That is a very smart choice by HPH. It's in the Wingnuts scale but a subject unlikely to be kitted by Wingnuts so little chance of being scooped. Esoteric enough to appeal to many modellers with the added bonus of being a WW1 floatplane. Subject to price, it should sell well.

Let's hope HPH are encouraged to do more WW1 subjects.

Great to see this aircraft finally kitted in 1:32 scale, I have been waiting for one of these for a long time.

Ron,
Don't even go there! That attitude has stymied Roden, Special Hobby, and HobbyCraft for
years. It's not "Wingnut's Scale". That scale was alive long before WNW came along.
They just took it up a notch. There are still "Modelers" out there.

who is hph, i dont recall hearing of that company before?

[Jamo]

One of my most favourite WWI aeroplanes, must have one of these. I have seen their Catalina in 1/32 and it was absolutely extraordinary and beautifully done 

[Des]

They also have a bare bones Airco DH.2 in 1:18 scale, the pictures of it look really good.

Take heart, Ron!  They're pretty pricey.  With the Letov at 170 euro and the Catalina at 600, I'm sure their M.5 will be somewhere in between and they might just price themselves out of and you in to our hearts and wallets.
