New stuff coming from Aviattic

[wmoran]

I see that Aviattic has been busy lately.  They have announced a MvR figure and cookie-cutter decals for the WNW Dolphin (CDL (2 shades), PC10 (2 shades), and PC12) and lozenge for the Pfalz D.XII.  Here is a link to the announcements:  https://www.aviattic.co.uk/new.html.

I have a Pfalz D.XII awaiting paint and decals, so I will probably order that set, and I will have to try out the CDL and PC10 decals on one of the two Dolphin kits I have.

Thanks for sharing. I have added the MvR figure to my Cart. Just need SWMBO permission before pulling the trigger

Seems you are not alone! I have never had a quieter three months since starting Aviattic...the less than enthusiastic response to this thread speaks volumes.

Best wishes, Richard

Hi Richard, not everybody respond to posts, but hopefully our wallets will let you know how enthusiastic we are about your products.  All the best in your future releases.

Your products are simply superb - the best of their type available anywhere, easily superior to WNW's kit offerings.

However, Aviattic has a huge range of decals. Cookie cut, varnished, weathered, linen, PC10, etc, etc. The WWI aeroplane modelling market is a niche and may not be big enough to support such a big range, especially with WNW kits - your target kits to a large degree - now being fairly expensive? I'd love to buy Aviattic decals for all my kits, but I can't afford to buy all I need in one go, so I'll buy them as I start each of the kits. I build a WNW roughly once every 3-4 months, so my purchase rate will not be very quick, and I may choose finishes that don't need lozenge, etc.

 Ditto the above comments. Outstanding projects and fantastic service.

I don’t build any 1:32 plane that has CDL surfaces without using your linen decals. I really enjoyed building your motorcycle and there’s the Marienfelde truck, the RFC trailer and ... and... and... still waiting on my shelf. At the moment I am still busy with 1916/ early 1917 aircraft, that’s my main interest. But there are many late 1917/1918 planes waiting to be build and I will use your Tarnstoff decals for all of them. I am happy every time when I hear of any new release from Aviattic. If I should build an all red Fokker triplane one day (I never said I wouldn’t), I’d place your Richthofen figure next to it.

I am delighted that Richard and Aviattic are back on the forum and am impressed with their detailed range of products and exciting new items.

The Von Richthofen figure is a very welcome addition to the market and deserves to sell well.

Forum members are urged to support Aviattic as they provide us with unique decals and specialist aftermarket items that enhance our models.

So please support the businesses that support our Forum.

I just ordered 4 colour upper and lower decals and DVII photo eh.   I’ll be using Aviatik decals for the first time.


I never knew about the clear doped linen  decals. Lol so much has changed since I last built wwi in the early 2000’s.  Can someone explain what the benefit is. Is it the weave?
I’m curious and I do have a model I could use them on on my bench.


I also saw the Ballilia 😄

Combination of the colour & the very subtle weave pattern. It just LOOKS like linen, without being overdone. Once you've done one model using the CDL decals, you'll want to keep using them, as they add enormously to the finished model's look.

Really quite superb.

Richard, I just ordered a Dolphin cookie cutter set, uppers and lowers.  I think you know how much I love your linen decals.  I've used them on so many of my models.  Not on the Ninak, though.  Couldn't afford so many sheets.  God, that thing is big!
Cheers,
Bud

Figure pre-ordered and the Dolphin PC decals will be soon,

Has anyone ever tried the linen decals on 1/48? I'm worried they might look too overscale.

In my opinion, Mark, they do not look over scale, but judge for yourself.

if it's any help, i'm sure there're people like me out there quietly buying your stuff. so far most of it i've bought from US distributors because it's resin that you're sold out of (eindecker cowls!). i really really am delighted with your Frank Luke collaboration with Pheon, enough so that Rowan and Sabine are sending me your Voss collaboration.

I'm a bit behind the curve buying kits that will sell out from WNW and others, but once I catch up all the Germans will get lozenged by you, and I'll give your linen a go and see if i like it. your lozenges are spot on though.

i like what you're doing with the Richthofen figure, but i'm in that small minority not planning a lot of Richthofen projects.

if you prefer i will order directly where possible, as i hope you'll get more cash that way.
