1:72 scale model kits
« on: May 29, 2015, 11:01:34 PM »
I have complied a list of kits that are, or were, available in 1/72 scale, with the intention of making the availability of such to be more easily known. My knowledge has huge gaps, especially where resin kits are concerned, and I have no knowledge of vac-form kits at al, so I would ask other forum members to add their knowledge so that we can, together, compile the ultimate 72nd scale list of WW1 kits.

If you have something to add, please post in the form of the list and I, or Des, will copy it into the list.

Hi Squiffy,
  This should help with the vac form side of things.

Re: List of all kits, past and present - 1/72 scale only!

Thanks for that. That list seems to be well detailed, so I can probably leave out vacs and your link to that list ought to do the trick (and save me a considerable amount of work!).

Squiffy,

Some additional info for your list:

Bristol Scout by MAC (several boxings), Pfalz D.III and D.IIIa by MAC, Breguet 14A2 and B2 by AZ Models, Nieuport 23 by Eduard, SPAD XIII early and late by Eduard, Ansaldo SVA 5 early and late by Fly, Salmson 2a2 by Choroszy, Phonix D.I, D.II and D.IIa by MAC, Roland D.VIa and D.VIb by MAC, Fokker D.VII by MAC (again several vesions), Roden Nieuport 24bis, Roden Nieuport 27, Roden Nieuport 24.

Al are injection molded except the Choroszy which is resin. I think all of these are still available either through hobby shops/internet retailers or e-bay.

Hope this helps.

Mike

From memory there are a whole stack of 1/72 Pegasus WWI types that I think were taken over by Freightdog models. Also used to be interesting subjects from Meikraft. Sorry I don't know much about 1/72 but Google should reveal some gems under these names. HTH. Sandy

Look at Ardpol's site as well as H R models and Omega resins for a whole bunch more.

Merlin models as well. Now i can recall DH.5, DH.9, strutter, fokker D.VI, Pfalz D.XII, fokker E.IV...
Also A-Model produce Avro 504 and its russian made variant  (MU-2 if i remember well in two boxes) and Nieuport IV. ICM produces fokker E.IV and pfalz E.lV. Smer is producing Albatros D.V, Fokker E.lll and Fokker Dr.1 all repacks of eduard without PE and different marking options. Olimp produces jn-4 jenny in three boxes i think...

Thanks for all the replies. I have added the posted additions. Going through websites will take longer...

It's just a shame it all looks so scruffy. I typed the list out in MS Word but when I copied and pasted it to here, it all went wrong.  >:(

Meikraft models Caproni and am pair of other kits, I must check which ones
Red .star Anatra DS
Merit SPAD VII and vacuform downed Balloon

There were also some pre.war models, like the Eole and the Antoinette produced in france, plus some double kits from life like.
The Eole was also produced in vacuform.
Of course I have almost all of them stashed somewhere far far away.
