I wonder what decal schemes they are going to have?
Interesting, I thought they'd decided to abandon this market...
I ordered 2 planes from them today! Fokker EIIIs!
Have fun building 'em!Quote:

They are nice kits! A lot of little bits.
Yeah, we will see how well an old, half blind guy can do with them! Thank goodness for magnifying glasses!Quote:

Progress...
I may buy some of those when they are released. I have tried and failed in the past to build these Valom kits. Is there a how to build guide somewhere? As they do look outstanding once they are completed. As I have seen Tim's builds in person and just wish that I had half of his skill and patience to build these fiddly kits.
I've made an how-to for the Valom SE5a:Quote:

I hope Vaclav took heed of my recommendation to simplify some parts (one part underwings, struts combined to rectangle shape with slots in the wings, engine always plastic and resin optional), to comply wargame customers.
Thanks, Florian!Quote:

Definitely check out Florian's "How To". It is the only reason I didn't immediately give away my Valom kits upon arrival and inspection.
Of course, I still haven't assembled any... but it gave me hope! :D
Ok, I like the paint schemes. I may have to get one of these.
Wanted to preorder two kits (unfortunately not possible). Václav told me the kit will be available between January-February.
Thanks for the update!Quote:

The gun can't be folded safely, if I remember correctly. I tried to fold it, it breaked and I clued the parts together.
Waiting with much anticipation!
Just ordered a few Pfalz from Václav. There are other stores which state a shipping date of March the 18th.
Hopefully they start to show up in the US before too long!!!
You can order directly from Valom. Václav has the best prices around. A double set (2 planes) for 9,50 € the duel sets (4 planes!) for 10,20 €.Quote:

I find it easier to use do the some of the paint schemes I want to do with a valom kit than an Ares repaint - i.e., for applying homemade decals.
FYI - the paint schemes are Carl Degelow (Jasta 7), Hans Georg van der Marwitz (Jasta 30), Hans Burhard von Buttlar (Jasta 18) and Hans Muller (Jasta 18 - Raben's Ravens). All excellent choices.

Looks there's be more than a couple I'll buy. Worth it for the decals alone.
Just ordered 4 boxes!
More Valomy goodness! :clap:
Good man!Quote:

Was thinking 2 boxes and then 3 boxes, but looked though my photo file of Pfalz and ordered 4 boxes. Scarcely seemed enough but must not buy them all.Quote:
