VERY NICE!!!

Any word on price? A 1/32 resin kit won't be cheap but it would be nice to be pleasantly surprised..

Looks very nice, as asked before, any news on price?  Would love one or more price permitting.

Judging by their other products guess between 95-165 Euros ( US $100-175) Their kits are generally Not as complete with extra goodies as the Aviattic Balilla , but usually have some PE,  and a limited decal option.

I do not expect it to be a monster $500 kit like the Catalina, although this could be a breakthrough kit for them since this is more of a "Home Grown" subject.

HpH were not forthcoming with the price of this kit, guess we will have to wait until it is actually released which is not too far away. I built their Macchi M.5 when it was first released and was quite impressed, there were a few faults albeit minor but it did build up to be a very nice model. If their Aviatik Berg D.1 is as good as their Macchi it will be a very nice kit. BTW,

This is looking like it may be the second resin aircraft I will have ordered.

Yahoo!  I wish it were plastic instead of resin, but you take what you can get.

I'll definitely keep my hands off their huge 0/400, but that one looks like it has to get into my stash... It's really a well looking kit and a great airplane.

HpH site says release set for October 3, 2017, says includes 3d printed engine!

 After doing the engine in 1/18, they probably felt that would keep price of kit down without a loss of detail. 

Site shows just one marking option with the hex fabric on wings & fuselage, so that leaves room for Rowan to do his thing!!

That is not the release date.  That is the update day.  Remember they are in Europe so it is DD/MM/YYYY instead of the USA MM/DD/YYYY so their page was updated on March 10th, 2017.  It should be out soon though.

Their Facebook page has an update with a build up of the interior, this is going to be pretty spectacular.

HpH have released more photos of their upcoming 1:32 scale resin Aviatic Berg D.1 which includes a 3D printed engine, they say that the release date is very soon and going by the photos it looks like it is going to be an excellent kit.

Now all that's needed are some more decals for the wide variety of markings on these.  The only problem is the different sub contractors all had slight or sometimes not so slight variations in cowlings, armament placement, engine displacement, etc., etc.  Hint, hint Pheon.
