As far as I know, Richard Alexander stated some time ago that WnW do not intend to produce models that are already at hand from other manufacturers. The Sopwith Triplane and maybe the SE.5a are no counterevidence, as it seems that Roden and WnW worked on them simultaneously - of course without knowing from each other. So, Tim,  best you get your Albatros D.III from the rich choice of Roden's offers - like I will do with their Siemens-Schuckert D.III.

Didn't Roden release their Pfalz D.III some time before the WNW Pfalz D.IIIa came out, or do you consider the different versions are enough to make the statement still valid? Also, doesn't that mean WNW won't produce a Fokker triplane of either version?

Add the DH2 to the list of duplicated kits also ! I still would speculate that we see some other Aircraft that have not been kitted before our desires for those already done are fulfilled. Again I will say the Dolphin, Fokker EV, Sopwith Strutter, etc.

This is me, waiting for the next WNW release, waiting for the Aviattic Ansaldo, waiting for the Copper State Dolphin and FK8.  You may recognize yourself here, as well:

FE-8, a Vickers FB-19, a Bristol Scout and a Phonix D-2. Hear, hear and hoo-ah.

A DVIII would give us in 1/32 kitted form: The Eindekker(s), Dr I, DVI,DVII(s),and hopefully the DVIII. A family lineage thing. Maybe similar to Sopwith. Similar, with the addition of the Camel.

The DVIII has already been kitted in 1/32 by AVIS - and it isn't bad.

That is true but it has always been somewhat rare and relatively costly even when first released, IIRC it was more expensive than a current WNW Single Seater?

I bought 2 AVIS DVIIIs when they first appeared, for 44.00 each. Not bad, and not a bad kit at all. I do not think the Roden DrI is a bad kit either. I do think a WNW kit of either or both would be a little better. So, I'm hoping that a WNW kit is on the horizon.
