Many thanks to Paul at The Model Cellar for letting us know that Merit International are developing a range of 1:24 WWI aircraft. Two subjects have been announced so far - the Fokker Dr.1 and S.E.5a.
The new kits look very promising, offering enormous scope for superdetailers at a very reasonable price.

Item# MIL-62403 - Fokker Dr.1 is available now. The UK price is around £50.
Item# MIL-62402 - S.E.5A is due for imminent release.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE.

Frankly speaking the plastic parts do not look too promising, do they? http://earlyaero.com/merit-international-to-release-124-fokker-dr-1-in-november/ Mikko

Any info on whether aftermarket companies are working on upgrades for this? Mainly source for 1/24 seatbelts and improved Spandau machineguns?

Hi Ivan All I've heard of so far is The Model Cellar's accompanying figures. Manfred von Richthofen is the first: Paul's first-hand appraisal of the Fokker was "it's pretty cool... pretty cool to have a kit of it THAT size!". The kits are certainly coming in at a very attractive price in the UK that'll mean it won't break the bank to add whatever aftermarket extras are available. All the best Rowan
