Hi
Words from the Swedish distributor say that the new Spad will be on the swedish hobbyshelfs in december, still no words from roden about next years models.

Larsa

Hoping You check out the Roden site next week, something will happen there

Larsa
ps a little bird named Olga...

Hmmm can't seem to find a dedicated modeler to take on the SE 5a with the Hisso.

Well... I have the S.E.5a Part etched for the Wolseley Viper version but I've never ordered the kit because I'm still fighting with the interior of the Fokker Dr.1 (and my always increasing AMS syndrome).

Can't do one without beer-can............

Regards
Steve

Beer cans
Hopefully someone will get into this box, that´s my hope. I would but aint got the time for it. Just to much for my calender.

Greetings all!

Aeroscale member Mark Hamrick (Guitarlute) has stepped up to the plate and commited to do the 1/32 SE 5a with the Hispano-Suiza characteristics. Thanks Mark!

Cool Bannanas! That will be a build to watch!

Cheers,

Hugh

Greetings all;

I have just been informed that my needed 4 colour lozenge from Roden has been approved and will be sent along with kit #604. . .Hhhmmm. . . I wonder would that be a . . .? Nah it couldn't be. Well maybe. . ?

That would be the Spad VII if I am not mistaken.
Hmmm... I was just being asked the otehr day by my mother what I wanted for xmas... Was there any model that I might like?

Sounds like we have a candidate for a parcel under the tree.

Cheers,

Hugh

Now I'm thinking Spad for some strange reason here

New 4 colour lower lozenge , mmmmmmmmmh interesting ..................

Sorry Terri,

Not new, just more of the original to do ribtapes and make up for the material I had to use for the interior.

No worries at all Stephen . I was thinking maybe you sent Eygore down to have a talk about their colours in nice way of course !

So in the kit you don't get the rib taping then ?

The truth is Roden forgot that the interior should be lozenge. Like other manufacturers they simply said paint it. . . Even with that there is not enough to do all the ribs. A bit of math told me I would barely get 1/3 done.

Ladies and gentlemen. The 1/32 Spad VII will be built by RAGIII.

Well RAGIII should provide a really good "example" for the rest of us to follow.........great choice and congrats.......

Regards
Steve

Thanks Stephen, and thanks to all for the support and encouragement! By the way, if I set an example it is for the "Average Modeler", to show what they can do without a whole lot of scratchbuilding. My motto is well done but not to the point that you don't have much of the kit left .Seriously, Brad, Steve, Lars, and others have far surpassed my builds, I just hold up the "Joe Modeller" end of things
RAGIII

Well then lets see where we are at.

Of course, the burning question is, what are we going to do if Roden send you the newly released DVII or (heaven forbid) the BE2c in 1/32 towards the end of Jan?

Cheers,

Hugh

Did he say D.VII?? Did i miss something here?

Regards
Steve

I'm stiring the pot Steve.

I know the D.VII is ona lot of peoples wish lists and the BE2c is on mine.

But seriously, we keep getting these releases and it looks like Stephen is going to have to extend the GB every time that Roden post hime something.

Cheers,

Hugh
