This is a gorgeous piece of work. The lines of the RE-8 are rather odd looking and TGM seems to have done a good job capturing them from what I can see in the photos. The angular cut of the wings and the peculiar 'broken-back' appearance of the fuselage when sitting on the ground make the RE-8 rather easy to identify. The copious rigging looks very well done and I like the prominent exhaust stacks. The RE-8 also has an odd looking air-intake on top of the engine that TGM has done but is hard to see in the photo angles. This is a marvelous model of an iconic British two-seater and yet another example of TGM's creativity in terms of the aircraft they choose to make. -- Al

For any of the members that might own a TG aircraft, are these 1/30 or 1/32 and do they match up to the warbirds from the John Jenkins collection? Michael

Michael, I own one of the TGM Eindeckers. It is 1/30 scale and matches up very well with the JJD aircraft. I use JJD groundcrew with the Eindecker and one of JJD's German half-figure pilots sits in the cockpit. The TGM figures are a tad larger/bulkier than JJD figures but not so that is really noticeable or off-putting, rather, another example of 1/30 interprutation between manufacturers. -- Al
