I found some new? decals over at Hannants from a company called Begemot (anybody heard about or used them before?).
They are two sheets of russian subjects, one for the Nie 11 And one for the Morane Saulnier type N
The sheets are available in 1:32, 1:48 and 1:72 scale. Looks quite interesesting for something a bit different.

Mirage is also releasing Lublin R.XIII Ter / Hydro Reconnaissance seaplane
scale 1:48 cat. no. 485003
During 1933-1938 the Lublin R-XIII was the most popular liaison aeroplane. A total of 288 in all versions were built. From 1938 on these aircraft were gradually withdrawn from service and replaced by more modern RWD-14 Czapla (Heron) aeroplanes. Nevertheless, the inter-war period saw mass use of the R-XIII. The type was used in liaison, naval and sports aviation. It participated in foreign visits and rallies. In September 1939 the Polish Air Force still used some 150 R-XIIIs, including 50 in first line units.

This is from Colin at Freight Dog - Blue Max.
He just sent me a note letting me know one set is enroute to me!
Quoted Text
". . .Also ready for November release is a new Blue Max item, a resin cast conversion set in 1/48th scale for the Sopwith 'Comic' Camel Night Fighter. Designed for use with the Eduard Camel kit, this set includes a complete new fuselage and upper decking, twin Lewis guns, navigation lights and Holt flares all finely cast in resin. Also included are decals by Fantasy Printshop for two RFC aircraft operating from Hainault Farm in Essex during 1918 (one of which claimed destruction of a Gotha bomber), and an AFC trainer based at Leighterton. The 'Comic' conversion involved moving the cockpit further back and mounting the Lewis guns above the wings, therefore removing the Camels 'hump' and giving it quite a different look. . ."

The WNW "News" section now shows two new (?) kits for December with delivery cut off dates starting Dec 2, 9 and 14 for various areas to get them by Christmas.
Let the speculation begin as to which of the 8 TBC it will be.

Looks like Hannants have secured some stock from WNW in time for X-mas – looks a bit pricey though... Hannants WNW section

Tick, tick, tick tick. . . Look for it. December is coming. If they say the 2nd is a cut off date the release in December may come 1 minute after midnight on the 1st their time. . .16 hours earlier in the US.

Anyone care to take a guess as to what the new releases might be???
Personally I'm guessing (hoping) for the Fokker DVII and the FE 2b... Though I guess it might also be the DH.2 and the Fokker EII/EIII....
Oh, and I'm also guessing it will be February 2012 before we actually have any kits on our desks, at least here in the northern hemisphere...

It's probably a better place where they spend everyday building models, being happy and content

I saw on Hannants Future list AZ Models is releasing 1/72 Morane-Saulnier Type G, Type H and a float-plane version of one of those. I haven't seen anything on their site about it yet, though.
