Today we would like to share our plans with you for 2020/2021 In 1/32 scale we are planning to release our final Nieuport kit, in OCT/NOV. That will be Nieuport RFC Service, we believe we did all that we could to bring you the best up to date Nieuports 17,21,23. We picked 3 markings already and still need to pick the last one, any suggestion? (A. Ball`s markings will be offered in a special "A.Ball edition" later on). --Nieuport 23. B`3459 was flown extensively in combat by Capt Fullard to gain 16 of this final 40 victories including the capture of a Junkers J.I before ending its days in Egypt. --Nieuport 23. B`1552, flown by Lt.E. `Mick` Mannock, 40 Sqn RFC, (with different top wing roundels (wing repair probably? --Nieuport 23. B`1566, flown by Capt W.A. Bishop, 60 Sqn RFC (not sure if we need to add C.5 on the fuselage though) ___________ Coming up next will be 1/32 Caudron G.III, we are planning to have it ready in 2021. And the next one will be Sopwith Baby also in 1/32 scale. ___________ Our 1/35 range should receive 2 new armoured cars by the end of spring 2021. That is something unexpected, we never announced it. Garford and Lancias are also in development. Stay tuned for more armour news next week!" Nice to see Copper State is getting wacky, too! A Caudron G.III? Who would have ever thought. Untitled by Dennis SAuter, on Flickr Also, a Sopwith Baby is a welcome addition! b3f108c721d482293612e1b4fdd42c6c by Dennis SAuter, on Flickr What a time to be alive as a large scale modeller. - Dennis S.

Rick Griewski Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Yippee new kites! A bunch of us on the site have been asking for a Cauldron or other “wacky” French aircraft for years. (Sculpture man and I have been needing a VAL for years) I will now have to buy the Newport and some of the CSM armored cars so these new kits will make it out to us.

dutik Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Better you build a fistful of D.H. 2s to train your rigging and alignment skills before you open the box of the Cauldron... More WWI kits are always welcome. With wings and without. Regards - dutik Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esarmstrong Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! I love it! The image of the Caudron seems to be a refurbished machine with modern pilot and the engine is a radial. I suppose that the kit would be of a rotary-engined machine.

I just quickly grabbed a Google image so folks could get the idea. Most of the wartime photos I saw were rather blurry, and didn't properly show the ungainly lines of that craft :-p - Dennis S.

Anthony in NZ Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 The Caudron, is an awesome announcement! Thank you Copper State! Tnarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STWilliams Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 A Caudron G.3? That's far more exciting than yet another Nieuport, well done CSM! Tnarg and rhwinter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimedes Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 These are really welcome from CSM. Both are machines I am interested in. The Caudron is a surprise and looks fiendish to build but this is great to see it. An RFC Nieuport is a clear want to add to my Russian XXIII...
