2 new 1:32 scale WW1 aircraft kits soon.

[ALBATROS1234]

still is 29 inches .to me that's humongous.the berg on the other hand is a beautiful airframe. and there are so many options for markings.you gotta hex patterns. you got the yellow and grey splotches you got the saw blade patternyou got autumn leaf you got summer leaf pattern. there's the mustard yellow with green and red brown speckles there's even natural finish with a wood fuselage and CDL wings.plenty of gorgeous markings.hopefully they make the fuselage wooden part in one piece and the nose and upper call in a separate peace because then you can scratch build the round nosewith the separate radiator giving you probably a hundred optionsif you consider pilot markings

Lots of work for Rowan.

As mentioned in another thread, the wings will need some form of metal rod to avoid sagging.  They also need a robust cradle device within the fuselage and upper wing center section to keep it all together.

Thanks for the new on the mtls., Des. I will admit to never having built a kit that had glass fiber as one of the materials. Has anyone done so? I believe HPH's Catalina has glass fiber wings...has anyone actually built one? I'd love to know what the detail is like and how well it all goes together.

So...Caproni.....smaller than a Felixstowe but larger than a Gotha? Is that correct? I could probably find space for it but, as I said before, I don't want to pay a million bucks, quid, yen, marks or rubles for a kit that needs corrections and upgrading as their M.5 did. If Sir Peter and his crew were planning one, I pray the HPH release won't put them off! Having HPH put out a 1/32 Mossie didn't stop Tamiya from releasing theirs, but I'm not sure there's the same mark for something big and Italian...at least in aircraft!

Here are the wingspan dimensions for a comparison Michael.

Gotha     73cm

AEG        57cm

Felix       91cm

Caproni  71cm

 Michael,
Excuse me but Damn she's beautiful! Now I won't be able to think of much else the rest of the evening. I do wonder were my thing for beautiful Italian aircraft,cars and women comes from at times. Thank you my old friend.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

I think these are the dimensions you're looking for, Michael:

36
24
36

 George,
LOL.    I'm not certain but I believe your dimensions are slightly under scale.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette
Who apparently isn't the only DOM here.

[Michael Scarborough]

George, I'm afraid Gregory is correct regarding the proper dimensions.

Signora Loren is just as beautiful now as she was in those days, IMHO.  And frankly, I don't think there's anything dirty about it, old Man.  Indeed, she looks freshly washed to me.

Yes, give me a Macchi racer, a Ferrari sports car, or Claudia Cardinale or Gina Lolobrigida, and my 1/8th Italian blood will run extra red in my otherwise WASPy veins.

Buona sera ragazzi,
