Revell
In 1/72 scale,
Albatros D.III Revell 72 4328 New Kit Jul-07 .
S.E.5a Revell 72 4323 Reissue Aug-07.



Are you sure the DIII is a new mould? I saw pictures of it taken at the Neurenberg toyfair and to me it appeared as the old mould.

The DH 2 is listed as 1/144 scale on the boxtop!




Thats what I was told. "New Mould." But I will believe it when I see it.

Greetings all;

I have to say the recent announcements of the possible flood of 1/32 scale kits has come as a surprise to me, but I wonder if it has any relationship to the average age of the modern modeler?

I sure hope not. While I'm not "old as dirt", I'm also no "young whippersnapper" and still - and will until I die - build in 1/72nd.

I build in 48th and 32nd I like the 32nd because my eyes aren't what they used to be.

hi Guys
According to the Swedish distributor Sindcore The big Pfalz is due to hit the Swedish soil the second week in Jun. He uses to be rather quick to get them to Sweden, I´ve already pre ordered one.
