Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[Derrick]

On HPH's facebook page they have some of the paint schemes for their Aviatik Berg D.1. Here is the link for those interested.

For WNW new releases, I pray to Odin for: a Friedrichshafen FF.33E, a Halberstadt CL.V,  an Albatros C.X and C.XII, and an Albatros J.I/II....one can dream.

Nieuport variants, please!

I second the Friedrichshafen FF.33E, especially the Wolfschen, after reading the Wolf. The Red Baron built a fantastic 1/48 model based upon the book and it is an amazing read about an amazing crew and journey. They would disassemble the plane after every flight to hide it and reassemble it each time to fly it.

With Dave J's latest  post on March 24, time to stir the pot again.  e know about the Taube, so what is next ?  A Be2, maybe a Halberstadt D-II/V, maybe a another C-series Albatros,  how bout a Dolphin...

Having recently been scouting around for one of those okay-ish Hobbycraft SPAD XIIIs, it seems to me that they are now as rare as the Hobbycraft Camels had become. (And the model I was after needed work anyway - Guynemer's, ie. an early one with rounded wingtips. Which would also need more accurate decals.)

Kind of exasperating. I want a new kit to a good standard, but the SPAD XIII is such an important type that I can't see other manufacturers touching it, since the general assumption with famous types seems to be that WNW will eventually make a kit.

So how about it Wingnuts? Loads of boxing/markings possibilities? Surefire US sales? Please?

There's one right now on Ebay being bid for, Mark...latest bid at 20 bucks. I want one too but got too much else going on.

A SPAD XIII by WNW would probably be pretty spectacular.  The Hobbycraft version is pretty sparse although it is quite an nice and easy build.  Of course it would also be especially nice for us US types as so many were flown by our fledgling flyers.  It would also be nice to have markings for some French, Italian & Belgian machines. I guess we can hope!

[Bluesfan]

Thanks Doug!   But as you might guess, after spending some time on eBay and elsewhere I'd come to the conclusion that while I definitely want to build a XIII sometime before too long, I'm hedging my bets that a better kit will appear. From several reviews I saw, the Hobbycraft kit isn't quite at the level of the improved Camel kits they did. (Also - while 20 dollars sounds like a great price I'd have prob spent more by the time I got it over to the UK)
I *cough* have a few other kits to build first...

Cheers

My guess at the next 2:  Either BE2c or BE2e and the Halberstadt Cl.II.

My gut feeling....

I personally would like to see a Sopwith Dolphin, to go with the other Sopwith planes made by WNW or perhaps another 2 engine aircraft.

As to the Hobbycraft Spad XIII, this Canadian online store says both are in stock. Maybe give it a try. I had ordered the Spad International and a 1/32 Italeri Sabre from them back in January.

Give me a Strutter, a C Class Albatros, and a Be.2c and I'll be ecstatic.
