LSP_K2 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I got the email today too. Looks like the Aussies will get stuck with a 10% VAT though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I think I may just preorder it just for the book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
is it windy yet? Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Glad they added the nice figure, the book and decals for another company's model and didn't gouge for it. But I'm all alb 5ed out, so I ‘ll pass on this one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'm tempted, but I have to wait. Sigh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I can see them wanting to sell them... But is there any point in pre-ordering if it's likely not to sell out like a Stone's concert? P.S. I just noticed that the sprues they're showing for MvR are the same in my Trilogy kit... So, no improvement on the spinner situation.

Gigant Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I think I'll wait for them to get serious about the Red Baron's legacy and see if they can top Roden's Fokker F.1, BTW, I am not "holding my breath". LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esarmstrong Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 ^^Maybe someone else will come to the rescue regarding the Fokker Dr.1. Have you checked out the impending foray of Copper State Models into 1/32 scale? Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Ju ^^Maybe someone else will come to the rescue regarding the Fokker Dr.1. Have you checked out the impending foray of Copper State Models into 1/32 scale? Impressive. 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.

Gigant Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Here is a review for Encore's 1/32 Voss F.1 as one of the reasons I am not "holding my breath" to be "rescued" by WnW: http://www.hyperscale.com/2009/reviews/kits/encore32003reviewrb_1.htm coogrfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigant Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) I can see them wanting to sell them... But is there any point in pre-ordering if it's likely not to sell out like a Stone's concert?

GAz In following your comments, as well early reviews of their Salmson, I think that for the price they should provide a serious alternative to their flimsy landing gear and wing struts. With the 2-A2 landing struts, for instance, without reinforcement, your finished model will tend to "lean" one way or the other. Frankly, from seeing your Roden Albatros build, in spite of some snobbish remarks, Roden still seems to do more for the money.

Gazzas 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 BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
