New Austrian A/C kit in production at WNW!

[rhwinter]

Ah, what a pity! But I guess, CSM will „survive“ WnW's Starstrutter as they have their great resin figures and their beautiful 1/35th scale range of vehicles.

[Jeff K]

as long as it's up to the quality of the Nieuports i'll go with the CSM one, and probably 2 or 3. if CSM's release pattern is similar to the Nieuport they'll cover any significant variants and have the 'crowd pleaser' obvious choices for markings (i'm looking to build planes for Benno Fiala von Fernbrugg and Josef Kiss, possibly more).

if the WNW kit is a significantly different variant to what's available from CSM, or has different markings, i may get a WNW one.

there's some small hope it could be a C.I, but the landing gear looks more like a D.I

I wonder if CSM will proceed, once WNW make it official. There is simply not the market for what? 4000 kits of these in the world.
It's a niche market and CSM have to feed the kids.

Perhaps the Caudron is going upscale?

that's very much not the impression i get from CSM's Facebook page:

"Great news for the model community out there - We`ve been working on several 1/32 projects and the one that was finished recently is a Hansa Brandenburg D.I. Should I mention that there are some 1/35 models in development as well? Anyway, 1/32 kit is planned for early 2020."

I really hope so, I love the stuff CSM are doing. I want both companies to thrive

Great News from CSM! I will definitely buy the CSM Starstrutter, if it’s the only existing kit then or not. I keep my fingers crossed for many other 1/32 or 1/35 releases from CSM.

"hould I mention that there are some 1/35 models in development as well? "

i'm optimistic.

I read somewhere that there‘s a Romfeld armoured car in the making at CSM.

Listed on CSM site as pre-order

looks like the Nieuports were a big enough win that they've now got several projects simmering.

maybe the armored cars did well too but it's not my thing so i've not been watching inventory on the CSM sites.

[oldalbie]

Well, it's not my hoped for Berg D. I, but hope springs eternal as they say.

Somehow I messed up the topics here, I beg your pardon: This is about the new Austro-Hungarian AC prepaired by WNW which of course is also very welcome. I hope that it‘s going to be a two-seater and not the same type CSM is prepairing at the moment.

Maybe I'm wrong, but think it's going to be a two-seater ... on the WNW CAD the exhaust outlets are on the left side of the engine, but for a Hansabrandenburg DI the exhausts should be on the right side !!!! so who knows a series of Hansa brandenburg C1 may be coming

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.

I have this vision of the WNW crew sitting around a table and giggling like schoolgirls about which picture to release next to tease us with.I hope it's a 2 seater when we eventually find out.
