I tend to avoid Hannants because of their minimum order price before they'll ship overseas, and the two kits together don't quite make that minimum.

Still, I'll keep my eyes open. Thanks again.

Nae probs, Steve!

Following another nine days' delay, and a month after the project started, the starboard rigging is at least started.
