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

[Captain Slower]

A better D.III which gives you the addition of the OAW and the Austrian variants.

Hi
I think a new WNW quality SPAD vii or Albatros III would be a good money maker to make the other great selections here. Although the Roden Albatros’ and SPAD xiii are pretty good.

[Eric Armstrong]

Anything they do will be nice.  Many good suggestions in here.  Whatever they do, I will buy it.  They are the only company doing WNW-superior-quality models in 1/32 scale.

Hi all,
I'm still holding out and wishing for the Hansa-Brandenburg D.I 'Star Strutter',

I'm a 1/48 fan, so anything they would make in that scale would be great.  I already have there FK8, Caudron G.IV, and Dolphin in 1/48.  It would be nice if they bring back or update some of their old resin kits.

As for new planes, I would like to see the following:

Spad 11:  Lots of great paint schemes in US, French, and Belgium!

Spad 16:  Great French and US options.  There is a restored Spad 16 in the National Air and Space Museum in Billy Mitchell's scheme.

Caudron R11:  Unique three-seat escort fighter

As far as I know, none of these have been modeled in 1/48 (or any scale?)

in order of preference

OEFFAG Albatros D.III
Hanriot HD.1
DH.4
Martinsyde S.1
Roland D.II

[KiwiZac]

Another vote for the DH.4!

Although I do not like this wishlist-thing, at least not for Copper State Models, as Edgar has said and written many times that WW1 aircraft kits for him are not money making, but money spending projects for CSM. If we buy enough of his wonderful armoured cars, he might do a single seater, perhaps the Starstrutter. So this wishlist thing to me is more a self-satisfying thing, nothing that will trigger Edgar to tackle one or another of our wishes here, I am afraid. Having said this I have to admit that many of those wishes here appeal to me, too. Sadly mostly twin-seaters like the DH.4… But most appreciated by me would be a Halberstadt Cl.IV: It's a twin-seater, but as small as a single-seater…
Happy modeling, all!😊

Hi,
True. He might change his mind. If not maybe only Special Hobby remains an option for continuing 1/32 in injection moulding( or a new company) Lukgraph are knocking out of the park with resin.

[Dave W]

Don't forget Roden. Vladimir has told me that as soon as Ukraine deals with the Russian invaders the good folk at Roden will be back at work to produce more 1/32 models. The Spad XIII Late is near, the Avro 504K is in development and the Sopwith One and a Half Strutter is on the list too.

Special Hobby are aware of the Hanriot topping our most wanted poll. Copper State has a Bristol Scout in development and the Hansa Brandenburg D.1 is still in their planning. But don't expect CSM to tackle big two seaters given their cost/ sales return issues. Small single seaters are more likely.

Yes, Lukgraph becomes more and more interesting! But as for now I am still a bit shy as I have never before worked with resin… (not to mention all the other materials involved, like 3D- printed plastic, photo etched parts, brass and the like.. 😨) Might thatbe a new attac of German Angst?! 😱

[rhwinter]

Small single seaters are more likely.

So, no Halberstadt Cl.IV from CSM for me, Dave? 😥

 Also 'Lukgraph' that are producing models not already covered and at the rate of 4 to 6 a year,

Feels like Lukgraph sticks to early war and or floatplane two seaters but maybe a Halb Cl.IV would fit at some point into their lineup or maybe one of the later war Albatros two seaters....

[Ringleheim]

I would love to see a 1/32 Caudron G.4.

They have the work on the G3 in that scale already done, and they've done the G.4 in 1/48 scale already.

So hopefully they can pop out a G.4 in 1/32 without too much trouble.

Seems like a no brainer in the wake of the 1/32 G.3, but who knows.
