RE: SCALE ORDNANCE
The Williams Bros Spandaus (and other MG kits) seem to be the de facto standard in RC WWI modeling and are beautifully detailed. Nothing else even comes close. Unfortunately, 1/6 scale is the smallest them come in. I'd sure like to see some done in 1/8 scale.
As regards the Wright Bros. wood kits (and this goes for the ones being offered by Arizona Models) IMHO, they don't really cut it. I could probably do just as good a job (and have) scratch-building -- with the exception of the troublesome cooling jacket. This is one area where I think injection molded plastic is the only way to go for a serious scale rendition.
BTW, below are the William's Bros. 1/6 scale Vickers and Lewis and the minuture versions I scratch-built based on them.
