DUE TO VARIOUS POLITICAL WORLD EVENTS THE £ HAS SUFFERED AGAINST OTHER CURRENCIES FOR TWO YEARS NOW AND SHOWS NO SIGN OF RECOVERING. A NATIONAL SCANDAL FOR UK BUSINESSES OUR GOVERNMENT SEEMS OBLIVIOUS TO. EFFECTIVELY REDUCING THE 'REAL' VALUE OF STOCK AND ALL MATERIAL COSTS AND OUT-SOURCED SERVICES INCREASING SIGNIFICANTLY.
FOR THIS VERY TESTING TIME I HAVE RESISTED PUTTING PRICES UP TO RECOUP SOME OF THE REAL LOSSES AVIATTIC HAS ENDURED BUT, AS OF 1st JANUARY 2019, ALL PRICES SITE-WIDE, WILL INCREASE BY 20%.
THIS WILL BE THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT PRICE RISE IN FIVE YEARS, SO I BEG YOUR UNDERSTANDING IN THIS MATTER.
I MUST THANK ALL MY LOYAL CUSTOMERS AND ASK YOU TO PLEASE KEEP SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES - USE THEM OR LOSE THEM...

Aviattic and Luftkrieg 1919 return to the greatest model show on earth!
10th - 11th November 2018 at the
Telford International Centre
in the heart of beautiful Shropshire...
See you there!
1/32 Fokker DVII sets re-vamped and expanded to include fuselage and tail options!
For the last five years modellers have kindly used our fantastically popular wing set "lozenge" decals to great effect, but all those wonderful Jasta colour schemes that had "lozenge" covered fuselages have been largely ignored by modellers - until now!
With the able, patient help and dedication of Steve Cox at the computer I have re-designed the whole 1/32 DVII range.
Gone are the "Faded" and "Factory Fresh" options, now standardised in my personal favourite choice of hues.
Simplifying the choices and grouping wing, fuselage and tail sets for the modeller to choose the combination required between manufacturers (Fokker, Albatros and OAW) and four or five colour printed palettes, early streaked finishes or blue doped or plain linen options.
Interior "lozenge" patterns have been painstakingly designed to mirror the patterns of the exterior.
We have included reversed and faded weights tables, for that ultimate touch of realism, digitally printed instrument faces, distinctive "turned" Fokker wheel discs.
Each of the three main DVII manufacturer's had their own method of printed linen (Tarnstoff) application.
First discussed and recorded as a phenomenon by Dan san Abbott on the Aerodrome "discussions" of old, I have studied thousands of photographs to determine the most typical pattern layouts and continue to attempt to shed light on these practices.
As with all things WW1 aviation related, there is no such thing as a "rule" - every DVII's covering "footprint" was slightly different - even Aviattic's fastidious study and representations can only be considered "informed", and are in no way "definitive"!
Please explore the whole collection in the new 1/32 Fokker DVII drop down menu!
Luftkrieg 1919 arrives at the website!
The concept is a "What If?.." scenario, based on real and then imagined events and characters and has proved very popular.
"Luftkreg 1919' allows for a relaxation of the "rules" we normally adhere to with WW1 aviation modelling.
Finding inspiration in the personalities and technologies of the Great War but examining first the real-life Polish/Russian conflict that continued into the 1920's and re-telling an imagined continuation of this and the terrible civil war that raged on the streets of Germany in 1919.
What if history had been taken a different turn during this turbulent times? New heroes emerge and technologies advance in a very different post-Armistice world...
An exciting new range of sculpts in 1/16th and 1/32 scales offering a wealth of diorama and conversion possibilities!
LUFT3201 1/32 Captain Peter Strasser Zeppelin Commander
Rescued, badly burned, from the English Channel the legendary airship commander returns with a new, high altitude fleet of floating airfields. Strasser picks his crews of wounded and disabled veterans who embrace this opportunity to serve the Fatherland again and escape the gaze of the public at home, their loyalty to each other creating a formidable force that supports the exhausted Fliegertruppe in the ever-changing air war across the skies of Europe and beyond..
We all remember the dead from the Great War, Strasser and his crew is my tribute to the thousands of scarred and mutilated veterans who had, somehow, to return to civilian and family life with their injuries..and memories.

1/32 (54mm) Manfred von Richthofen tribute sculpt!
ATTL 06 Rittmeister Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen "The last patrol"
Sculpted by Nino Pizzichemi
1/32 scale
The Baron walks to his waiting triplane chatting and joking with his Staffel pilots.
He is using the "Geschwaderstock" a carved walking stick which on his death was handed down to Jasta 11's next commander, Hermann Göring.
Over his silk pyjamas he wore a full set of one-piece overalls with his favourite black leather, wool lined jacket over them.
Round-lensed goggles and a lined flying helmet, reindeer-skin boots over his laced footwear, a white silk scarf at his neck.
We know now that Richthofen was suffering from combat fatigue and the stress of command. His responsibilities weighed heavily on him. However, he maintained the trust, adoration and dedication of all those around him and it is that spirit I wanted to capture with this tribute sculpt.
Figure includes two heads, one with cap, one with flying helmet and two hand options. A beautiful "Geschwaderstock" in his right hand.
A postcard of an original Brian Knight painting of the Baron's red Fokker DR.I (from my collection) is offered strictly with the first 100 figures sold.

ATT32157 (Clear decal paper) Pfalz DXII 5 colour "lozenge" with upper tapes on both surfaces for Wingnut Wings kit
ATT32158 (Clear decal paper) "Le Bourget" Pfalz DXII 5 colour "lozenge" with lilac tapes for Wingnut Wings kit
The (presumably) restored machine displayed at Paris' le Bourget museum exhibits slightly different "lozenge" application practices and a darker palette of undersurfaces printed linen. Additional tapes in non-standard positions (top wing centre for example) and in "lilac" - a tape colour used but rarely modelled or discussed.
Sadly, no information about the 40 year old restoration of the Paris collection has been forthcoming and the origins of the Pfalz and Fokker DVII "Tarnstoff" lozenge fabric used on the Parisian exhibits are unknown...for now.
ATT32147 (Clear decal paper) 5 colour "lozenge" narrow joined bolt widths (upper surface)
German WW1 aircraft exhibit many different styles of "lozenge" application.
Seams were usually designed not to fall on a rib station - where stitching would be problematic - so we have observed that the 54" wide printed flax (linen) was trimmed and seamed to avoid this ...usually! This is WW1 aviation study,remember!
To achieve even more variation in your builds (the fabric joins are even visible in some top quality WW1 photos to give clues!) mix it up with this "narrow bolt" option with all the patterns running in same direction.

Includes suitcase which was tied to the wing struts as Rickenbacker toured around the States post war - and set a new world speed record!
Additional fuel tank "sump" and length of brass for connection rod and p/e additional louvres for the forward starboard cowling.
ATT72030 (clear decal paper) WW1 "streaked" camouflage for Fokker DR.I (x 3) and F.I (x1)
On clear decal for your choice of gloss background colour
Scaled down from our 1/32 set there are a couple of minor adjustments to be made to the Eduard kit.
The Eduard kit of the triplane has a couple of idiosyncrasies that you will need to correct for the decals to fit.
1) For added realism, remove ailerons and elevator from wings and tailplane. This will allow the decals to "fold under" into the recesses as intended. Otherwise, these slivers of decal will need to be removed. Then re-attach them set at realistic angles.
2) The Eduard horizontal stabiliser is fractionally oversized - as are the elevators. Cut decals to size and offer up (dry) before applying to determine how much plastic to remove.
3) Remove moulded breather pipes from both sides of fuselage and re-instate after decalling.
4) Remove moulded aileron and elevator horns, then decal and reinstate afterwards with p/e alternatives or scrap
5) Trimming of the wing caps (ends) may be necessary, after they have dried and conformed with chosen solutions, with a very sharp blade. You may wish to cut the decals at the curved extremes to help conform (before wetting) - but try stretching and teasing with a thumb and forefinger when they are on the model!
6) Eduard sem to have based the 1/72 on a different set of plans from the 1/48 version so ailerons may also need to be recut and altered - use "spare" streaked section supplied.
ATT48044 (clear decal paper) 1/48 WW1 "streaked" camouflage for Fokker DR.I and F.I
Contains one full set with interior details for one DR.I and one F.I
On clear decal for your choice of gloss background colour. I recommend
Scaled down from our 1/32 set there are a couple of minor adjustments to be made to the Eduard/Revell kit. Cut decals to shape and offer up to kit parts to judge what needs adapting.
Also, it is recommended you slice off the fuselage breather pipes and re-apply after decal application.
ATT32143 and ATT32145 Fokker DR.I upper and lower surfaces set (+ interior)
ATT32143 (Clear decal paper) WW1 'streaked" camouflage Fokker DR.I (+ interior)
Heavier application of the mid-green streaking than the initial three F.I prototypes, with the underneath blue dope carried onto lower longeron edge and horizontal stabiliser, presumably to "tidy up" the brushed dope build-up along these edges.
Interior features unbleached linen and ply fairing detail, instruments (spares of each), linen baffle and cover for the accurate Aviattic "Fokker seat".
ATT32144 (Clear decal paper) WW1 'streaked" camouflage Fokker DR.I on unbleached linen (+ interior)
Heavier application of the mid-green streaking than the initial three F.I prototypes, with the underneath blue dope carried onto lower longeron edge and horizontal stabiliser, presumably to "tidy up" the brushed dope build-up along these edges.
Interior features unbleached linen and ply fairing detail, instruments (spares of each), linen baffle and cover for the accurate Aviattic "Fokker seat".
ATT32145 (Clear decal paper) WW1 German pale blue doped linen Fokker DR.I (lower surface)
The linseed content in the dope varnish, sparingly applied (typical of the "economical" Fokker factory practices) meant that the finish yellowed with age, turning the blue "turquoise" with time.
Whether this occurred during the aircraft's short service life is open to doubt and I believe many historians study of aged and yellowed artefacts has led to the misinterpretation of this colour..
Includes optional undercarriage wing linen covering - or was it just blue-doped ply, which would have given a different effect and colouring than on the flying surfaces...
ATT32146 (Clear decal paper) WW1 German pale blue doped linen Fokker F.I (lower surface)
Tailored to fit the Roden kit.
Samples show an odd mix of both this pale lavender blue, appearing to be a dyed linen, as well as the rather heavier, pigmented dope, sometimes on the same fabric remnant!
Definitive statements regarding this finish cannot be made...

The Eduard/Revell kit of the Albatros has a couple of idiosyncrasies that you will need to correct for the decals to fit.
1) Top wing cut out may require rib tape added (included with set - cut into strips)
2) For added realism, remove ailerons and elevator from wings and tailplane. This will allow the decals to "fold under" into the recesses as intended. Otherwise, these slivers of decal will need to be removed before wetting and application
3) No aileron horn shroud detail is present on the Eduard/Revell kit - decals indicate where these should be added form P/E or scrap plastic
4) Measure and cut radiator space accurately. Kit part is over-sized and alternatively could be replaced, top and bottom, with elements from Eduards dedicated p/e set
5) White-backed decal stock is included for modeller to add underside wing leading edge rib tape and any other additionsTop wing cut out may require rib tape added (included with set, for modeller to cut into strips)
ATT48040 Albatros DVa 5 colour "lozenge" for flying surfaces (blue and pink tapes)
As a result a couple of small tweaks are necessary.
1) If not cutting ailerons and elevator from the kit for more realistic positioning you'll need to remove the decal rib tapes along the hinge edges.
2) the leading edge rib tape on undersurface of bottom wings needs to be added from the rib tape decal (white backed) providers
3) radiator cutouts need to be enlarged towards trailing edge and "fold down" tapes on sides removed
4) Add tapes where required sliced from supplied "white backed" material

I have wanted to mark the loss of this gallant young man in this, the centenary of his death. Celebrate is not the word.
We must always wonder how our world could have been different if he and so many other fine souls lost in that "war to end all wars" had not been so cruelly taken.
