Looks nice, pretty much a grown up version of their beautiful 1/48th kit. Someone needs to look at the old PE from LoneStar and enlarge the seat to 1/32nd scale! This is the only criticism I would even think to make. I am looking forward to perhaps building this one soon!

When i saw the sprues i thought the same thing as RAGIII, it looks likes like a scaled up version of their 1/48 kit. Which is no bad thing as the 1/48 version is one of Roden's best.

Have to agree, looks like a direct pano up from the 1/48th kit. Do the Liberty Bond posters come wiith the 1/32 kit Stephen? Hope Roden's decals have improved since I built the 1/48th kit.

It has taken some time but a fellow modeler is releasing a resin "peach basket" type of seat for this kit.








On this picture you can c the flash witch has to be removed with a sharp knife before painting.



The price of the seat will be: 6,70 euro, incl paypal cost.
Shipping: 4,00 euro

Total of: 10,70 euro
