Russell, it's the BE.2 that I keep banging the drum for, I have no interest what so ever in a Camel or a DR.1 which are both very ho-hum in my eyes.

I'd buy a couple of BE.2's. WNW could make many boxings to reflect the various marks, not to mention the BE.12. All disastrously bad warplanes, but would make great kits.

I just realized that although it is 10:31 AM April 22nd here in the US, it is 12:31 AM in NZ on the 23rd. So I guess it is only a matter of hours until we know the latest

I've been checking all morning, Rick, my excitement hardly shows at all!

This morning I told Carol about all the anticipation and that today might be the day. She mentally rolled her eyes.

Bud,
Funny, all I get is the standard "That's nice Dear"!? I suspect the Stash already in place is part of the noticeable excitement on their parts.

I'd be surprised if WNW updated their website before Tuesday, given Monday is a public holiday in both AU and NZ. Think the earliest news you will get will be when Jamo reports in on the forum

Here is my best guess:

Sopwith F.1 Camel ; delayed due to tooling issues

....no other information..........

I called it!

Just saw James Faheys' post on FB. No New releases but photos of the Camel in progress. You were certainly close

Close? I'd say James nailed it.

Oh well, there`s always the Lottery Draw this evening, probably better odds at this rate...................

Although the man child in me is very sad "The boy Christmas forgot" I have to say I'm now eyeing up other kits on the site that I would like in my collection and lets face it every kit bought is more incentive for the team at WnW to invest in new kits.

GrahamB · « **Reply #1873 on:** April 23, 2016, 12:05:02 PM »

A little disappointing with no new releases on show but the Camel looks very, very nice.

Speaking to Dave, it is a Clerget version at first ('early' and 'late') with alternative u/c, interrupter gear, control horns etc. My knowledge of the Camel is minuscule though, but I'm really taken with this now. Release date is still under wraps though.

Wingnuts were selling their kits at nicely discounted prices with a free Windsock volume (Richthofen, SE5 squadrons, and Camel squadrons - my choice) thrown in. I just got a Alb DVa OAW (same contents as the the DVa) this time around to use with some decals I had bought some time ago. Going back tomorrow to pick a couple of models from the competition tables and possibly splash out on something else.

Not so much WW1 aviation subjects on the tables so far compared to last time.

Cheers

There's a developing drought as regards new WnW kits particularly if the additional early/late versions of an existing kits are ignored. Personally there's just the Albatross B.II & the big AEG remaining on the shopping list & I'll probably leave those until just before they start charging for postage - whenever that may be.

It's a good opportunity to look to other kits though - especially from our friends like Aviattic & Bo in 1/32 plus CSM & GasPatch in 1/48.

Russell
