Hello Gerry:

Welcome to the Forum.  The DVIII wing looks promising.  I am sure there are many here who would be interested in something like that. 

Take care

Apologies for missing you the first time around. Welcome to the forum, Gerry. What you're doing certainly counts as modelling. Why don't you go ahead and start a build thread?

Welcome, and as I have said elsewhere that DVIII wing is AWESOME!

Here is some more progress pics.

Also started work on a Fokker Dr.I, seat first.

I've set up a new Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/mossie3dcad/# so to better show off the work I'm doing, not all is WW1 aircraft related.

I'm also all set up for the two day visit to Telford. Looking forward to meeting my customers as well as any interested people. Might even pick up a few models as well. Could be an expensive weekend.
I'll be wandering around so stop me and chat.

Hi Gerry! Welcome to the forum! It sounds like you have a very useful set of skills combined with great knowledge! I do like the DVIII and your wing looks very, very interesting... Please keep us informed of progress and availability! Regards, Marc

Hi Gerry, I have built the Avis DVIII fuselage but kinda stopped when I got to the wing as I was unhappy with my efforts to improve it, so would be very much up for your product by the look of things.

However I had a bit of a job tracking the Avis kit down on eBay and I think its the only game in town in 1/32 apart from an ancient vacform so I would have thought the market for your wing would have been vanishingly small?
Unless of course you know of an upcoming reissue, or something else in the pipeline?
Whatever, I hope you proceed.
Cheers
Sandy

I'm not aware of anyone doing a full 1/32 D.VIII kit at the moment. The wing was started as a project, but it got shelved. I'll be speaking to the project initiator soon to see if he is thinking of restarting it. Who knows when WNW will do the D.VIII, even though they have two example to use as a basis from TVAL.

Hi Gerry, not sure if that means you are/were unaware of the Avis offering.
If you click on the logo at the top of the page, it will take you to Des`s main website where you will find his excellent build log of the Avis 1/32 Fokker D.VIII - which gives full info on this model.
I personally think the likelihood of this subject from WNW, while welcome, extremely unlikely.
