Aeroclub laid out almost a doz wunnerful kits in '48 a few years back.
Nothing much since. Anyone know anything? Related: When is Mr. Gannon going to stop showing off that Roland and show us progress on the next one?

John Adams has done more for for this hobby than anyone else I can think of, but Aeroclub do have an unfortunate habit of announcing subjects years in advance. Back in nineteen ought 96/7, when I was producing resin kits, I spoke to John Adams at the Nationals about future releases, the DH5 was on his list then. In fairness they are not alone in this and I suppose it must be the industry's way of hopefuly preventing duplication, the short run manufacturer's worst nightmare. Not long ago there were a couple of occasions when BM and Eduard had virtually simultanious releases of near identical subjects, not good for either of them and not good for any of us.

PeterL;
I didn't realize that the DH5 had been on Aeroclub's list for so long - I remember seeing it as I was browsing thriough their web-site. I can see your point of manufacturers announcing kits long in advance so has to preclude duplication - but 7 years - ouch!!!! It seems that Blue -Max is the only manufacturer to keep to deadlines. |

I think Roden does a fair job in '48, at least.
Spirit if not letter of the law. Reasons cited, when not. that'll work... SE5a's!
