Can anyone advise on a source for PE and/or Resin upgrades for this Roden kit? I was sure I'd seen several topics on this earlier on however now cannot locate them. Supplier from Czech Republic maybe?
Was it wishful dreaming on my part??

Thanks in advance,
Lance (Kugar 39)

Greetings Lance,

The projects you have seen were probably augmented with PE from the Part of Poland sets for thr Hobbycraft 1:32 Sopwith Camel. Also our own Des Delatorre has used some Brass tubing and rod for some of his work on the Roden Sopwith Triplane. At this writing there is not any aftermarket PE dedicated to the Roden 1:32 Sopwith Triplane kit.

Thanks Stephen, saves me a lot of searching. Hopefully Eduard will add one to their other Roden targeted sets.

I would imagine that a PE fret for the 1/32nd Camel would offer parts that would be suitable for the Tripe.

I did hear a whisper from someone, sometime, somewhere that a PE set is, as we speak, being produced by I don't know who or where, and availability is undetermined, maybe unsure, some what uncertain, and the price, well, who knows, your guess is as good as mine. I hope this clears up the question about a PE set for the Tripe.................
