Clay More homepage (https://www.clay-more.com/) indicates as "new release" a 1/48th Royal Aircraft Factory FE8 multimedia kit. But up until know except box art and profiles I haven't seen any picture from this company products... I'm therefore a bit suspicious. No address, no Facebook... V.P.

Well folks, despite my best efforts I have caved in to the Vac form and resin kit builders new group build and I will be starting the Scaleplanes RAF FE8 kit which was one of the first vacs I added to my stash. I have some after market goodies in the form of a SmallStuff Monosoupape engine and Aeroclub prop which although slightly too large is at least the correct pitch for a pusher and can be filed down, and a Miniworld Lewis gun. Wheels and national markings/serial have been sourced from the spares stash. The only issue is how I will do the number on the nacelle as I have no decals that will do the job. I'll sort that out when I come to it, and it will be less of a problem than figuring out how to do the tail framing! At least this should keep @pheonix happy! Here's what I have to be going on with: Did I mention how tiny it is? I spent this afternoon scaling up the plans from the Datafile (why are the profiles and plan view different sizes? They are not to any particular scale either!) and sourcing the bits I needed. The last act of today was to outline the parts to be removed. Oh well, here we go..... Ian
