Both are available from Shapeways and others . . .
Just sayin' . . .
So, if we were to smooth out the surface with various filler materials, the decals would only react better, yes...?
Patiently waiting but I'm running out of finger nails...Those looking for a much better deal would do well to wait a little longer on the AA pre-order announcement
Hopefully you are getting more mats in stock as I'm looking to get the Industrial complex and No mans land with my pre order...
What type of timeline are we looking at on the pre orders?
Series 3 should be released in June:

They look nice! I'm probably going to get the R.E.8 first. Either that or the UFAG.Series 3 should be released in June:

Just went to the ARES site and saw this. Posted it in the WGF. Forgot to check here before doing that. My apologies for that.
Any idea when the repaints will be offered in the AERODROME store ? I see they are for preorder somewhere else but would rather get them here.
I've been waiting on some custom colored acrylic to come in for one of the bonus items for this release. It showed up on Friday, so I now just need to photograph it and then I can setup the rules on the AA site and make them go live. I'm hoping to have all that done Sunday evening!
Ohboyohoboyohboy.
Good news.
I'm ready to invest for 6 - 7 planes.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
I want two of the D.IIIs and all of the RE8s... sigh it could be an expensive month - mind you god knows how long before any UK stockists have any of them available
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Is it the right colour for the blue maus by any chance ?! Look forward to placing an order

I want them all.
I'll have my usual "one of each", then go on from there.......................

Getting my order ready. The finger is on the order button.
I have one of those Muromets in Balsa. Seeing a few together makes me think how ugly they were. Too used to streamlined beauties these days.
Oh boy, another 12 planes to make room for!
Series 3 reprints are now up on the AA site for pre-orders. Make sure to read the Details for the special offers... supplies are limited!
Special Edition Light Gray and Dark Blue Prop Rulers
Aircraft Management Tokens
Ooooh, nice bling. Now I have to go order (not that I was going to skip anyway).
17 Aircraft ordered.
Really like the bonus counters.
17!
Ordered 2xUFAG, 2xD.III, 2xN17 and one B-firing Aviatik for a nice repaint.
Needed to hold off a little bit, because Ares Games announced some new SoG ships.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Those aircraft management counters are killer, Keith!
And the new planes don't look too bad, either...
I shall have to order soon, too!
All the best,
Matt
OOOF!!!!!!
Just placed my order.
More overtime required!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Where are the details of the special offer, please?
Oddly enough I feel somewhat underwhelmed by this lot for some reason - possibly a reaction to the BoB Spitfires-with-cannon-bulges and Hurribombers. I think I'll hold off for a while.
Did Ares say what scale these ones at going to be?17!

"Ugly"? The Ilya Muromets is "ugly"? You've never seen a Voisin, or Caudron G.4, or (god help us) a Siemens-Schuckert R.... :)
Actually Chris, I have the SS in a drawer somewhere. I only bring it out after dark.
Thank you, Sam.
If someone who buys the whole 12 can post an unboxing thread detailing the optional rule cards I will update the FAQ & PoI thread with the new releases.

My cart is subtracting the $7.50 for the tokens but not the rulers. Is there a special item somewhere for that?
It worked fine for me - perhaps PM Keith so he can look into it?

Once I receive the order from the Oberst, I'll get all the data updated, including the cards that accompany each aircraft, in the Current Contents file.If someone who buys the whole 12 can post an unboxing thread detailing the optional rule cards I will update the FAQ & PoI thread with the new releases.
Thanks Bob - Great job on that document by the way.

Dave.....thanks! It's been a labor of love for many years, and the least I can do to support this great game. It started for personal use over 10 years ago, and it seemed a natural addition once the Oberst was up and running with the Aerodrome. Over the years, I have had a lot of great edits from folks that review it, so it has had a huge editorial board
I just went to do a pre order and received a warning that this is a PHISHING site and not recommended to got to it. Never had this happen before when ordering here. Anyone else have this notice pop up ?
WOW finally let me in to place my order. Never had that happen before and have ordered many times before.
Yes all the time. I just click on 'further information' and bash on regardless.
Never happened to me.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Me neither!
I recommend & link it all the time for people seeking model info - it's one of my go to documents !Dave.....thanks!

No it looks too dark based on the photographs I've seen of the real aircraft. It's featured in a good picture in one of the Osprey books – I'm not sure which one but I can find the page reference if you want to know. I might airbrush mine a lighter blue. In the photograph it looks about the colour ARES have used on the Albatross C1 and the MVR Roland. However, I've seen that some modellers building and painting plastic kits finish Blue Maus with a colour that is about the same shade as this ARES model. Google DIII Blue Maus to see various interpretations. That written the image of the model in the box on Facebook looks so much better than the test shot on ARES web site.Is it the right colour for the blue maus by any chance ?! Look forward to placing an order
I'm interested to see a picture of the MVR DIII and to know what colour they have done it under the wings. Are these models using the original S3 tooling?
I want to decide which DIII(s) I will buy a pile of for stock to repaint. This is going to be an expensive release for me but I've not bought any models for ages so I don't mind. Four Nieuports, perhaps a couple of RE8s and lots of DIIIs.

The F-toys 1/144 scale model of the Blau Maus is a lighter blue but it may be the lighting on the photograph that makes the Ares one look darker.
Here is a picture of the F-toys model.

That looks way too light a blue to me.
In the Osprey book – Jagdstaffel 2 'Boelcke' there are two clear photographs of 'Blaue Maus'. In both pictures it appears to be very pale blue. The author's notes on this aircraft describe it as pale blue. I'd say the F-Toys interpretation of the photographs of the real aircraft is much closer than the Ares version, if perhaps a bit too pale. I repainted 'Voss' since they got the wing colours very wrong and I suspect I'll respray Blaue Maus to get closer to my interpretation of the photographic evidence. I think it'll look a more refined model in a lighter blue. A shame really when there are good photographs to work from and if it had been in a lighter blue it would have made a good model to use as a basis for repaints.
I'm not sure what we'll get with the MVR DIII. From their website it looks as if it has a dark brown body with red wings and tail. Again it's hard to fathom which aircraft this is based on. The F Toys rendition is close to one of the known MVR DIIIs with a red body and tail plus camo wings. In this scheme it is ideal to repaint into various known Jasta 11 schemes. It appears there was also an overall red one, possibly with light blue under the wings and tailplane.
True to form ARES have never really got their heads around the Albatross fighters which should be amongst the most 'candy' colourful models in any collection. Given how much reference is available to work from this is hard to understand. However, I remain very pleased they are doing the re-run.
I added all 12 planes, props and counters in blue to my cart but there is no discount for the accessories. Is the offer over?
No, the offer is still going and I just added all the items to my cart and it showed the discount. Did you by chance try to make this order before and not complete the process? The site will only allow you to get the discount once... I'm wondering if the site is confused about you already getting it.
Preorder placed for some of the minis. Ufags that I already own have not seen many actions so far, so do not see to increase their numbers
