Dryden Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I am in the US and there seems to be a general dearth of resin figures having anything to do with WW1 in 1/32 scale. There was a gorgeous series of figures by Resin Wings/ David Allen Wings cockpit figures (maybe a different name now) but I cannot find any information and emails to David directly went unanswered CSM has a few and I believe Aviattic and I was able to find a couple of good deals on Alibaba but I would say that all of the vendors combined only show about 10 different characters with the exception of Resin Wings. Virtually none made outside of Europe which means that the freight prices are high. I have been looking for US hobby shops that list these vendors with no luck. If anyone, particularly in the US, has any information or guidance I would appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drevelia Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I was able to contact David through his Facebook page Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryden Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thank you both. I will try to contact Dave again. Unfortunately I don't use face book but its probably worth it to get access. I would love to see WNW get the rights to distribute these...they are stunning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob MDC Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I think David is away till the end of August but he is still in business with some new releases shortly Bob D.B. Andrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryden Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Bob: Fantastic news I will contact him when he returns Readoak has some gorgeous castings but nothing specific for WW1...they do have a stunning Russian woman pilot WW2 vintage that would make it worthwhile to build a vintage fighter model to display with her. I am not used to getting this much help this quickly from forums....think I'm going to love it here. Thank you all Dryden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Don't forget the beautiful Model Cellar figures; some of them are truly excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryden Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Kevin: Re Model Cellar I already have the Boelcke and Billy Bishop. They are very nice and I am planning on using the Boelcke with the E1 WNW. Right now I am looking more towards mechanics and fitters. I am also searching for a WW1 vintage trailer in 1/32 which I could strap a Junkers D.1 (wingless) onto. The lead time from aviattic and hgw is very frustrating ( I'm 65 and just waiting for the eyesight and the steady hands to start failing)so I am trying to find sub-distributors in the US or Canada that have some good access to airfield supplies for dioramas. Thank you all for responding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDave Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Copper state and Kellerkind miniatures are both in Europe but the figures are great. I know both proprietors and they are great fellows. https://www.kellerkind-miniaturen.com/1-32-54mm/ritter-der-luefte/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDave Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Yellow house miniatures are Russian and do some figures too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
