Nouveautés Copper state models 1/32 Nieuport 21 et Nieuport 23

Russian RB Armoured Car
The most successful of the early Russian armoured vehicles was the Russo-Balt line of armoured vehicles. Most of them mounted machine guns, but a few mounted cannon.
The first and most popular car produced by Russian-Balt was the Type C – the heir to the Belgian Fondu 24/30hp. The Russo-Balt C was repeatedly modernized, with increases in power, upgraded frame and springs, and improvements to radiators, gearboxes and other components. By 1914, the vehicles being produced were the Russo-Balt Type C 24/40hp 18 Series, where the two-part model number denotes the nominal engine power and the maximum engine power. The 4.5-litre four-cylinder engine could propel passenger versions of the vehicle to 75-80 km/h.
With the outbreak of war, seven chassis were sent to St. Petersburg to the Izhora Factory, which served as the basis for a proposed fleet of Russian armoured cars.
Each vehicle was equipped with three 7.62-mm Maxim machine guns in a triangle arrangement that allowed them to fire on potential targets with at least two guns at a time. Two guns were fixed in the hull sides, and the third gun, mounted in the rear, could be switched from side to side as well as deployed against aerial targets through an opening in the hull roof.
One of the remarkable engagements for the Russo-Balt armoured cars occurred on Feb. 3, 1915, when four of the cars moved forward along the Belskoe Highway toward the village of Tsiulkuvla and encountered three battalions of enemy infantry. With their own infantry support more than 10 kilometres behind them, armoured cars of the second and third platoons nevertheless opened fire on the enemy, immediately causing confusion and panic among their ranks. Targeted by German artillery, one Russian gunner was killed, and three of the armoured cars were immobilized, but the enemy infantry retreated.
The First Auto-Machine Gun Company was in continual active service from 1914 until September 1916, when it was reorganized into the First Armored Division in the 42nd Army Corps. It served in Finland until 1917 and was sent to the Northern Front near Dvinsk shortly before the Russian Revolution.
Russo-Balt armoured cars were involved in the civil war in Russia, and in 1921, one Russo-Balt served at the Tank Training Brigade School, and another served with the Red Army until 1923.

Entretien avec DaveW et Edgar sur le statut des Nieuports, CSM ...

"Following concerns that the Copper State Nieuports had sold out, I contacted Edgar at Copper State Models who has provided Forum members with an update on their status, and also offered a useful insight into some of the problems smaller model companies face in these Covid times.
The good news is the Copper State Nieuports will be back in stock hopefully in the first half of 2022.
WW1 aircraft are very niche and in terms of profit sell to a finite market and Edgar says on this basis they do not order a huge run of frames from the pressing plants in China. "It`s money to spend on storage, shipping, production. Usually, we are planning our stock to last around 2 years, then we can look at how it is going and decide what to do next.
"Currently, there is a shortage of Nieuports, but sadly, we cannot order 10 sets, you have to take a large batch of plastic, and the shipping rates these days are very high, due to the fuel prices, Covid, etc. The Nieuports should be back into our inventory hopefully in the first half of 2022, the same goes for Romfel.
"The Italian Lancia (35005) should return in January / February, just need to order decals and instructions, as we have the plastic due to a release of 35008 (German Pz.Sp.Wg. 1ZM (i))"
Offering an insight into the company's operations he says they would like to do more 1/32 aircraft but these cost about twice as much as armoured cars, plus the armoured cars sell much better.
CSM is always looking for new markets for WWI kits to attract more modellers.
Copper State launched 1/72 scale armoured cars but sales have not yet rewarded their investment. He says the same applies to the 1/48th scale aircraft, which is why Copper State is increasingly focused on 1/32 and 1/35 scale subjects now.
"They are the real money-generators for us, the market is bigger, and many aircraft modellers have moved from smaller scales into 1/32."
Copper State has a 1/32 Caudron G.III kit due for release in December and more large scale aircraft in development along with more of their acclaimed armoured car range.
