Hello Stephen.

Thanks for all the info on the latest and soon to be released kits, but have you heard any whisperings from Roden regarding any 1:32 scale kits for this year. They have been very quiet about their intentions and repeated requests seem to have fallen on deaf ears.

By the way...

I've read a rumour on some other forum, that Special Hobby is preparing a Roland CII in 1:32... Just whishful thinking – or has anybody heard or read anything about this?

Oh – and if this would prove to be true...

Great news all around. Roden does it again and I will most certainly be adding the Sopwith Triplane to the stash. The Oeffag D.lll looks delicious as well. I hope that Eduard are considering doing the same to their older molds of the D.lll and D.V. Articulated control surfaces and more accurate landing gear and engines would be most welcome.

I am looking forward to building the Sopwith Triplane. As nice weather continues on here in the great upper midwest, my Albatros languishes, with little here and there. I want to finish it this week, with photo's following as there is the TCAH meeing this weekend. The rest will wait until fall, and rain and snow.
Exciting times for the WWI aviation enthisiast and modeler.
