Very easy available in from most online shops. I recomend Modelimix

Cheers, Nico

Sorry Terri, now when I read my earlier post I see it had no point.

I meant to ask that what 1:48 scale German two seaters kits are on production atm? Are the Mirage Halberstadt and Eduard Roland the only choices?

Hi Tuomas , no worries man I'm the same way with out my morning coffee .

For kits that are available the Eduard kit of the Roland is , there is the weekend edition or the new orange boxing . Mirage kit of the Halberstadt is already out on the market . Nice kit but will not be able to get it here in Canada so it will be one which I won't be able to get
Eduard has the F.2b in five ? different boxing . 2 of them are the limited editions which might be hard to get , but I have seen some out there still just have to shop around for them . As for the Albatros C.III and the Hannover these kit's are long out of production , might be able to get one on e-vil bay but will be very pricey !!!!

Roden kits are still easy to get in 48 scale , not sure about their 72 line . They have the Sopwith 1 1/2 strutter in three different boxing's . Then there is the DH-4 and they also do the F.2b in different boxing's as well . Have a look at your LHS , might have to order one in or check on line . Copper State Models has 2 seaters as well but these are resin kits not easy put together . Bluemax also has a great selection but are hard to find each kit is limited with only 1500 of each made The company has been sold to freight dogs but will still carry the bluemax name and they are re-release some of the kit's . Lot's of vac kit's are out there as well such as joystick , Merlin , Sierra scale , Lonestar .......the list goes on and on ............................

Don't forget the Lindberg 1/48 Curtiss JN-4. With a bit of work it turns out pretty nice.

There are many variations on the design and even some mix and match. I built one as a Curtiss JN-4Canuck. It was alot of fun to figure out the control rigging. There must be a mile of wire in the real thing. I also re-built the engine a bit to make it look a little more like the Curtiss OX-5. The propeller needed work, so I used a left over propeller from an F2B and sculpted it to a more scimitar shape than the 'toothpick' provided in the kit. Add a couple of spoked wheels and, hey presto, one of a kind.

there are lots of refernces on line.

It is now molded in white, and can be got for as little as $14 Can, I bought mine for $17 Can.

I can't commit to this at the present time, but maybe a little closer to the projected time frame. It would be fun to do another after having one under my belt.

Terri thanks for showing me the kit but I'm planning to build something in bigger scale (1/32-1/48)

Cheers Nick

Oh Yeah, I forgot, I also still have two Roden BE2c's in the stash too.

Here is as far as I have gotten with the first build of that kit, It's been at this stage for a year now.




I should probably finish this one before I start another.

Cheers,

Hugh

Yoy know Hugh ! Now I feel complede to build the one sitting in with the rest of the fan club ..

Shhhhhhhhh , listen ...........don't you hear it !!! I hear it ................

Great build so far , now you just have to finish it . Missed seeing your builds !

But I have to ask ,,,, what happen to the 1/24 scale one you started a thread on ????? :-

Cheers Nick

A nice challenge could also be Karaya's DFW CV. Forgot (how could I!) I also got one of these in my stash, together with two other options: Eduard's Albatros CIII, and High Tech's Brequet XIV. Choices, choices....

Add Hugh: I remember you started that Be2 together with mine...

Cheers, Nico

Me, me, me please, I'm in with at least a Eduard F2B

Choice's , choice's ............................Know what you mean Nico . Every time I look at the stash of kit's I keep wanting to change my mind ...................Bluemax's kit of the vickers gunbus or Flashbacks W-29 , Copper States Models W-12 , Aviatik C.1 , Grigorobich M.5 . The list just go's on and on .....................................

Andrew , it's about time you took the bait !!! Glad to have on .....................

I think I've found my kit.. Special hobby 1:48 Lloyd C.V ! There is not much central powers 1:48 2-seater offering, but after searching for while I found perfect one.

Has this kit p.e. or resin parts ?

Mark I'll try to find these special hobby kits or bristol f.2b from wingnutwings.It might be a german too!Sorry if I'm so undecided and thanks for beeing so good with me

Cheers Nick

Tuomas , I knew you would come up with something great !!
The Lloyd is a neat looking aircraft . Nice little kit as well . The detail is crisp and the moldings are nicely done .

Yes Nick the kit comes with PE parts and resin .

Here is a site for you to have a look at .............................it has over 1400 model kit's on WW1 aircraft Some are very hard to find now but this dates back to when companies started making them

ww1kitdb.exofire.net

@ Terri As this is a wonderful idea you may count on me too. I wil search in my confused brain and dig out a nice twoseater. Of course it will be an Austro Hungarian item. Maybe an Etrich monoplane... like the one I do stripdown or another wired piece.
@ tuomi: This Lloyd C.V. is a very lovley item. I finished one lately if you need reference information please let me know

Peter,

It would be really great to have you with us. I can't wait to see your Taubes!!

Mark

Which one? Regrettably, I didn't get the Junkers. The other two are high on my list. But I do love the wooden fuselages. And I am of old Prussian stock.

Terri thank you for the link !

Super Peter , glad to have you join the GB and sharing your skills !

No trouble at all Tuomas ............................
