godzilla1985 0 Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) Hey Olham, I thought your handle look familiar if you use the same at LSP. I use to post and visit there quite abit untill about a year ago. Got into a big scape then about the cost of model kits driving the hobby to the brink of collapse, wasn't very well recieved I moved on and found much better sites that actually showcase the newer WWI AC kits available, LSP seemed content to just keep rehashing articals on the ancient Revell 1/28th kits. So what do you think of Rodens next 1/32nd scale releases the DH.2 and the Siemens Schuckert D III ? I think Rodan is suppose to release four more 1/32nd WWI Ac this year and my inside contact said one is going to be the Albatros DV/a . Just a heads-up for anybody that might dabble in model kits or have not built one since they were a young lad. There are several very nice WWI AC model kits available right now in 1/32nd scale. They are all newer tooled kits so assembly is fairly easy, also a fair amount of aftermarket is available so you can add lots of enhancements and different individual markings if you desire. All these kits (most) can be had for $60.00 USD or less. Here's a short list RODEN 1/32nd: Albatros family: DI, DII, DIII (several varients) RAF Se5a Woolsey Viper version and Hispano Suiza versions Fokker DrI and FI Fokker DVI SPAD VIIc DH.2 (out this month) Pfalz D.III Siemens Schuckert D.III (soon) AVIS 1/32nd: Fokker DVIII (E.1) SPECIAL HOBBY 1/32nd: Nieuport 11 Nieuport 16 Morane Saulnier monoplane Hobbycraft 1/32nd: SPAD XIII Camel F.1 (Le Rhone and Gnome powered versions) Fokker DrI and F.1 (cheaper then Roden kits but less detail and not as accurate).

Rickitycrate 10 Posted April 11, 2009 Wow! Thanks you guys. I'm a modeler and that Wingnut site has fantastic looking kits and all those reference materials are fab! For now I need to build the kits I have. If I ever get a real job I may have to get some of these new kits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dixieflyer 0 Posted April 12, 2009 Yes, and I have seen reports that U.S. orders from Wingnuts have arrived, with free shipping, within one week. There are many more in the planning stages. We can thank Peter Jackson for starting what looks for all intents on becoming the premier WWI a/c modeling line. Warren Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 12, 2009 Wow, the "coming soo" section looks promising at WWW.WINGNUTWINGS.COM And the RODEN 1:32 plastik kits are surely great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rabu 9 Posted April 12, 2009 The most amazing brass, scratch built WWI plane 1/16" scale models I have seen are by Ken Foran (click here) Here's his Camel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dixieflyer 0 Posted April 12, 2009 Agreed Rabu, Ken Foran's aircraft aren't just models, but art! I wish I had a fraction of his talent. Warren Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godzilla1985 0 Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Wow just found out about the wingnut site earlier today from a friend and came back here tonight to link it and seen we have other modelers up on this good stuff I might have to put my Roden Se5a and Pfalz DIII on the back burner after seeing the Wingnut versions WOW! And an Albatros DV and a Sopwith Pup coming too :yes: And finally some 1/32nd 2 seaters also, the LVG and Re8 will be high on my list, and a 1/32nd Gotha! I think I just died and went to heaven Ken Foran is just amazing, I'd like to have 1/1000th of his skill Edited April 12, 2009 by godzilla1985 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted April 12, 2009 Those kits look excellent. I might have to get back into modelling just to have that Harry Tate on my desk when it's available. At that scale the built examples could do with turnbuckles on the rigging though. There's an excellent method of fabricating them here for anyone who needs it.

Olham 164 Posted April 12, 2009 Wow, look at that Nieuport, that you will find under DEJ's link - breathtaking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
