Hi Stephen

Stunning!

And a sample of the early version arrived here in Blighty today, along with something to scrap with...



All the best

Rowan

Oh you lucky, lucky people!

Hi Mikael

We certainly are! As Stephen's already had a chance to play with the E.III, I've concentrated on the DH.2 to begin with, getting ready for the review. The basic fit of the nacelle and lower wing promises a really stable build:



All the best

The " Top Secret" items sounds intriguing... Wonder if they have anything to do with a certain Fokker type soon to be released???

Ok all you Aeroscale members its out here first. Taurus Models has given the "ok" to pass out the info.

1:32 Oberursel U.I 100hp rotary should be available within a week or two.
1:32 Oberursel U.0 80hp rotary
1:32 Oberursel U.III 160hp rotary
1:32 Gnome 100 hp rotary

He is hoping to release one engine every month. Each model will be available in two versions: engine only and engine with equipment and display trestle.

The obvious plus for us is that there will be no seam in the engine cylinders like we see in plastic kits that often split the whole engine fore & aft. As we can see by Taurus Models previous rotary sets we will probably be in for some fine detail & design!

Now since we see the progression here, its easy to see where he might go next. . .

Could'nt sleep, so I went up and had a look at my computer..., Guess what – The Fokkers are here!!!

– Three of them together with what looks like four extra sheets of decals – Oh WOW!

WingNutWings

Its 3.30 A.M. here, guess I'll call it morning and start some serious window shopping...

Mikael

Wow, wow & wow!!!!!!!Leave it to WNW to hand us this at this time!

Listen carefully, you can hear the modelling world's credit card's screaming in panic.
