Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[RLWP]

I may have said this once or twice before, but I would love to see either a BE.2 or an Avro 504.

Des.

The B.E.2 must have been one of the most common aeroplanes of the war. Not glamorous, like the various fighters but essential. If you view the role of aeroplanes as intelligence gathering, artillery support and random harassment, these dull aeroplanes were vital.

Here you go, an Avro 504 with teeth - Foster Mounted Lewis Gun on an Avro 504 Night Fighter.

That's not teeth! That's a tooth!
These are teeth.
(Or maybe an old denture, giving how long ago I made this!)

[rhwinter]

I'd be in for an Avro 504, too - with or within teeth! Albeit a BE.2 would fit into my stash well, too...

Anything would be good for me, but a late HB W.12 with the wing radiator would not be that difficult to do from the current W.12

I could see them doing one considering they've done early and late versions on a few of their kits.

A Be2 would be cool especially in markings of a pilot/pilots that shot down a Zeppelin in one.]

Waitress! I have the same as the sir over there, a Be2c please. AND a Halberstadt D scout as main menu. Something French would taste fine as well, a Caudron or a Voisin. And please don't forget my Halberstadt Cl II and IV. That's it for the moment.

Same here. And a Caproni Ca.3 with it. Thank you.

[Des]

If Wingnuts are contemplating another large multi engined bomber put me down for the Caproni Ca.3 as well.

That'd be QUITE cool.

Like last year, I'm still waiting for that SPAD XIII

[Des]

Way back on page 1 on the 2nd October 2013 I wished for a BE.2 and here I am still waiting

I'm sure they will do one, Des. When is anyone's guess.

Myself, I'm wishing for a Friedrichshafen G.III, Caproni Ca.3, Voisin, or Farman.

Did you close your eyes and click your heels together?

And I am waiting for FF33. But I can go on waiting for one more year. I still have four kits, including the large AEG, to build. Just enough for one year. So, please, a FF33 for Christmas 2018

I think that is a very elitist attitude, Saying it's "real" modelling, that's a load of crap in my opinion.  I will point out there not a 150 page thread on Roden speculation.  For me "real" modelling is smart modelling.  I don't want to spend my time trying to polish a turd into something decent.  If you enjoy working on sub par kits that is your gig and I'll stand behind you in doing so but calling it "real" is an insult to anyone who makes models.  This is a hobby, to me it's my artwork that I do for relaxation. I don't need to prove anything to anyone.  I don't do it to brag that I built some old kit, but I'm not much of a boaster or showboater anyhow.  I'm not going to go back and build the old Hasegawa 1/32 Me 262 from the 60's to prove something....no I'l go buy the good one from Trumpeter and build a nice kit.   All I stated is that Roden kits are mediocre at best....I don't think anyone can disagree. Back to the topic, I'll wait for a good Fokker Dr.1, that's what I would like to see......

Be very very careful, this comment is boardering on personal abuse and will not be tolerated on this forum regardless of who you think you are.

This topic will now get back on track.

Des.

I don't think I'm anyone, just someone with an opinion.  Just like everyone else here.  If your opinion is building Roden Kits is real modeling my opinion is that is not.  Same thing as you, just don't agree.  If it's abuse, I certainly didn't fire the first shot, that was you....




Getting back on track, why not beg Roden to make the kits you want?  Why , because they would suck.....
