Not exactly a new release, but it was laying all lonely in the LHS today....  So it came home with me... No clue when I'll build it, but I know there is rumour this will be oop soon and I came to the whole wnw thing late, thats my excuse and I'm keeping to it ;).

    Great snag Ray, one of their best IMHO. I have one in the case and an un-built one in the Stash, and look forward to getting at it someday!
Cheers,
Lance

Hey Ray nice one.  They will all be OOP at some point so that reason works for me.   ;)

Thanks to Pheon Decals and RAGIII...  ;D

Bought this 1/32 F.I (cheap!) from a Polish vendor at today's ESM (Dutch IPMS nationals). Not a bad kit I think... and it's tiny! :)
My youngest boy (3) loved it -it's got eyes painted on it and 3 wings!

Jeroen,
Congrats on getting a good deal on the Triplane. If One of My builds has inspired someone to build a kit then my purpose in posting is fulfilled! Enjoy!

I agree with Lance on all points, up to and including one built and one in the stash!

Bought this last week, great photos and text.   Would certaining make an interesting model.  I didn't know the fabric was printed camoflague on some until seeing the photos.

Thanks, RAGIII! :) I also got that Roden Albatros D.III for Sinterklaas and last week got the Pheon/Aviattic Voss decals to do both. I'm not sure if the Albatros will end up as Voss' machine, but 90% will be useful for replacing Roden decals anyway. :)

I probably said this somewhere else, but I now have the Stahltaube in the queue.

Most likely get a Dolphin early next year if Santa does not come through.

A2 sized spraybooth on the way. Not cheap, but then again what price do you put on your lungs?  :o ;)

A very wise purchase Bob.

I just recently received the 1:32 scale Tamiya Mosquito, what a beautiful looking kit.

Slightly off topic but a biplane - got the Airfix 1/48th Walrus for Christmas. They keep stepping up their game!! Hopefully Airfix expands their WWI range and tries one in 1/48th.
