cheers guys for the helpful advice it's all great stuff.

as a strange coincidence to this thread i had a look on ebay last night and came across a brand new wnw kit (junkers j1) which is quite unusual, i think it's the first wnw kit i have seen on ebay.

anyway i put a speculative bid in of £53 and to my suprise won it (they sell at hannants for £79) plus the seller only lives 30 mile down the road. very strange !

so i guess this will be my first wnw kit

cheers

michael

Michael,

Good win on the Junkers kit on ebay Michael, Wingnut kits are starting to appear on ebay more frequently now, I won a WnW Gotha on ebay only last week for $92 Australian, that's about 59 pound.

Have fun building the Junkers, it is an excellent kit and makes up to be a big model.

Well Done with your eBay win, Michael. The Junkers is a great kit (which of the WNW stable is not??

) and I'm sure that you will enjoy building it. Good luck!

seller dispatched today so fingers crossed not long to wait

i guess the flip side of this thread is which is the toughest wnw kit to build?

cheers

Michael,
I'd hazard the guess the Fee would be the toughest my friend due to the rigging involved.

Thanks Lance, not only the rigging, it's the shear number of parts in the kit, the 'Dark Side' beckons. $:-\$

just out of curiosity before i get started on the junkers, does anyone know of any other paint schemes and decal options available other than the ones shown with the kit?

cheers

Michael,
As far as I'm aware there aren't any aftermarket options available my friend. That being said there's no telling what a little research may turn up for you.
