The next days will show us if the end is coming  :-\.
A year without a Christmas Special would be a very bad sign for Wingnut's future ....

So let's hope for the best !

My guess is a Duellist pack with the Camel and a Fokker Dr.I .

Would be nice , but something completely unexpected would be better.

I fancy the first edition of the Camel in a duellist-set with a resurrected LVG C.VI! So what does that sound like, lads 'n ladies?

Well, one dualist set has two fighters, the other a fighter and Felix. So a combo of an LVG, and camel would work, or a variation of the other two place singles: DFW, Rumpler, Hannover,  or a W-12 variant. A Camel and DVIII would introduce two new kits. The Triplane/ Camel would do the same.
 Add to the equation that the Felix was a new kit, and the W-29 OOP, and the LVG/Camel boxing is more of a possibility. How about a Camel/Gotha?

Camel / Gotha combo would be comic.

I would not view the issue of a Christmas surprise as a barograph of WNW's condition.  The switch to Weta was a massive undertaking and I recall that there were challenges with the subcontractors.

Well the Camel still says Very Late 2016, so for now the demise of WNW may be greatly exaggerated
