It's a scandal!
Look:

"Boulton Paul Defiant
Curtiss A-12 Shrike
De Havilland Hornet
Douglas B-23 Dragon
Douglas F-3D
Handley Page Hampden
Heinkel He 277
Martin Maryland
Supermarine Scimitar
Westland Wyvern"

Nothing OT!!!!
Everyone MUST write them!!!!

http://www.mpm.cz/wish.asp

BTW, not being asked, they promised SPAD VII, Lloyd C.V and Sopwith
Schneider in 1/48 soon. So what they can do if we ask them? But, please,
also some in 1/72!!!!
(MPM is the same company as Special Hobby and Azur)
Cheers!

I sent my complaint is. All of you reading this join our ranks tell them that they can't ignore us. If we don't voice our opinions they won't know.

sent mine:

Sopwith Snipe
SE5/5a
FE 8
Avro 504
Fokker DVII
Bleriot Monoplane
Gloster Grebe
Bucker 131
Curtiss Shrike


I know a couple of them are supposedly already available, but not easily and not at MPM prices. A couple more have been "in preparation" for three or four years! Just how long are we supposed to wait?And *shouldn't we be getting our heads to-gether to make sure we each include one or two the same on each of our lists?

...1/48 RE 8
Hello Scimitar!

Blue Max already have a very good Spad VII and Aeroclub have also a very good RE 8, both in 1/48 scale! *I have both ones and I believe that we could see better kits of those birds only if Eduard decide to do that...
Why Eduard did not make kits for Spad XIII, Fokker Dr.I and Fokker D.VII? *Would it be just because DML already made those?
I hate the habit of DML to do as photo-etch parts that would have to be done in plastic...

Are those kits always available? Just checked at Hannants, UK but didn't found them in the Blue Max and Aeroclub lists...

Same question for me, fcm. But Colin Adair announced that a 1/48 Spad VII by Eduard was really possible. Just hope that...

Yes, me too! Photo-etch parts are a great deal for some pieces, but not for, as an example, the haubans of their Fokker VIII.

Scimitar, how can I make contact with Colin Adair? Many years ago, whem I just started my job of FCM Decals (something as six years ago), Mr. Colin went to Rio de Janeiro - Brasil, to visit a modellers convention, when I met with him... Once I am starting a decal series for WW1 biplanes, I believe that it would be interesting a closer contact....

Fcm,

Colin Adair visits sometimes this forum, under the nickname "Eduard". But you can contact him directly at Eduard:
colin.adair@eduard.cz
