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

[fruibal]

This is great news to hear that Roden has taken back interest in producing WWI Aircraft. I hope that they can put the same quality and accuracy as WNW kits. For example for Siemens Schuckert D.III, I had to pay more in aftermarket upgrades that come in $$  more expensive than the Roden kit itself. I wouldn't mind paying extra for a well-produced kit. My wish list is mainly a 1/32 scale, but any scale would be welcome. Although my list is kind of more obscure, if they can produce at least some of them :

1) More Russian subjects:
- Ilya Muromets bomber, that will make justice to the defunct HP 0/400
- Sikorsky S-XVI ( it would be awesome)
-Spad S.A4 with wheels and /or skies
-Anatra DS

2) More AustroHungarian subject:
-Albatros D.III
-Hansa Brandenburg D.I
-Phonix CI
-Aviatik DI and DII

3) And finally more French and Italian subjects:
-Breguet XIV bomber
-Hanriot D.1
-Spad XIII
-Any Voisin bomber

-Any Caproni  bomber
-Ansaldo Balilla

Thanks, Dave W. for the update and if you can also contact CSM for future plans on more WWI aircraft release

Will be great to see new models on the market, if they will be 1/32 to fill WNW vacancy a H.D.1, an Aviatik Berg D.I, a Macchi M.5/Lohner, or a Caudron GIII will be welcome.
But if new 1/48 models will be coming I will be happier: a Caproni Ca3 will be the best, Hannover ClIII,Re 8, Avro 504k, any Taube, Bleriot XI, Voisin III will be great as well.
I hope they can manage at least one new mould in each scale.

Not that I have completed or really started a model in the last 10 years  (Nor did I ever get a WNW kit), my list would be:

Avro 504K
BE2C
Bristol Scout

1/48 or 1/32

[A.F. Van Nieuwenhuyse]

Now all I buy is 1/32 I would like to see
Hanriot HD 1
Halberstadt D.II
Oeffag 253
Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter
Phonix  D.I/II
Breguet 14

[Fokkerfighter]

It would be a waste for Roden to duplicate anything WNW has done. That said, I hope they up their game a bit. I'd like to see:
Sopwith Baby
SPAD XIII (two types)
Farman
Voisin
Bristol Boxkite
So, early war stuff mostly.

[crouthaj]

It would be fantastic if they could produce

any Albatros C aircraft (e.g. C.III, C.V, C.X)
Albatros J.I
Albatros W.4
Friedrichshafen FF.33
LVG C.V
Be.2

[Rick Milas]

Anything in 1/72. Particularly a Nieuport 28, Hanroit HD 1, Roland C II, a retooling of their Pfalz D iii/ iiia, and some German two-seaters
(besides the Roland C II).     Thanks Rodan.

[Dave in Dubai]

 How about a 1/32 Otto Doppeldecker from 1915.....an early pusher biplane.

The German stuff always sells.

I would like to see and buy a Sopwith Strutter, a BE-2c/e, a Vickers Gunbus, an AVRO 504 or a Breguet 14 in 32nd scale.

[Jeff K]

1/32.
i also do 1/72, but not so much for WWI. i will never buy anything in 1/48 regardless of subject.

main 'dream kits' are (in order of preference, within each country). the ones i think would financially justify the tooling are in bold italic.

AustroHungarian
Oeffag Albatros D.III (they have a head start on this one!) i'd buy multiples.
Lohner M
Phonix D.I
Hansa Brandenburg C.I

French
SPAD XIII (i'd buy a lot)
SPAD XII (id' buy 3)
Hanriot HD.1 (I'd buy a lot)/i]
Breguet 14

Russian
Ilya Mouromets (hey a guy can dream. i'll probably do ICM's 1/72 at some point)
Grigorovich M.9

German
Roland D.II
Zeppelin-Staaken (pipe dream i know. i'll probably do their 1/72 one at some point)

English
DH.4 (!) (i'd buy at least 3)
1 1/2 Strutter (i'd buy at least 2)
DH.5 (ugly ol thing, but... i'd buy 3)
Martinsyde Elephant
BE2 (i'd buy one of each variant
Bristol Scout

I hope Roden can go on and produce new and exciting kits for our community. I wish them all the best for the future.

I forgot one in 1/32nd scale that would be a fairly easy Modification: SE5.

Great topic, great news Dave and Roden,
‘All of the above’
I agree about upgrades of various old kits in ‘72 & ‘48 such as Re8 and Sopwith Pup
and in 1/32 it would be good to see the obvious ones like Dr1 update, SPAD VIII and Hanriot HD1. Albatros DIII/Oeffag update might be nice too.

Personally I’d really like to see (Adriatic) Italian and Austro-Hungarian flying boats in ‘48/32 - Macchi M5, Lohner etc
Maybe F33 and Hansa Brandenburg’s W12/29.

A Zeppelin Staaken R.VI R.30 with Propeller nose? - well a guy can dream! but I can only see it done in 1/72. Even Wingnuts might not have been brave enough to do this in 1/32!

There are others but most have been mentioned. Maybe some biggies like AEG, Gotha, Felixstowe, G111, Junker JI or Caprioni even Fe2b in a smaller scale than 1/32

Anyway let’s hope CSM and Roden co-operate to bring us some new kits. The demand is there in the void WNW have left
