When Wingnut Wings first announced their 1:32 scale Rumpier C.IV, it took most pundits by surprise. Despite the success of the aircraft in its reconnaissance, artillery spotting and light bombing roles, it had not been a popular subject with kit manufacturers. WNW has now given us the ultimate examples of this versatile aircraft with separate boxings of both "early" and "late" production machines. Inside the "early" edition, we find 13 sprues of plastic, one of which is clear to provide for the windscreen and camera lens. These are supplemented by a fret of photo-etched parts and a couple of decal sheets that allow you to choose between five interesting aircraft. A well-appointed interior is essential in a two-seater and the Rumpler is no exception. More than 30 parts make up this area, which includes camera and radio choices, Goerz bomb sight, associated bombs, and photo-etched safety belts. The separate interior framework will perfectly envelop these items and as shown in the dry-run, everything slots easily in place between the two fuselage halves.
