I have to pretty much agree with Ryan. I have followed this thread since the beginning and haven't seen a suggestion I wouldn't buy. Some quicker than others, but I'd buy them all.

I'm looking forward to the announced first batch and can't wait to see how Roden has improved things, not that I ever found anything they did that was bad except a few decals maybe.

those asking for other scales, and more esoteric stuff...

bear in mind
a) further releases will likely depend on sales of these first three
b) the ratio of esoteric to popular needs to be fine tuned. undoubtedly my beloved UWD had a role in sinking WNW if sales are anything to go by (and they are)

that said i, too, will buy at least one of everything, and more than one of things with an extensive service record.

I'll second that, will go well with the Gotha and AEG.

1/32


I’d go for one of these because I missed the WNW Gotha. I seriously doubt Roden will consider it though. WNW might have. We can dream.

A 1/32 FF G.III?
Are you guys wishing the death knell on another manufacturer?
Only kidding, but I know I'll buy several SPADs, Strutters and 504's, but would pass on another giant in 1/32.

Exactly, my friend. That way we'll have the trio of German bombers.

this.

except i'd buy one (ONLY one, there's the problem from a sales point of view. no one does a flight line of these things). and if it's go big or go home time, i'd prefer a 1/32 Ilya Mouromets. and Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI
