 Still, I got two of the Sprue Bros. Camels, and can see maybe a third.

Maybe its me, but actually there are some quite interesting and colorful Camels going on here - especially in the USAS boxing....

I like it! ;D

But, contrary to previous statements :-[, I am weakening and might get a Ship's Camel in the meantime.

Perhaps a Morane BB is on the cards as well? There is a replica in the Omaka museum (as is a Taube).
Cheers

Yes, that's definitely one of the 'biggies' still waiting in the wings, isn't it? It has to have been on that famous list WNW initially drew up. I would expect when the DH.4 arrives, it'll be quite a family of boxings. But I also expect it's at least a couple of years away, because - on the basis of no solid information possessed by me at all :) - we're going to see some B.E.2s first.

What "famous list WNW initially drew up", Mark? Never heard about such a list, before! A DH.4 is high on my wishlist, too!!

I think the reference is from one of the initial "blurbs" from Richard A. about Wingnuts having over 50 items in mind when they started. Obviously this was merely a tease as the kit numbers  currently stand at 76 with 21 numbers still to be filled.  Since WNW is not given to spilling the beans about anything in advance or in great detail until the products are nearly ready for selling or  come as a complete surprise, we will just have to wait to see what that might have meant.

They are all different - even airframes from the same manufacturer. Fun fun fun!

Right! -- in a sense "Taube" almost denotes a style of airplane, versus an exact pattern. Almost.

Which is one reason why I figured WNW wouldn't touch it with a 25-foot pole. In fact I had started tentatively working on a 1/32 Taube last year for Flugzeugwerke. (just starting collecting research, really.) Glad I didn't sink any more time into that!

It'll be really interesting to see how much variation WNW has kitted...

Found some pictures of the interned Albatros Taube and indeed I don't think that's going to work... just look at the tank on the engine, shape of the nose panels, style f exhaust, and undercarriage for example.
If I get one (for my birthday) and WNW does not provide at least some suitable parts, I'll probably build it as-is. I'm not afraid to modify a kit a bit, but this above my skill level ;)

A bit of a shame, just look at those odd underwing crosses and it was flown by Hans Hesse ("Der Vogelmann") who escaped Internment twice -once to the displeasment of the Emperor so he was sent back...
