Copper State Models new 1/32 scale Caudron G.III preview peek

[Mike Norris (UK)]

Hi all,
It's good to see moulded clear parts instead of acetate sheet windscreens some manufacturers use,

A moulded part is may be easier to handle but often total out of scale in thickness.
So I prefer the acetate screens but with a PE frame, as provided for example with the CSM Sopwith Dolphin kit. That was a wonderful in scale solution, even with additional PE levers!


Cheers,
Frank

Hi Frank,
I agree, but then a flat windscreen is a lot easier to create using photo-etch and acetate than a curved windscreen.
That said, acetate screens are definitely more in scale for thickness,

That looks fantastic, and the schemes are quite interesting, too. I'm really, really torn on this one... It's interesting, quirky and right up my alley, but I hadn't thought about how big it actually is!

I'm definitely going to get one of these!

Alright, so a friend of mine (also a G.III fan) has been following the development of this kit very closely and recently advised he's bought two: one for him, and one as payment for me building his. 

I'm not religious but please pray for me.

Does anyone know the latest on when this kit will actually be available for purchase?

I see it's already a month behind schedule.

Ringleheim, you could ask Edgar Liepinsh, Copper State Models' head (and soul), directly.

Hi all,
My Caudron kit arrived today (UK).
I have to say the sprue parts, decals and manual (with a separate poster) look amazing.
CSM kits in my opinion are up there with WNW kits,

Very excited to pick this one up and its in my favorite scale to boot!

[Borsos]

I got the notification today that my kit is in the mail. BIG smile …

Oooh, I expect to see some new builds when I get back on Boxing Day!

I received an email the other day stating that my GIII was mailed.
