...on what you build.

The 1/48 scale MiG-23 project has been canceled.

New items instead include a 1/32 scale Fokker Dr. I for release in November and large Great War bomber in 1/72 scale next year.

So that's one time-consuming decal project I can cross off my 'to do' list!

I would say that we are going to get a Staaken Giant next year.

I got excited last year when Hobbycraft Announced their Dr1 in 1/32nd. Until this is confirmed by the manufacturer I will remain Restrained! However if True

I know Roden Will carry through if they announce the Kit!

Could we get Roden to redo the moulds and make it 1/32? Truly it should be bigger than the Monogram B-36.

This hobby is truely begging /dying for the lack of larger (1/32 scale) subjects in my humble opinion. Being a stabke fan of the size scale since chilhood. Still I believe this to be true. If only a third the selection were available in larger scale thats available in this line in the smaller scales I think the sales would be phomenomial. I have the hobbycraft kit on preorder already at Greatmodels. I'd gladly cancle it for a Roden tomarrow if it were listed. November's the month after next? The way the Hi-tech Alb has been pre-sold would think we'd have already been able to order this one from Roden. Is that Nov NEXT year its coming?

Mr Freak,

I'm sorry to say that the only images I have are in Albatross Fighters which is a Windsock publication. I don't think they would be toooo happy if I post images from their mag on here. Sorry!!

Mr. buckles,

Thank you. I will look for the Windsock Data file for Albatros.

I love the 1/28 and 1/32 scale. I got the room on my shelf!

Don't cancel! If they both eventually show up, do a tandem build and compare! If we purchase both perhaps other offerings will follow from both companies! I still remain dubious but hopeful

I just visited the Other WW1 list. matt Bittner posted a reply straight from Roden! It is official!! 1/32nd Dr1 planned for Nov. 2004. Staaken Giant in 1/72nd planned for Jan. 2005! Holy S...
