Their first foray in this scale I think. What an interesting subject!

Some interesting photos here:

Not the most popular machine........

Interesting machine and the kit is welcome. Not a good sign when pilots refuse to fly an aircraft. Planet previosly kitted some 1/32 Buckers; 131, 133, & 181.

I was wondering when the "Resin Folks" were going to open their eyes
and start in with 1/32nd scale. Maybe Battleaxe has left them a little leery?

Jim, there are already a few very interesting resin kits in 1/32 scale.  In addition to the Ponnier, Planet also has a Floh and a PV7.

Also, Omega has a Hansa Brandenburg W.20 and a Mosca MB in 1/32 scale.

Some esoteric and pricey stuff, to say the least, but all would make nice additions to any 1/32 scale collection. 
Cheers,

Bud,
      I think I've seen those and my reaction at the time was that they were way too exspensive
for what was included. I will agree, though, that they are interesting subjects.

That W20 is fantastic.

I've got to get one!

I just can't understand peoples fascination with the Floh. UUUUUUUUHHHHHGLYEEEEEEE! Oh, well, guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Has anybody made the Omega 1/32 W.20 Flying Boat?

It looks fascinating & I'm very sorely tempted to trade a couple of my WNW kits for one.....

I'm also very interested in the Hansa Brandenburg W.20 flying boat, has anyone built one or know of a link to a build, it is an expensive kit but if the quality is okay it will be well worth the expense.

I will "third" the interest in the the W20 but $151C plus shipping is a bit steep....as I look at my Marsh Models MC72 and S6B......and many,many other kits I wont build....

Here is a build log - in Czech, but Google Chrome will translate for you:

Builds up into a lovely little model & it's a pretty unique looking subject.

I'm tempted, but £94 is a lot of money for a little resin model kit that needs a lot more work than your average WNW kit.

I was wondering the same thing and I found this build on a Czech forum (don't worry, it's in English)
