Tom I've built one of the Roden 1/72 scale kits and it was great. Lots of detail but the fit of some parts was a bit fussy. Overall I would definitley try another one of their kits. They are defintely not shake and bake but hey... if you want fringe you have to pay the price. Big Smile [:D]

Karl - I was checking out their He111-B Pedro... I might step on down to the (NS)LHS and see if they have it in and take a gander at the pieces... I would hate to get something on the lines of that Pegasus Fairey Fulmar I was going to build for last years BoB Gb...

has anyone built anything by Roden? I seem to remember a little negativity on the mfgr but wanted to be sure...

Tom, the later releases from Roden, particularly the WW1 A/C like the SE5a, Sopwith Camel, Felixstowe flying boat, are well up to par. Equal to Eduard's latest releases, why what did you have in mind?

Revell's re-release of the old , but good, Esci Hs 123 is tempting, particularly in the early Luftwaffe splinter camo.

Karl, I didn't know Hasegawa did one either, I really like the He51 as one of my favourite 1930's biplanes and I knew it was used in the Spanish civl war. So I looked up Heinkel He51 on Greatmodels and up popped the Hasegawa 1:72 kit, with the Spanish civil war marking in the box! I didin't order it as once I saw the pic of the box I remembered I had seen it at an LHS around here.

Dave, duly added as a probable. I purposely spread the dates over a 6 month period to allow plenty of time to participate.

Domi, glad to have you aboard. Nice choice by the way.

Looking at many of the aircraft involved the war 1/72 looks like the scale to go for, particularly for the rarer types.

Welcome aboard guys, and thanks for signing up.

Jay, nice choice, didn't even know Hasa did the He 51.

Scott, I built the Academy I-16 a while back, great little kit.

Rick, the CA 109A sounds like a winner.

I put the dates out a bit, as I know everyone is socked in with GBs at the moment.

Names are now on the front, and currently only, page. Big Smile [:D]

It's a ways off, but I think I can fit it in. I'll do the Classic Air Frames 1/48 Bf -109A.
