Blimey, Wingnuts kits are like buses...

So what's different about this boxing? Do we know?

That's an 'F' (Jasta 18 / Berthold). The original 'F' boxing had parts for Goering's white 'F' in it, so maybe this is just a re-release with different decals similar to the way the re-released the Albatros DVa in 'OAW' guise.

I think it's not an F but rather an early Fokker-built... streaking, full top cowl...

[uncletony]

Can o' worms open!

His 'F' was an early with streaking (or so say some...)

really! (?)

anyway, box says Fokker D.VII(Fok) Early

maybe includes BMW & Merc sprues?

I spy a two-seater taube (proto?) type below the D.VII... and just saw the Nuremburg post about it

[jamieg]

Lots of decals means it will be in higher single seater price range - $99 USD?

 They had sold out of this type of Fokker when I tried so maybe this will be a second chance.

[uncletony]

Revised lozenge decals?

hard to tell -- they look that way though.

Now this one has my attention!  I will have to get one.

That's interesting - they've gone the 'it wasn't an F' route. I foresee many internet 'discussions' ahead 

So I've been digging through the refs I can find -- from everything I have on hand, this aircraft is known from a single (well known) photo; everything about it seems to suggest it was a plain-jane early mercedes-powered aircraft. I can't find any suggestion that it might be BMW powered -- only that Berthold may have flown an "F" later. What am I missing?

Hi Bo, cannot add to your discussion, but WNW has the engine sprue to make this one into an F if you had a mind to do so.  Plenty of decal options out there too for the F also.

With the exception of the W.29, all sold out WNW kits took over two years to reach that position.

I'd say the lesson here is if you want it, buy it. It's not going to depreciate. Another D.VII instead of a Camel? I think so.
