What would you like as the next Copper State Models kit ?

[Dave W]

Following the popularity of their 1/32 scale Nieuport 17 kits Copper State Models is now considering its next kit subject choice, and Forum members are invited to suggest what the next model should be.

Modellers’ wish lists have become a popular feature on hobby sites but in this case, Copper State is an active member of our Forum and they’re listening to your ideas.

Since its launch with the 1/48th scale Sopwith Dolphin, Armstrong Whitworth FK.8s, Caudron G IVs, resin Handley Page O/400 and the 1/32 Nieuports, Copper State has revolutionised aircraft modelling, and its acclaimed 1/35th scale Lanchester armoured car has led to a Russian version and other armoured cars due for release soon.

Here’s the chance for Forum members to speak up and give Copper State your wish list for the next subject.

Please post your wants in this thread, mindful that the subject should have some commercial sales potential. Other than that, it’s over to you to say what kit you would like to see and would buy.

Hi,
on top of my wish list for CSM next subject - there are three points in 1/32: Hanriot HD1, Morane Saulnier AI and F.E.8.

FF. 33. FE. 8 would be very fine, too.

The Hobbycraft SPAD XIII has been OOP for a long time so I would love to see a new one( 1/32nd of course) Moving beyond the obvious is All 1/32nd:
1 .BE12
2 .Breguet 14
3. FE8
4. SPAD 11 or 16
5. Halberstadt DII or DIII with a twin gun option as used in Jasta 4.
6. Sopwith strutter.
7. More NIeuports of later versions

when the Niuport was announced and released I had a fear that WNW would release one and knock them out of the game. Having built 2 of the Nieuports I no longer have that fear. CSM can go head to head on quality and detail with them or anyone else!

Hanriot and Breguet,or anything Austro-Hungarian.

[Umlaufmotor]

I would like a Eindekker, the Moran Saulnier Typ N "Bullet" with correkt interieur and exterieur, please.

I hope, these two are realiseable choices: Hanriot HD.1 for a plane in 1/32th scale and for an armoured car in 1/35th scale a german Ehrhardt vehicle.

[rolanddvi]

I would love to see a Hanriot HD.1, SPAD VII or XIII or a Phonix D.I/D.II.

[rhwinter]

Oh, yes, and those k.u.k.-airplanes could be proper topics for CSM!

[coyotemagic]

I would love to see a 1/32 scale Hansa Brandenberg D.I, or any other Austro-Hungarian subject.
Cheers,
Bud

I love the Hanriot, but I strongly suspect WNW will do it, as they have one at TVAL.
I would like to see a starstrutter- no rigging, quirky.
Macchi M5 for the colour schemes.
Albatros DIII oeffag would be a sure hit, with extra boxings for other versions doable
The Sopwith strutter offers a lot of options too.

[drdave]

Start with upscaling the caudrons though!

[Doug Mace]

A first rate Saulnier Bullet would be delightful, no doubt... but as for commercially viable?....the obvious choice that would fly off of Copper State shelves, pun intended, would of course be 1/32 scale Belgian and Italian Hanriots…forget trying to second guess Peter Jackson...it's (wonderfully) futile....but I too would love a Phonix DI/DII.

[Eric Armstrong]

In 1/32 scale it would be great if Copperstate were to do a whole family of Nieuports, starting with the 10 and 11 and working up to the 28.  I understand that the Nieuport 21 and 23 are on the way.  Austro Hungarian subjects, such as the Phonix D.I and II and Aviattic Berg series would be fantastic, too.

I think a Spad would be very popular.

I do wonder whether the guys at WNW’s would at least give you an inkling  - if you said you’re planning on so and so, surely they would say go ahead or hold back.

The Wingnut’s Lancaster must surely have had a dramatic effect on HK’s Lanc?
