OldTroll Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Those tricky Kiwis have done it again. The Salmson 2A2 is now available to order - in TWO versions. The second version is Salmson 2A2 in USAS service. The modeling budget just took a big hit in my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Looks like they are the same kit except for the decals, according to the parts diagrams and parts list in the instructions? Just ordered the USAS boxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTroll Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 The same sprues are used for both kits. They differ only in which parts are used/not used for the various versions. Decals and instruction booklets are, of course, unique to each kit. Just got my shipping notice, so maybe they'll be here for Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Good news indeed. Thanks Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Not to rain on anyone's parade, but zero interest from me. Why dont they do a Fokker Dr1. I know Roden makes one, but that didn't stop them doing Albatros'es (Albatri ?). Or a Hanriot HD-1, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 It's Christmas in....December! I've got the new AMC DH-9 on the way....and the French Salmson, just ordered today! This is great! I still have to get some of their other kits, but I've built so many Fokkers and Albatri in my life that it's just a joy to FINALLY start seeing these other aircraft. Woohoo! Tim W.

Or a Hanriot HD-1, I really wish they would too, and perhaps (and I think there's a possibility), they will one day. As to the Albatros fighters, I don't believe Roden/Encore ever did the D.V or D.Va, only the D.I, D.II and D.III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Not to get too far off point, but apparently Roden just released a new version of the Spad VII C.1 that includes the ability to add skis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I have the Roden DI, II and III. They build up nice, but are a lot more work compared to how the WNW kits are engineered. I have the DVa from WNW. I have only built the DI thus far. The DII I have is the Encore kit with the extra resin and PE and a nicely done Oswald Boelcke figure. I still want to get the Pfalz III and XII, the DVII and the Rumpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dekenba Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 First French aeroplane - should open the gates to some lovely SPAD's and Nieuport's not to mention Breguet's. Far too many German and British models available from WNW. Not that that it meant as a criticism - I love WNW, they are there with Tamiya in terms of quality and I have most of their kits - just that there is some low hanging fruit that they should go for in terms of French and maybe even Italian WW1 types. A Curtiss Jenny would sell well in the USA I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I'm hankering for a Nieuport 28 for some weird reason. A Spad VII or XIII would be cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dekenba Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I've got Roden's Nieuport 28 in the stash. I should sell it before WNW launch their version and consign it to obsolescence - not that it's a bad kit, but who can compare to WNW for WW1 1/32 kits?

LSP_K2 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I've got Roden's Nieuport 28 in the stash. I may still have mine too, though I'm not sure without a trip to the dungeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 The Roden N28 is a pretty nice kit frankly - their DrI is also good, especially the Encore version. I guess WNW may do those eventually but I bet it could be quite awhile out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the 1:32 Roden/Encore kits are pretty decent from what I've seen, but still, the same kits from WNW would have to be much better, and just imagine the super high quality WNW decals that would be included.
