Wow is right , a SSW and DH-2 in 32 scale .....must have now , body getting weak ...can't hold out any , longer ........................................................

I won't say I told you so. BUT the SSW D.III / IV and DH 2 were in the top 5 choices. the SSW in both 1/48 & 1/32 and the DH 2 in 1/32 from last year's wish list.

Roden is certainly listening to he Moelers! It will be interesting to see if the Siemens sells as well as the more mainstream kits Roden has produced thus far in 1/32nd. As for the DH2, WOW! What abeauty it should be in this scale. All of that rigging, opportunity for wrinkled fabric, etc. I hope we didn't shoot ourselves in the foot by asking for the more unusual aircraft in the survey. I don't remember if the Albatros Dv and Fokker DVII placed?

Now I don´t have to worry about this year. 2009 is full Holy Makaroni

Lets make a new wickerseat

The DH-2 is so ugly and so ungainly..............that it looks "interesting". "Interesting" is always a good thing. And....................1/32 to boot!

No worries Dave everyone gets to speak up. Also folks Eduard's Weekend Fok. Dr.I is out for your purchase at 19.95 USD. This is Fok. Dr.I 545/17 as Flown by Ltn. Hans Weiss of Jasta 11.

Looks Like Tom Sollers of Microsculpt fame (the new lozenge decals) has found a nugget for us.

Sorry, but this image Is a bit out of focus. I just preordered 2 kits.

The Halbie looks interesting - how do we pre-order?

Also on the Roden 'In processing' page is the Beech UC-43 traveller - the military version of the Beech Staggerwing.

Now this is one that makes me sit up and take notice.

But, you know, what is glaringly absent is a Sopwith Triplane in ANY scale!

very good question , I would like to get myself one .

Hi Terri -

A picture says a 1,000 words. I noticed the MIrage Website listed on the box in the photo above.

Same topic was on the "drome " and I pre-order one as well . You have to set up an account first to be able to do it .

Question is , when is the SSW going to be released from Roden !

The Halbie looks most inteesting...wood decals?......wing supports.........etched set.

I have Resin figures and accessories and a diorama set for my other modelling interests from Mirage. their quality is very good......and this looks very enticing.

There is also talk about them coming out with the Hannover as well .

I was was going to go with, ". . . it was revealed to me in a dream. . ."

So where is a 1/32 Albatros D.V? I have been patiently waiting for years. (sigh) I guess I will need to be patient for another year or two.

Well, the thought of building a DH 2 in 1/48th scale is kinda scary. In 32nd, well I'm in for that one.

Roden, D.V. Please. I will get at least five of them. I promise.

I don.t have the link but Special Hobby has announced a Nieuport 10 in 1/48th. Good for my Storks collection!

Well after having been denied access to this site for some months for the crime of having a hotmail email address - it now seems that Microsoft has been granted a reprieve and I've been allowed in!

I shall behave myself, so that the site's owners will not have cause to regret their generosity.....

On the subject of new stuff, the lateset issue of Windsock announces that the next issue will be totally given over to an exciting new line of kits of unprecedented detail and accuracy. Scale is not mentioned specifically, but indications are that this will continue the march of 32nd scale. As to who the new manufacturer is, the greyed out photograph behind the announcement is clearly of a Junkers JI and is an exact match for this photo on the Vintage Aviators site:

So I think the source is clear. I have been talking to my bank account (currently in therapy anyway) to try to soften the blow when it comes........

Greetings Sir;

It is good to have you back! Chair for you in the mess. Steward dust of Mr. Broadbent's setting.

Thanks for the welcome, Stephen!

Steward, have you got any cushions, that chair is a bit hard....

Just noticed on the Roden in Process site that the picture of the DH 9 in 48th is back up - allbeit listed as another Bristol Fighter Mk IV!
