Ok can I play this game.  An obvious Christmas surprise would be a Comic Camel, it uses many parts parts from the other camels and they could do a duelist with a Gotha... i’d Still prefer a Sopwith Dolphin though...

I don’t want a Nieuport 17 just yet... I’m wrestling with the special hobby Nieuport 11 and if the 17 came out I know I’d lose interest in the 11... btw no insult to the 11, I just have a short attention span for shiney new things...

Ray, Now that is one of the most logical speculations I have seen recently. Therefore it probably won't happen  ;D

Since the Nieuport 17 speculation has been both confirmed and squashed, I have to make a new guess. I'm tempted to say DH.4, as that's what I *want*.

So I'm going to say 1 1/2 Strutter...

How about a Halberstadt D- or C type.   Or perhaps Sir Peter thinks we have been bad this year and we get a lump of coal.  In 1/32 of course....

Yep...a WnW Halberstadt CL2...the old work horse...very effective machine....would love it....and I haven't seen one in any scale since I built one when I was a kid...an old Aurora 1/48er, I would have to reckon, eh?

Mirage do a very nice line in Halberstadt CLIIs  in 1/48th scale.

It would be a stunner in 1/32 scale too and I would not be surprised if it's already on Wingnuts' 'to do' list.

Pegasus did a 1/72 Halberstadt Cl.ll back in 1990s or could have even been in 1980s.

Yes, a Halberstadt Cl.II would really, really be great; although, when it comes to two-seaters (is that the word?), personally I would love to see a DH.4 (lots of different engines/versions) or a Breguet XIV. Or a Morane-Saulnier BB! Not to mention all those austro-hungarian beauties! Or even all of those, mentioned here!! AAAAAARGH... (Sorry, I tend to become a bit greedy, when it comes to Wingnut Wings...)

Just would like some news outta WNW - I think in the WNW history this is the first where we have no idea of any future releases pending from them(since the Taube release)? Nothing showing on their website as a future release at all.

That is why it is a Christmas Surprise.   And since there are 20 unused numbers, there is plenty of room for speculation that we all just might get what we want.

Sigh bank balance going down again... I’m getting a Dolphin for Christmas it can go along with my loft packing CSM one in 1/48th and and older 1/72 version.  All time favorited plane... I wonder if the dog will get along with the Dolphin cause I’m surely going to be consigned to the dog house lmao by SWMBO
