This book is one clear and easy-
to-follow guide not only for those
who love the aircraft of the First
World War. Many of the techniques
presented in this volume can also be
used in other modeling disciplines.
This is an essential resource for any
aviation modeler.
The First World War caused an advance
in unprecedented weapons: the armored
vehicle, the flamethrower, the tracer bul-
lets, the chemical weapons, the subma-
rine, the aviation... Definitely, this conflict
would change the way of understanding
the war.
It is for this reason that we wanted to
continue our collection dedicated to air-
craft modeling, Airplanes in Scale, with a
volume focused exclusively on the First
World War.
Through some of the most emblematic
airplanes of this era, several procedures
and techniques are taught by each author
thanks to many detailed photographs
with step-by-step captions. In this book
you will learn how to imitate wood, air-
craft fabric covering, WWI engines or
something very characteristic of these
airplanes, the different bracing systems.
In addition, as we close the book, we have
added two articles that show how to paint
two pilots.

What child has not questioned whom they love more, Dad or Mom?
Perhaps whoever buys me more models was a tempting answer, the real-
ity is that your love for both was equally strong. In the modelling world,
we’ve been struggling with a similar dilemma for years: clean airplanes vs.
greasy and dirty airplanes. There have been many different trends over the
years, one constant is how modelers from all over the world have depicted
aircraft with varying degrees of wear, ilth, and deterioration within these
pages. The core concept is to replicate the real aircraft, to make scale
versions that look as close as is possible to the reference photographs.
We know that the degree of weathering on aircraft is a controversial subject, the debate over pristine
inishes versus realistic levels of grease and dirt occasionally causes heated debates in modelling circles.
When you have the plane lawlessly assembled with perfectly straight panel lines and accurate riveting, you
must complete the harrowing task of adding camoulage, markings, and accumulations of leaked grease,
oil, dust, and dirt to the appropriate areas. You are alone with the model to decide if you should apply a
wash, use a ilter, and how to utilize pigments. All the while the plane sits in front of you in the unrealistic
and toy like state of assembled bare plastic.
It is only by practicing your craft that you will master the techniques used to paint and weather aircraft to
the degree you have chosen. Of course aircraft are not as ilthy as tanks but that doesn’t mean that they
should be clean. The aging of your car is a real time example. This not only includes the scrapes, parking
lot dings, and messy kids. There are likely remains of oil, mud, dust, grime, and splashes to be found. Now
imagine how a transport plane deployed in the desert or a ighter on a primitive airstrip would accumulate
layers of appearance altering effects.
Abandon your fears fellow modelers, you are not alone in waxing philosophical about the premise our
magazine, weathering aircraft. Think about what the subject of your model has endured from the airstrips
it lies from, what conlicts it has served in, and maintenance record. After studying reference photos of
the inal appearance, throw yourself into the fulilling painting and weathering stages of aircraft modelling
with conidence and zeal. The journey from inspiration to a dynamic and realistic inal result is easier and
quicker than you think.
