Varese2002- Those are probably some of the most amazing photos I've seen in quite some time. I go from only knowing of two photos of this aircraft to a whole, detailed set. Awesome stuff!

I put my order in for that book today, so hopefully in a few weeks I'll have everything I need.

I'm just dabbling in scratchbuilding right now, but despite the size the R VIII doesn't look TOO difficult- the fuselage is really a simple box with other "stuff" added on. The wings may be a bit more difficult, but not so much that they are un-buildable.

Thanks again, and if I ever DO start this project, I'll be sure to post something up here.
