Roden have announced two new model kits:

# 445 Pilatus PC-6 B2/H4 Turbo Porter Floatplane
The PC-6 is a STOL airplane first developed by the Swiss aircraft firm Pilatus in the mid-20th Century. It has been widely exported to many countries of the world, and used by the Air Forces of many nations, including the USA, Australia, France, Austria, and Argentina. After being retired from active service many PC-6's gained new private owners, and some of these machines were converted by them into floatplanes with the aim of flying them in regions with substantial areas of water surface.

# 305 Aviation Traders ATL.98 Carvair
The ATL 98 Carvair was a cargo transporter, derived by the British aircraft firm Aviation Traders Ltd from the well-known DC-4 airliner. The main difference was a cargo bay in the forward fuselage with doors opening to the front, and also the relocation of the cockpit directly above it. In all, 21 airframes were converted, and most were used by the transport company British United Air Ferries. Otherwise, three airplanes were bought by Australia, and later some of the British machines were resold to the USA, France, Spain, New Zealand, Ireland, Canada and South Africa. The type was last operated at the end of 2005, more than 40 years from the moment of their creation.
