Hey Carl! There is that 1/32 Albatros D.V I couldn't tell you about. Looks like someone leaked the info. It first showed up over on the Britmodeler site and the Junkers was the only product on the "Wingnut" home website for weeks. .
So, how much longer must we (read this as "I") wait. I guess I better start hiding some money away.btw, Did you notice the paint job on that D.VII? It seems I have recently seen that somewhere.

Since the scale seems to be neglected on this site, for whatever reason 
I would like to chime in and let people know that AZ Models is planning a Morane Saulnier Type L , and a Pfalz Type A.I and A.II in injected plastic, in 1/72nd.

Long overdue and much needed..! The parts & decals look pretty nice!
Now if only Eduard, Roden & Wingnuts 'down size' some of their subjects, we'd all be happy.

On the bottom of the Wingnut Wings upcoming item page they have a Gotha in 1/32 scale. I don't know about you, but that's what I'm really interested to see come into being.
I think I may need a bigger house!

Text from Tom Sollers, "I just received the latest Squadron catalog and on the cover is the Encore 1/32 RAF SE5a in McCudden's markings. The kit includes a resin figure of McCudden and resin detail parts to modify the kit (bulged cockpit sides, etc.) I have not seen sprue pictures, or seen the kit "in the flesh" — but my guess would be that this is the Roden kit with upgrade parts — same as Squadron did with the Albatros D.I release."

Here here Matt! - not all of us are interested in 1/32 scale... still, they go where the money is, just a shame for someone selfish like me

An equal amount of all scales would be an ideal situation, but not economical for the manufacturer. As stated by Brad, they go where the money is. At the moment there seems to be a trend towards 1/32 scale, especially WW1 aircraft, so it's only natural that the makers will produce more of these kits. It does'nt concern me at all who makes what and in what scale, if thats what you like to do, well, do it. I prefer 1/32 scale WW1 planes, but, if there were none available I would build a different scale, it's the old adage - supply and demand - if the demand is there they will supply it.
Cheers.

Fly.. new to me, clearly Polish. Interesting choice of subject too. Looks good from the small pics even on the link though they arent that much bigger.
Can you shed any more light Stephen? Standard of the kit wise or your opinion on anything else they have done? I'm presuming you havent actually seen it in the flesh of course.

Stephen,
You will keep us informed of availability? This is one of my favorite subjects even though it was a mediocre aircraft at best, just cool looking. I have the Blue Max kit, its a nice model and pretty accurate but they are always a challenge to build!
Regards, Dwayne
