Maestro Mike Good does it again in 1/48 for Model Cellar. Below Mr. Good comments. The figures shown here are larger than 1/48 and served as the the prototypes for the production 1/48 items.

"Hello All,
Here are images of the new 1/48 scale figures of the Richthofen Brothers which I sculpted for The Model Cellar. It should be noted that these figures were sculpted earlier this year before Eduard announced their figures which come with the Fokker Triplane/Albatross DV boxing. The Eduard kit and the associated figures came as a complete surprise to myself and Paul Ondeck at The Model Cellar."



". . .Our figures show the correct relative heights of the two brothers, unlike the Eduard figures which appear to be the same size. Also, each kit includes alternative heads, with or without hats, and will be available as the pair or each figure can be purchased separately.

The inset photo shows the original sculpture of Manfred. The figures will be available soon from The Model Cellar website.

Cheers!!
Mike Good"

Ola Guys

I have to say I'm absolutely not into Aircraft or the figures associated with them. However this is a set I would definately love to have. Even though it is not the scale I usually built. The poses are really nice. And so is the detail.

Very nice.

Those are great looking figures. The finish on them is fantastic for 1/48th. I have the Eduard figures, and these compare very favorably to those.

Hi folks,

Thanks for your interest in our products, and thank you for the compliments on our figures.

Sorry to say I was previously unaware of this site until only a few days ago when Stephen invited me over to have a look around. ...AWESOME SITE!

I'll be sure to include this site when we post announcements of our new releases.

Watch for more WWI aviator "STUFF" in 1/48, 1/32 and 1/12 busts!

Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul

It's great to have you with us and many thanks for your kind comments regarding Aeroscale! Stephen has worked wonders in building up our WW1 section from what was, in all honesty, next to nothing when we kicked off.

I'm certainly looking forward to seeing your next releases!

All the best

Hi Steve,

That's awesome, just AWESOME!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

We would like to thank EVRYONE here on Aeroscale for the support and patronage you have given to our figures. We strive to create quality figures that are well sculpted, cleanly and finely cast, and are easily assembled with litle to no clean up and perfectly mating parts. We plan to continue to expand our line of 1/48 and 1/32 WWI aviation figures (as well as our 1/12 collector's series busts) with the same commitment to quality as before.

Thanks again everyone,
Paul

Well they did it again folks. Now for your pleasure in 1/32 the Gebruder von Richthofen!


Quoted Text

Hello to everyone here at the Aeroscale,

The Model Cellar would like to announce our next new release(s) for '09: Manfred von Richthofen with his dog Moritz, and brother Lothar - in 1/32 scale (54mm). They are sold separately or together as a combo set.

Sculpted by Mike Good, the detail is clean and crisp right down to the Pour le Merite and the Airman's badge. ...plus a fantastic rendition of Moritz! These will make great additions to the 1/32 Fokkers and Albatros kits you folks have been biuilding here on the Forum. Or, they can be displayed just as stand alone 54mm figures on a pedestal.







Hope you like them,
regards,
Paul
The Model Cellar
