It’s taken nearly four years to reach page 150 and I’ve read every one of them. So, I think that a contribution from me is overdue.
If you take all the 1/32 WW1 kits from all the manufacturers –Academy, Amodel, Aviattic, Hobbycraft, Roden, Special Hobby, Wingnut Wings and the rest, there is one area which has not been covered. It’s not SPADs, Sopwiths, Nieuports – it is all the aircraft from one of the major powers in WW1. I mean, of course, the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Italy is covered (SPAD, Ansaldo etc) as is Russia (Nieuport) but absolutely nothing from the KuK – no Phonix, Oeffag DIII, Hansa-Brandenburg. Copper State is producing a standing figure of what looks like Brumowski. Does that mean that they are contemplating a 1/32 KuK?
Whatever, let’s put aside the desire for more SPADs, Fokker Dr1’s and others and send a loud message to those who make the decisions that it is about time that the KuK is represented – even if it is only a conversion kit for the Roden DIII – Please!
