If Roden resume production of new WW1 kits, what subjects would you buy?

[RAGIII]

Now that the next 3 kits from Roden have been announced is it relevant suggest the next 3 after that or too early?

Did I miss something, what three kits were announced.   

Avro 504, Sopwith Strutter, and probably a SPAD XIII all in 1/32nd scale

Thanks Rick, looking forward to releases and future purchases....

SPAD XIII early and late, as i understood it so i suppose one might consider that 4, but given Roden's past practice multiple boxings seem plausible (their SPAD VII for example).

I would like to see Roden produce their range of 1/72 WW1 vehicles in 1/35/32 to match the aircraft kits. Like the recent Vauxhall staff car. There are others that they only make in 1/72 that would be usefull in the larger scales. Also would like to see French and German vehicles. Regards, Pete in RI

Could Roden do a DVIII that is better than the current 2 kits out there? I think so. A nice re-entry and some parts commonality with their Dr1 possibly?

Maybe you could combine the roden DV kit with the Mikromir kit?

I could be Way off here but My Guess is that Roden was involved with the Avis/ Mikro Mir tooling to begin  with. Many of the parts are taken directly from DR1/DVI kits I presume with cooperation from Roden. JMHO,

can't get excited at the prospect of a third kit of a relatively insignificant aircraft when there are so many more significant ships unkitted in this scale.

In 1/72:
Roland C.II
DFW C.V
1.5-strutter
SPAD VII
Halberstadt II

And a host of others, but most importantly: please, please have the decals printed properly, I’d happily pay for the extra cost.

[fredjocko]

I would like to see a Hanriot HD2, an Albatros W.4, a Friedrichshaffen FF.33, a Curtis N-9, or a Short 184.

Pfalz Dr.1 !!!

Pfalz Dr.1 !!!

I would 2nd this, though I lean a bit more towards the Pfalz DVIII since it saw more active service and there are a few interesting paint schemes. Honestly though why not both?

[Syd Solo]

Halberstadt D types, 1/32 and 1/72 and 1/48.
Bristol Scout D or C in 1/32.
Hanriot HD. 2 in /32

Cheers

Any news/information/reactions by Roden themselves, so far?

Any news/information/reactions by Roden themselves, so far?

We announced back in August that Roden is resuming WW1 aircraft kit production and their first 3 new releases in 1/32 scale will be an Avro 504K, a Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter and a Spad XIII ( Early and Late variants).

Since then Roden has also invited Forum members to suggest colour scheme options for the 3 new kits.

This thread re what we might buy if they resume production pre-dates the later developments.
