Depends on how big the bribe is :D :D :D  All I can say at this stage is that is coming from a respected manufacturer, I have been sworn to secrecy but I can assure you it is going to be beauty, it will be plastic, not resin and at this stage it will be released early 2018 baring any hold ups.

Wouldn't it be nice if, for once, a planned release date proved achievable!

From what I have heard they are on track for an early 2018 release, but time will tell.

Thank you for the heads-up Des.

I find this exciting news!

Do you think it likely a manufacturers announcement will be forthcoming any time soon?

Poor old Hobbycraft Nieuport 17 kit was thrown out of the queue waiting to be build. I see some Nieuport 17/23/21 projects on the horizon..., and I like what I see...

Any news on this 1:32 scale injection moulded Nieuport 17 from CSM can now be posted here  https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=9017.15

Getting this topic back on track is my speculation that Wingnuts are going to give us a BE.2 for Christmas, I can always hope  ::)

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...

I am tired of speculating and will be happy with some DH.4.

If CSM is spoken in 1/32 scale can we expect a beautiful Wingnut model at 1/48 ?
it would be fair  ;)

How about a Curtiss Jenny? Not exactly normal WNW fare.

A Friedrichshafen G.III will be the Christmas surprise and will complete the German bomber trio. I can dream.....

Both the Curtiss Jenny and an Avro 504 would be excellent additions.

The Curtiss Jenny would be nice, but would like to see a Sopwith Dolphin. It would also be nice if they bring something completely out  of nowhere like the Taube, maybe another early design like the VOISIN III or BLERIOT XI. Both of which, Des scratchbuilt, but then he can give us all pointers in building them. ;D

I would like to see the BE2c and BE2e.  With the FE2's and the RE8, you could show the evolution of the reconnaissance aircraft at the Royal Aircraft Factory.
