europapete Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 The new 1/32 wire wheels arrived today for my Caudron, Albatros B2 and Taube. Well Done CSM! The photo's posted online do not do these parts justice, the spokes are increadably fine. A major improvement for the kits.

RHWinter Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Hi, europapete: Which spoked wheels are good for the Taube, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 Hiya, the A32-006 810x125 wheels. If you go onto CSM's site, 1/32 accessories, scroll down to the wheels, then click on the picture of the wheel, scroll down a bit, and there is a list of what that wheel fits, and a bit lower, which WNW kits are suitable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzemeister Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 They are indeed great! I have all there newer 1/48 kits, and hope they can get around to doing their beautiful Caudron GIII in 1/48 too (would go well with the GIV yaknow!)

Harold55 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 They are great! Built their Caudron G.IV and it was fantastic. I agree, would love to see the G.III scaled down to 1/48. A good friend of mine has gotten hopelessly hooked on their 1/35 WWI armoured cars. Loves them and he always wins awards with them at model shows. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SprueMan Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I second the (third?) the motion for a Caudron GIII in 1/48 Though I will have nightmares about the rigging, it is very interesting plane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratecruncher Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I love Caudrons and 1/48 so add me to that list. The Copper State GIV in 1/48 is such an impressive airplane kit. The photoetch heat shielding, boom connections and hardware is even beyond WNW stuff in my view. The rigging diagrams are excellent. No easy feat with a string bag like the GIV! I would love to also have a 1/48 GIII to display next to mine. But market forces appear to be pushing everything toward bigger scales (and higher prices). Meng is testing the waters with 1/24 likely based on the success of all the WWII stuff that seems to be selling well. The smaller size of the average WWI scout makes it ideal for scaling up. But these planes weren't that complicated. Bigger scales than 1/48 seem unnecessary to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bughunter Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I'm building the CSM F.K.8 and that is one of the the best kit I ever had. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invidia Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Agree with all the above, building the cauldron G111 at the moment, what a lovely kit and the Bristol scout has just arrived. Fantastic kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-FAAWAFU Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Agreed; my Bristol Scout has just turned up, and it looks excellent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
