Certainly a Teaser! Perhaps pertaining to that Obereusel URII on the Lehrone Sprue  8)

    Yup, it might just be related to a German Monoplane Fighter with a UR.II power plant...........  after all, our hard fought Mikr Mir ones are all but done! :-\ ??? :o

Oberusal?  Did anyone notice that the box top had a red background?

Although I can't afford one any time soon, a WNW Razor would be a brilliant and welcome addition to the line!

Also: it's Oberursel  ;)

And as is usual in this circular discussion... No Tripes or Razors because other folk already make them

Apparently I've had my fingers crossed longer than I thought!! The bench is downstairs somewhere-although I keep gathering the various trappings of the hobby....

Even if people built fantastic Camels out of the Academy/Hobby Craft kit: There are miles regarding quality between that kit and the Roden Triplane.

Hmmm true the Academy/Hobbycraft(first attempt) is very bad but when HC redid it the Camel was okay. It wasnt quite as good as the Roden DRI but close IMHO.

If the mysterious red WNW box brought us a Halberstadt Cl. IN, I would not complain.

Me neither, just to the contrary. I think I'd open a bottle of champaign... :)

Yeah I would be one of those wishing for the Halb CII (or about six other subjects that have never been done in 1/32 before....)

Why forget about early albatros just because wnw haven't kitted them. The roden kits are very buildable and turn out nicely. I have built one and will build more whether wnw does one or not. With so many fighters never ever kitted I will keep hoping for something else something cool something different. I will never understand why some guys will only build a biplane if its wnw. Maybe they are wnw fans not necessarily ww1 aircraft fans? Idk?



For me personally it's about quality not quantity.  I am a fan of WWI and a bigger fan of WNW.  I just don't like building crummy kits....Honestly the Roden kits are amongst the lousiest kits out there.  If I was rating kit makers I can't think of many that are worse than roden.  Off the top of my head Tamiya, Meng, Dragon, Revell of Germany, Hasegawa, Fujimi, Aoshima, Miniart, Takom, Trumpeter, Amusing hobby, Panda Hobby, Rye field Model, Fine molds, and WNW are all far superior to Roden.   For me I just hate spending my hard earned money or something that is sub par.  Go compare the WNW top wing from their Albatros DV kit to the Roden top wing of their Albatros  D III.  It's no  comparison, the detail on Roden is trash.  Why would I continue building trash?....it's not about liking or disliking WWI subjects I just don't want to spend my valuable time on lousy models....but that's just how I roll....

Geez, I think that perhaps you not too fond of Roden kits but then, what if WNW did not exist...  OOPS this thread is about WNW speculation, so back to the matter in hand--

still waiting for a 1/32 Dolphin !!!  .
