Catching up with the thread belatedly, I can't help thinking
Avro 504 YAY!
Sopwith  1 1/2 Strutter YAY!,
SPAD XIII oh okay will get one and am sure everyone else will as well.

It's interesting that Roden even considers the Spad. It indicates an interest in the subject as opposed to JUST sales. To put it in perspective WWII fans have recently received the Fiat Cr42 and Gloster Gladiator in 1/32 scale from ICM. Some may say the WWII era is a safer bet for a wider range of types but I'm not convinced (from a marketing viewpoint) that mono plane fans will be leaping at a bi plane quickly. Again, I think it shows an interest in the subject by the manufacturer. Long live models by modelers for modelers!!

The Gladiator is a nice looking kit in the box, but as for the CR.42 I'm waiting for the Regia Aeronautica boxing to hit the stores.

"Roden have previously stated the first 3 kits of the resumed WW1 series are due out in 2021. No firm release dates have been advised yet. The three kits are the Spad XIII, Avro 504K and Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter- all in 1/32 scale"... this sounds very nice for me. Maybe, for cleary reasons (parts of molds exist) a Nieuport XVII Bis be welcome, with version of Ronny Bar profile...
