> I'm sorry to sound like a grumpy old man, but once again it looks like Roden has ignored 1/72nd scale which must have been thier bread and butter in the early days (Toko and Roden). 

I'm sure it's just an oversight on their part. Probably so many new releases in the manly scale that it's taking this long to write them up. Yeah, that's it... ¦¬(
 
Also have you noticed the insane price increase in the UK. The New 1/32nd Spad is £60 and the engines are £20 a piece. I guess alot of its to do with the strength of the pound vs the dollar but I guess alot of UK modellers are going to question whether they really need a 1/32 scale Spad to line their loft, especially when you know that the decals are probably going to need to be replaced.

I think it's more likely the weak pound compared to the Euro since these are produced in Eastern Europe. I wouldn't mind the SPAD or the recently announced DH2 when it comes out but I'll wait and see if they go on sale rather than pay that much. Bear in mind too that if you're looking at Hannants' prices then they are often a lot more expensive than other suppliers.
