Sweet! Thanks, Edgar.

[Eric Armstrong]

Any time the CSM Nieuports get additional markings, that is a good thing indeed.  Want!

So here is the box art I was talking about yesterday)


Not yet published
but we showed it at Nuremberg Toy Fair, not that much though)
and we are planning to have it ready for Telford 2020)

Thank you Edgar! And Fullard is a great choice!

[ThePenguin]

That looks great!

Hi Edgar, great selection for cover, can you share the other marking options.  Not pushing, inquiring minds would like to know.

I need to sell a few 1/32nd WW2 kits to get ready for this one and get a 21 also

That box art is just stunning, Edgar!  I love that low ground-level perspective and the morning mist.  Beautiful rendering of what promises to be an exciting kit.  I will definitely buy these.  When will they be available for pre-order?  Waiting anxiously right now for the imminent arrival of my XXI and XXIII.  Thanks!

Best regards,

Bob

Bartender, serve me another!  I have several of these.  I will have Nieuport 17-23 in several nationalities.  Found an Italian Ruffo di Calabria figure for my Italian Job!

[Captain Slower]

That box art is worthy of a print!

I have often wondered how many more victories 'Fullard' would of gone on to claim had he not fractured his leg.  Who knows, perhaps the break saved his life. We will never know 
Soooo happy to see his kite in a CSM box.

I will be adding to my collection. Be rude not to!

Edgar, that Fullard ship is divine! it is exactly what i was hoping for. Hazell's and Campbell's ships will be easy enough to do even if you don't provide decals, as they're also 1 Squadron. Will you have decals for one of Bishop's?

i will need to add these to the list. i still don't have enough of the early XVII to do all the planes i want, and now you're making my list MUCH longer! thanks for that, i'm looking forward to these RFC kits.

Great artwork. Put me down for a RFC version now (But after reading about Billy Bishop’s controversial VC won’t be building his)

i will, i usually go for "historically important" and "interesting story," not necessarily heroes (Barker, on the other hand, is all of the above as far as I'm concerned, and Collishaw).

i draw the line at Goering however. mainly because i can't stand to look at him or his ship.

About the markings that we are currently picking/making)

Nieuport 23. B3459, was flown extensively in combat by Capt Fullard to gain 16 of this final 40 victories including the capture of a Junkers J.I before ending its days in Egypt.

Nieuport 23. B1552, flown by Lt.E. `Mick` Mannock, 40 Sqn RFC, (with different top wing roundels (wing repair probably?))

Nieuport 23. B1566, flown by Capt W.A. Bishop, 60 Sqn RFC (not sure if we need to add C.5 on the fuselage though)

This three will be in the kit, what other markings you would like to see in the kit?

[rhallinger]

Well Edgar, that’s a very nice selection of markings!  No easy choice there—I’ll need at least three kits.   Very exciting!

Best regards,

Bob
