That is an excellent kit, Stephen. You're gonna love it. It's on a par with the best injected kits on the market. Radek has announced that Karaya will be producing a 1/48 scale injected Martinsyde Elephant, due for release in July. Has anyone else heard anything about this?
Cheers,
Bud

Looks like "someone" is putting out videos of WWI replicas aircraft in flight.

Hi Gang

not sure it was already mentioned. If so I do appologize. Seems Hippo model is really going to issue their 1/48 scale Gotha



Sprues seem to be ready. PE and Decals are at least designed. See here: http://hippomodels.sweb.cz/ for pix (the sprue shots are new to me ... look "eduard like")

cheers

Hi All

The Roden webstore has published a picture of the artwork for the coming 1:32 Sopwith Triplane – promising it'll be available in august... (althogh looking at todays date this seems a bit optimistic)

Roden Sopwith Triplane

Hi Steffen

I think you're right. I thought I saw the etched fret dated 2010 when Tim posted a link a little while ago, so I reckon there is renewed life in the project. It could be awesome if it does get released!

All the best

Hi all
I really like the look of the Gotha and although I don't do too many bi-planes, I will be in the queue for this one.
All the best.
