RHWinter Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Nice, but I'll probably wait for a Cl.IIIa... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 And we were all expecting the 0/400 to be the next release!! Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not so many differences, it's got a little smaller, narrower fuselage and a bit shorter wingspan, as far as I know. But that's not why I am „waiting“ for a Cl.IIIa. I like the late-war colour-schemes, that is why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbjorn Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 The Cl.II was flying until the Armistice, so there should be some late-war paintjobs available? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Paw Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 This is a good release as I missed it first time around. I have always liked the Hannover since I made the 1/72 Airfix kit back in medieval times. The lozenge camouflage confused me and so I made up my own colours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the Airfix Roland that I painted bright blue because I didn't know how to mix the paints to make it lighter (I was only 7!).

Duncan B I made the Roland too, I used a very light blue Matt humbrol enamel that had gone thick in the tin. I applied the paint with the paint brush only to get what can only be described as a rough plaster finish. I might not do that on my Wingnuts version 😏 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just left it in the pale blue plastic finish! It was fine if you weren't bothered about joint lines. I do remember it had the best pilot an observer figures I'd ever seen - remember the usual distorted aliens you used to get with older kits like the RE8 and Camel? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes I remember the crew, one standing and one sitting if I remember correctly? Very realistic and as good as the HP 0/400 crew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Paw Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I have made the Airfix 1/72 HP 0/400 this year and it is a good kit. I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the "a" in CLIIIa indicated that it had the Argus engine, rather than the Mercedes of earlier models. Others will no doubt know more.

hacker Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 here is a question what version was the Airfix kit? Hacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 It is a Cl.IIIa, which can be easily converted into Cl.III and also into Cl.II with a little effort. An old, but very neat little kit. Cheers Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicPlastic Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I just saw the announcement on the website of Wingnut. Very happy with this as i too missed their earlier "late" version and they are now so expensive if/when they are offered for sale on Ebay! This one is definately going on my list.
