Seen on Facebook, Copper State Models has on the slate for this year in 1/32 their previously mentioned Caudron G.III, as well as a Bristol Scout and Sopwith Baby, though the latter will not happen until 2022. There are other things on their list, but these are the ones that caught my attention. Here’s their list of planned releases for 2021/2022, from their Facebook posting:
1/35 Line
35007 Italian Armoured Car 1ZM WW2 service
35008 Garford Putilov Armoured Truck
35009 Erhard Armoured truck
35010 Krupp-Schuman Armoured mobile guns, model 1899 w/57mm
35011 Italian Armoured Car 1Z (twin turret)
35012 Renault 1914 Armoured Car
35013
35014
35015 Kings USMC Armoured Car
35017
35018 Fiat-Terni Tripoli
1/32 Line
32006 Caudron G.III
32007 Bristol Scout
32008 Sopwith Baby
1/72 line
72001 - Italian Armoured Car 1ZM
72002 -
-
Looking forward to the Bristol Scout and methinks plenty of versions too.
-
Just saw this on their Facebook page. Really looking forward to the Sopwith Baby.
Cheers

Excited and sad at the same time ...nothing new for us 48'ers :-\

A replay to a question on Facebook says the they are still working on a 1/32 Austo-Hungarian plane, number 32009. So that would make a realeas date beyond 2022, sadly.
Would love to see the Scout, but that Hansa-Brandenburg D.I is very much higher on my wish list.
-
And I always hoped for a Hanriot HD.1 in CSM quality..!
-
Bit disappointed to be honest. I'll certainly buy one Bristol Scout and probably a Baby, but not interested in the Caudron or the ground-pounders.
Don't really understand the strategy either. The Nieuports made so much sense - I bought five - popular choice and lots of variants to release to maximise sales. But with these you really are limited for any future variants.
Have to agree with a Hanriot - would have offered many more future markings and sales opportunities.
-
Wallet will be lighter when released... :o :o ;D
-
Interested in the Caudron G.III and Sopwith Baby but only if they release 1/48th scale versions.
-
Ooh, happiness and modelling heaven! 1/32 is just great for me and these tired ol' eyes! Those armoured cars and trucks look Great! Erhard for me! Thank You CSM! Marc.
-
Looking forward to any 1/32 releases CSM has planned.

The same for Me although I am happy to see the Bristol Scout has moved in front of the Baby. But Hey, that is just Me 8)

well, the G3 is in my dreams.... I only hope it wont be too big.... ::)

The Hanriot and albatros diii would be real cash cows. All those schemes and minor tweaks to do the Austrian one, or a HD2

Just to whet the appetite for the Copper State Caudron later this year, here's an image we found on Facebook with some useful detail for a Caudron G.III

As yet it appears Copper State have not finalised their choice of markings for this kit so they are open to forum members' suggestions.

I do hope Copper State haven't forgotten the Hansa-Brandenburg D.I. completely..

When those CAD's of the "star strutter" were released I thought the CSM offering looked more impressive than the WNW CAD images. CSM has nothing to be ashamed of when being compared to WNW.

For me, the Caudron is the release of the year. :) And I can’t stop dreaming if a Caudron G. IV in 1:32

No, Kent, they haven't!
Edgar Lepinsh of CSM writes that they „hope“ to release their HB D.I „after at least two other [of their] announced 1/32 kits“.
-
I am truly thrilled about the Caudron, and sincerely hope it appears in 1:48 someday to sit on my shelf with its bigger brother. I’m also quite pleased with both of the other releases. Keep at it, Copper State!
-

Diversification.
Maybe they just want to appeal to a wider range of customers. Not every WW1 modeler wants 5 variants of the Nieuport, I’d bet that most only want one or at most 2. I know I’d rather have every plane on my shelf be as different from the next as possible.
-
It seems like Eduard is the only ones helping to keep 1/48 scale alive.
Ever since WNW started 1/32 scale kits that appears like the direction WW1 aircraft kits are going.
I'm still hoping that Eduard releases a new updated Brandenberg D-1 like they did with the Eindekker and SSW D-III kits.

Hey, Chuck, go ask Edgar Lepinsh about his attitude towards 1/48th scale WW1 airplane-kits! He is very „responsive“ and interested in customer-ideas, -hints, -tips and the like!
-
I am so on board for the Bristol Scout!!!!!! Bring it on!

I think one of the things that makes 1/32 more attractive to WWI modelers is the relative difference in size between WWI and WWII aircraft. Generally, WWI scouts were much smaller that WWII fighters. Thus, the relative size of a WWI aircraft in 1/32 scale is very similar to 1/48 WWII aircraft.

That's a good point. I just did a quick google search on the wingspan of a 1:48 Spitfire (235mm), and it's only about 1 inch (25mm to be exact) narrower than my 1/32 Sopwith Camel (260mm).
-
This is big news, a Bristol Scout is top of my wish list. :)
-
As for Caudron G-III, I would like to be in Polish colors.

Bristol Scout will be on my shopping list ;D

Hi all, Got my hands full at the moment with other things but look forward to these and other CSM future releases :D
-
Me want this one in star spangled livery! (Hope the pic is not to big!)
-
I can't wait to see this model

The CAD renderings look awesome! This will certainly be My first AH aircraft to be built in any scale 8)
RAGIII
-
The HB D.1 certainly looks good but the one I am dreaming of is the 1/32 Caudron!
Anyone know anything about the timeline on that?
-
Now we're talking ;D
Bring it on Edgar,
Mike

More renders of Copper State's Hansa Brandenburg D.1 project.

Glad that the D.I is still planned for release - I had feared it had been axed.
It is probably my most wanted subject of all of their announced future releases.
And wow those 3d renders look fantastic....
-
Mine too Patrick, although I'm happy to get my hands on any 1/32 and 1/35 offerings from Edgar.
Cheers,
Dave.

Hi all,
I wonder how much work would be required for CSM to create a Phönix D.IIa from this model.
Apart from the wing struts, wing span and weapon location, there are a lot of similarities.
Phönix based their design on the license built Hansa-Brandenburg.
Just thinking out aloud ;)

Mike, you can ask Edgar from CSM directly, he is a very responsive, customer-friendly guy!
-
"I wonder how much work would be required for CSM to create a Phönix D.IIa from this model."
Good observation, Mike.
Or we can buy two kits and convert one ourselves into a Phönix - although given Edgar's variations on a Nieuport theme, a similar segue into Phönix construction would make a lot of commercial sense.
Sandy
-
What an excellent suggestion, some A-H subjects in 1/32 would be very welcome.
Cheers,
Dave.
-
Perhaps converting it to a Hansa Brandenburg KDW, with floats of course!
(https://i.imgur.com/ax4vN6R.jpg)
One can dream right?
Kent
-
Starstrutter on floats ...now your talking !
Alexis
-
That KDW on floats is just so appealing! First time I've ever seen that.... And as for the D.1 - just gotta get that! One of my all time favourites... The Berg fighters would also appeal a lot, but I reckon the kit manufacturers stay away as there are just so many versions and detail differences...
-
Edgar of Copper State Models has provided the Forum with two more previously unseen renders of their in-development 1/32 scale Hansa Brandenburg D.1

Thanks Dave - I think we have a new 'king' of kits,
Mike
-
Please make the Brandenburg D.I also available in 1/48th scale to replace the long out of production poor quality Eduard kit.
-
I`ll second that. !/32 kits are great to build for us oldies with weak eyes, but where do you put them.
Cheers
Andrew
-
Fanastic, when is it scheduled to be released?

Pure art – this I will get! 8)

+1 Great stuff!

Here is a ... "me too..." on the "Star" along with the Scout !
Ed

Hi all,
There's a bit more update on the progress on the CSM facebook page,
Mike
-
So looks like Caudron in Sept. then the Scout... expect late 2022.
Ed
-
If so that puts the 'Star Strutter' a long way off,
Mike
-
The armored cars are the thing CSM apparently has chiefly chosen to put company time and assets into production, with aircraft taking second place.

That buys me more time to finish my scratched Bristol Scout, still going to buy the kit though!

Apparently they are selling really well. Gives them a good cash flow and will eventually get us more A/c models

That’s great - they look interesting but not my scale or thing (never say never) But whoever out there is buying them good on you. I’ve been buying a few Nieuports hope it helps. Not having WNW taking peoples $ probably also helps CSM (?)
