petrov27 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'm curious... it shows 4 paint schemes for MvR's D.V's. Did he really fly that many? Gaz Seems so - the instruction book is up on the WNW site and gives a description for each and photos though seems likely the green tailed scheme he only used on a visit to another aerodrome where pics were taken of the event....

LSP_K2 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Incidentally, it's Richthofen, not Richtofen. Bill Cross, BiggTim and Gazzas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 An industry first: providing decals for another manufacturers models, so a modeler can do that particular pilots line-up of aircraft. Albie, and tripe decals for the Roden kits. LSP_K2 and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esarmstrong Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I wasn't referencing the 1/48 lineup of kits. They have a 1/32 Nieuport 17 ready for imminent release this fall, which represents their first, and likely not last, foray into this scale. The test shots that are out there in this forum reveal what promises to be a very high quality model kit. IIRC Roden did a Nieuport 17 in this scale and that did not deter Copper State from developing their own kit. Yeah Copper State Models and long may they live... check out page 8 in the thread below: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=9428.105 Ju Just checked out Copper State. Some great WWI kits... but in the wrong scale. I refuse to build any A/C model that requires wire rigging under 1/32 scale. My vision, even augmented, is too bad for anything smaller... besides... Big and clumsy... that's me. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I am pointing out that WNW IS providing decals for another manufacturers model kits. Never been done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichenson Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I am pointing out that WNW IS providing decals for another manufacturers model kits. Never been done before. Yep, and I was pointing out that just because they say they are for Roden's kits doesn't mean they don't plan on doing those particular planes as well.

Guest Clunkmeister Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Yes, I will be pre ordering this. The extra decals are a super nice bonus. The funny thing is, I have the other Roden kits and have had them spread out on my bench, ready to be started. But something stopped me and now I know why. Having a Richthofen aircraft timeline built and in the display cabinet? How cool would that be? Edited June 25, 2018 by Clunkmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 The paint schemes evolved. As jaFu, he would have had access to a couple of different planes, in various stages of paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I've yet to buy the specific "Blue Max Airmen" (volume #5) that deals with Richthofen, but I'd imagine that will have some good information about his various aircraft too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanKB Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 $89 is good - I assume that the Sopwith Trip will be the same price. I sold my Tripe for £200 a week before the new boxing was announced. I feel a bit smug, but the bloke I sold it to is not answering my e-mails anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 You might be out of his will? WNW question: will the original boxing be their own collectors value? I have two Tripes. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
