Just saw on Facebook that HpH Models has announced a 1/32 Aviatik Berg D.I. This is what was on Facebook: A brand new 1/32 scale kit is under process of preparing - the Aviatik Berg D.1!

Happy day! About time the Berg got some love.
-
Yep, a Phonix would be awesome as well in 1/32.
-
Awesome news :D
-
That is very good news, a new 1:32 Scale Kit release by "another" company! (and a totally new subject, thanks for the news!) :o 8)
Cheers,
Lance

Now that's thinking outside the box!!

This is so great! I was ever wondering, why WNW doesn't do the DI, because of its so colourful schemes. So I am more happy that it will be done by an other brand. May be some other companies join in and do some more WWI Stuff.

And maybe finally WNW will release some A-H subjects.

Manni,
Perhaps it's also due to be the WnW 'surprise' Christmas release ::)
-
Let's cross the fingers. I want to do something more colourful.In the cold, dark winter time.

Fingers crossed!!!

I am really keen to see, how HpH will deal with their Berg. I built one several years ago and have to say that studying all the materials to get it at least about right was a hard job. Similarly to most austro-hungarian aircraft, basically every single plane was unique in this or that respect.
-
That's true Ondra, there is a real individuality about the Bergs. In addition, there were six different manufacturers each with a different configuration of the placement of the radiator, gun position, cowlings, etc. I also wonder if they'll include decals for the Tarnstoff, which is also a fascinating subject. For all the various types and some nice profiles + background I recommend the Ja-Po book on the subject.
-
Yes, knowing this problems with the identification of particular aircraft built by so many manufacturers, I suppose it it the main reason, WNW is not getting into this delicate subject. They tend to produce as exact models as possible and probably so many unknowns are too much for they internal tolerance (sir PJ's).
Or maybe simply sir PJ does not fancy A-H mess in the aircraft production ;)

there is a new picture of this project on HPH facebook site ( the engine)
https://www.facebook.com/hphmodels/photos/a.623861297707533.1073741827.620126918080971/1200737806686543/?type=3&theater (https://www.facebook.com/hphmodels/photos/a.623861297707533.1073741827.620126918080971/1200737806686543/?type=3&theater)
you can see on this engine picture a serial number, so we can deduce a color scheme of the kit.

Although being a strict Western-Front modeller (until now), this one looks really mouth watering...

Nice. The link also shows the fuselage framework and engine. We wants it precious.
-
I like the look of this aircraft and have the datafile for it. Just wonder what it will cost and what the quality will be like. Think someone reviewed another kit from them, but were not overly positive about it, can't remember which. Think it was one of the seaplanes.

It will be expensive! I have their Macchi M5, it has some issues but it is exquisite all the same. I will definitely be in line for the Berg.
-
Here's Des' build log of the HpH Macchi M5. You'll see he is quite frank about the kit's flaws, but you will also see that he managed to build it out to a stunningly gorgeous model:

Very, very nice! May be a bit pricey, but welcome...

I do like the look of the aircraft and would like to add it to the stash one day, although with the release of the camel it will be put off further. Thanks for the link Bo, I think I will wait to see if someone else tackles this first. In a moment of madness, I had preordered the Aviattic Ansaldo "Balilla" (along with some other stuff) and that will be my first resin kit to be built. It is also the most I have ever spent on an overseas order, hopefully nothing will come up needing cash :P (Camels not included). Also glad I don't smoke or drink. :P

Madness!? That was the sanest thing you've ever done ;D
