I believe what you're thinking are the exhaust outlets on the left side are actually the manifold intakes. Judging from the more recently added undercarriage CAD image I still think it's a D.I.

Cheers,
Eric

unfortunately, i agree. C.I undercarriage struts look to be a more obtuse angle. the sudden uptick in A-H subject matter makes me cautiously optimistic that one day i'll get my hands on the OEFFAG D.III without having to convert a Roden... and that there will be a C.I.

C.I is one of the more interesting, and interesting-looking, 2 seaters of the entire war IMO.

Wingnut Wings has confirmed its mystery aircraft model in development is a Hansa Brandenburg D.1.

Wingnuts has uploaded a CAD image of its project to their site.

Other than it being a 2020 release no further details are public yet but we can look forward to having two state of the art 1/32 Hansa Brandenburg D.1 models next year, from Copper State Models and Wingnuts.

No. To me two Hansa-Brandenburg D.I in 1/32th scale by two great manufacturers is nothing but a pity!

Seems rather unbelievable that they’ve doubled up on this!

Have to agree.. what a shame

But great subject though!

my first thought was what a shame both companys releasing the same kit then after 5 min I thought great the same kit from two companys,if one sells out theres still chance to get one from the other and both will be great to build.happy happy days.

Despite rose colored glasses, I sadly agree with you. Of course I want to support CSM.

What were the chances?

Hello,
I am new to you and maybe I don't have much experience in WWI aircraft but in my experience I think CSM will release Hans-Brandenburg D.I under the WNW banner and it will be written from WNW by CSM. The reasons are several mainly financial possibilities and a few smaller ones like appearing on other markets. This may mean closer cooperation. What can really be very fruitful for us.

An interesting thought but No, it will not be the case here! Trying to keep a positive spin I will say that at Least CSM is getting some very positive publicity in places that they were not getting before. There is a post on the WNW Fan Page on Facebook and some posters have actually Mentioned CSM in a positive way...something I have Not seen before on that page! So there will be 2 great kits of a relatively Esoteric aircraft, Good Times for 1/32nd scale Modelers IMHO. I have already stated My intention to go with CSM so this time WNW loses My Money

Others will decide as they choose.

Everything is possible

. However, I will not insist on my conclusions

, but what I see after the offers and publishing plans of CSM will go the way of the release of Nieuports and maybe, what I have in the future the great hope of the Spad family, and let's not forget that CSM also wants to release a wide range of great vehicles in 1 : 35 and additional However, it will probably be as I say, it is likely that HB will be released in cooperation. Due to the enormous cost of producing new forms for Niuport, HB can give HB WNW plans and drawings and chew the basket for a tycoon at a given moment and draw mutual benefits, and use the saved funds for other projects. The market in the world at the moment is based on joint spending sharing costs and ideas.

Rafal,
I agree with Rick, this is a model of the same aircraft but designed separately. Compare renderings - for instance: fuselage parts, the pilot compartment up to the engine bed, the fuel tank, the connection of the tail plane to fuselage, optional fin (WNW) - these are simply not the same molds...

You are right, my mistake.

Even cool as will be two the same from different companies.

It will be possible to compare how different companies of given structural elements deal with given problems. I suggested such combinations as Tamiya and Iteleri and others, recently my favorite company in 1/35 Tasca / Asuka which released the model converted from Tamiya.

well,Well, I was wrong .... it's the game

:)but I'm a little disappointed, I would have preferred a hansa brandenburg C1 or other!!!!and not a double HBD1 starstrutter .... $:-\$ $:-\$

Woops.....

That seems a bit unfortunate for two manufacturers to produce kits of a very niche subject unbeknown to one another.
But marketing choices aside, am very happy for those excited enough to add this to their collections.
Also delighted that my credit card balance remains intact once more.

yeah i think i'm the one making most of the pro-CSM noise over there. lots of those folks already using CSM figures and stuff, so they've been pretty receptive to the idea that this will most likely be as good as a WNW release.
