What would you like as the next Copper State Models kit ?

[rhwinter]

I would love to see a 1/32 Caudron G.4.

They have the work on the G3 in that scale already done, and they've done the G.4 in 1/48 scale already.

So hopefully they can pop out a G.4 in 1/32 without too much trouble.

Seems like a no brainer in the wake of the 1/32 G.3, but who knows.

Hm, Edgar recently wrote somewhere that a kit of a Caudron G.IV would not simply be a G.III with one more engine to it, but a whole new approach. And it would be a huge and, thus, expensive kit. And, given the fact that CSM doesn't make their money with 1/32 WW1 aircraft-models which don‘t sell all to well, but with their 1/35 armoured cars, there's not much „probability“ for a G.IV in 1/32th scale - unfortunately.

You are correct! He also said that the HBD1 Starstrutter would take 10 years to pay off the mold/ development costs. So we should be grateful that He/ CSM are planning to go ahead with that one eventually. For Me I am content with what he has planned and will develop at his own pace. I am looking forward to the Bristol Scout for sure. CSM is as good as WNW but we should remember it isn't much more than a one man show and doesn't have a Wealthy Benefactor

Well said Richard and Rick!

I was drawn like a moth to a flame by the caption of this thread, and spilled my guts when asked what I wanted, but we have to be realistic.

I think what Edgar does as a one-man-band is absolutely great and we should admire him about it!

So what the three of you are saying is: I shouldn't suggest a CSM 1/32 Vickers Vimy kit after all?

FE-8 , 1/48 or 32 scale

Nooooo, KiwiZac, got me wrong! Everything up to a Jumbo Jet is fairly ok! 😁

Well, that's two of us at least!

Make that three, Zac.

I didn't mean it as harsh as it sounded. I'm still hoping for a HP O/400 in 1/32

AVRO 504K
1 1/2 Strutter
SPAD XIII (late)

And don't you say „Roden will do those“: As I don't like „re-engineering“ kits, but simply want to build them, I would love to have those in CSM-quality (knowing this wish will stay a wish)!
But don't you get me all to wrong: I really like e.g. Roden's Siemens Schuckert SSW D.III and sure will buy their 504K, Strutter and SPAD!

Happy modeling!

The possibility of that is not so far fetched.  There are some WNW molds out there that were on the verge of release when WNW went belly up.

I have to admit I made it as a jokey suggestion as a 1/72 Vimy is all I need, but a 1/48 could be fun for my purposes too.
