Why forget about early albatros just because wnw haven't kitted them. The roden kits are very buildable and turn out nicely. I have built one and will build more whether wnw does one or not. With so many fighters never ever kitted I will keep hoping for something else something cool something different. I will never understand why some guys will only build a biplane if its wnw. Maybe they are wnw fans not necessarily ww1 aircraft fans? Idk?
For me personally it's about quality not quantity. I am a fan of WWI and a bigger fan of WNW. I just don't like building crummy kits....Honestly the Roden kits are amongst the lousiest kits out there. If I was rating kit makers I can't think of many that are worse than roden. Off the top of my head Tamiya, Meng, Dragon, Revell of Germany, Hasegawa, Fujimi, Aoshima, Miniart, Takom, Trumpeter, Amusing hobby, Panda Hobby, Rye field Model, Fine molds, and WNW are all far superior to Roden. For me I just hate spending my hard earned money or something that is sub par. Go compare the WNW top wing from their Albatros DV kit to the Roden top wing of their Albatros D III. It's no comparison, the detail on Roden is trash. Why would I continue building trash?....it's not about liking or disliking WWI subjects I just don't want to spend my valuable time on lousy models....but that's just how I roll....
