In case you didn't see it, Aviattic just announced the availability of their upgrades to the Roden 1/32 Nieuport 28, see here: https://www.aviattic.co.uk/132-nieuport-28c1.html (https://www.aviattic.co.uk/132-nieuport-28c1.html)
If you already have the kit you can buy the decals and the various upgrade items individually or you can buy a bundle that includes the kit sprues. I have just taken delivery of my pre-ordered kit bundle and I have to say it's an amazing package. The upgrade parts are beautifully detailed and the decal sets are absolutely superb. All beautifully packaged as well. Richard and the folks that worked on this have excelled themselves here.
For some reason I have never been that interested in the Nieuport 28 but when I saw how this package was coming together I knew I had to have one. Which I now do!

Yes Nigel it does look a great bundle.
Lots of real improvements on offer. Cowling, engine, that distinctive seat etc etc.
If I hadn't already built this kit, there is one particular detail which would have motivated me to go for it: Rickenbacker's plane had those attractive posters pasted to both wings, but in the basic Roden kit they were printed on paper, and you do kinda notice the thickness once applied and stuck down. Aviattic's decal set for his plane naturally includes it and I'm sure it'll look much better :)
