Thanks Bud for the link, I've added my two cents worth, whether they take any notice or not is another thing.

I've put my suggestions in - basically anything WNW have not already done, so French & Russian subjects!

Quite why WNW insist on sticking to German & British subjects is, I think, to leave the other nationalities to other makers - kind of like a non-competition pact.

Roden need to wake up to this.

Where are Roden asking about future releases?  I can not see anything about it in their website.
It seems just personal (dreaming high) wish lists for me, not an specific Roden's research for future releases... ???

Just click on this link and it will take you directly to the correct page.

If you go to the first entry, you will see that it is a request by Andrey, cheif engineer of the Roden team.

Just checked on how the poll was going. People requesting WW1 aircraft
must outnumber all the others by at least 3-4 to 1. That should give Roden
something to ponder.

It is true.  I beg that Roden did not leave us in the hands of an unique 1/32 WW1 manufacturer...  For 1/48 Their kits are amazing and I have lots of those. 
Eduard is leaving us focusing jets and german WW2 also... :'(

Sent my input, such as it was. Didn't have much to add because it's all pretty much been put out there. I did find the requests for 1:72 anything a little troubling, though. Can you believe that there are people that actually want to build those? I thought they were doing it as penance or something.  ;)

Yeah, I'm a little disappointed in the 1/48 scalers response, but any vote for WWI subjects is ecouraging.  We're doing really well in that regard, so let's keep it up and spread the word.

Reading through all the responses on the Roden site it is quite obvious that 1:32 scale WW1 aircraft are proving to be the most popular choice for new kits. Hopefully this will be a wake up call for Roden and they will step back into the ring and start producing kits that people are asking for, it's great that a company has actually asked what the customer wants.
