Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2014 9:00 am
Wings of the Great War is the company.....not sure if it's some company we know of releaseing the line or somebody new, but they have a line of nice looking WWI planes coming later this year. A bit pricey at $35 a pop but i hope the quality justifies the price.

i know of 4 models so far: spad xiii, pfalz d.iii, nieuport 28 and fokker triplane. Some places it says they are metal others resin.....so dunno.
the blurb:
"We are thrilled to announce the new release of "Wings of The Great War," an epic series of 1/72-scale model aircraft from World War I. Each example in this highly collectible, limited-edition series is a handsome and historically accurate model that is hand crafted and hand painted.
This exciting series will be issued over the next four years beginning with this first release. With the variety of aircraft in a kaleidoscope of colors and paint schemes that have never been seen before, Wings of The Great War will be sure to dazzle every collector and history buff! And, with many of these aircraft limited to as few as 500 pieces, the only way for your customers to be sure to have them all is to start collecting now.
Of special note: Collectors will love our new�exclusive�display stand that is custom designed for this series. This display stand features an articulating mounting system for each aircraft. This variable-position system allows enthusiasts to seamlessly pivot the model on its stand in virtually any direction or angle to create air-to-air scenes and even air-to-ground battle scenes. Featuring fine textures and details, including pilot figures, this premium-quality, hand-cast resin collector series is sure to please everyone and at a cost that won�t break the bank!"
