Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[Juan]

From your mouth to God's ear...  Although anything they release would interest me.   

[Doug Mace]

If someone had told you in 2007 that a new company was going to release that list of WW1 subjects in IM plastic and that their kits would raise the bar for quality, would you have believed them?

We live in a true golden age for our hobby, and our niche of that hobby in particular.  Of course, like everyone else, I still want more (a Short 184 and Sopwith Baby would be lovely). It's the human condition, sadly.

  A torpedo carrying Short 184 would be marvelous, iang.... an elegant airplane. A Baby would be pretty cool too.                   -M

I'm sorry but I couldn't stop myself 

Hahaha. Very clever.

Besides the Camel releases, do y'all think we might possibly get a surprise release?

I know the Camel's a popular beast, but I really was disappointed to see that six new releases announced were all one type (plus one previously-released that, truth be told, I do kinda want)! Sure I'd love a BE.2 and/or DH.4, but any sort of variety would be lovely!

I know no company exists to cater to my tastes and talents, but it was a disappointing moment. Rant over.

I can't wait for the day where there's six Fokker Dr 1 offerings......I'm not even sure if there could be that many....F1, DR1, maybe a Voss special and a Duelist with a Sopwith Triplane or Harry Tate??  Okay I'll settle for four

With only 320 Dr.1's produced, there are not so many variants. Just the F.I prototypes and the standard Dr.1

But this isn't a WNW problem, this is a problem in your mind.  I wish it was a DR 1 but I'm still excited.  Honestly If it was a BE 2 I couldn't have cared less.  Thats something that doesn't interest me in the least.  Being disappointed at something that was not released that you want is just created by you.  No one ever said this kit is being released, it has never been hinted.....We all have our favorites, and maybe in due time WNW will take care of each and everyone, but for now be excited for what we do have and the amazing job they do for us......

Oh I don't know. F1, DR1 Oberusel, DR1 Le Rhone, Early, Late, and a USAS boxing

a boxing with top wing rotting off...

... Just to add a Jasta Boelke variant Dr1 with undercarriage modifications...

I am really excited by the 6 WNW Camel releases, they are really all very different and exciting releases... just think about it, 6 releases in the last year since their last release, one every two months, no model company has ever done that in 1/32! Sure, some of them look the same, but if you study Camels carefully you will see the differences... And BTW, the Ships Camel is the real surprise. This is a totally different airframe, with different wings and a fuselage in two pieces that can be disassembled, metal tube center-section struts and different armament... a very different and desirable beastie, yes, I have walked under Culley's Camel at the IWM, I am inspired! OK, we need to wait til January, that is no hardship! Why do WNW do them all at once? Easy answer, so much more cost effective, decals all printed as one in a bunch, the moulding tooling done as a batch, the packaging and instructions all printed as one batch, the final packaging done in some Far Eastern country in one go.. a marvel of modern kit production! Thank You, Sir Peter! (Ok, RA and the Greatest Team, you deserve credit too!)

Marc,

The last release was in November 2015 & the Camel won't be in modellers hands until 2017 so although I admire enthusiasm, to suggest that WNW will have effectively released a 1/32 scale kit every two months since the last release is going a bit far - especially as you say we "need to study the Camels carefully to see the differences".

Honestly I almost said that originally....

[dr 1 ace]

Well with the Camel finally being released  and the Taube announced, time to re-think what we'd all like next or guess at what WNW might do.

For me: a Dolphin,  next in no particular order-- Dh-4, Sopwith 1-1/2 Stutter, Halberstadt


ps: it is fun to go back to the start of this thread and see how many guesses and out right never to be dreamed wishes (Taube -right Ssasho0 !) have come thru.

I can dream...

[PrzemoL]

I do not care what they release. Almost anything will be welcome. But I would finally like to lay my hands on those Camels, apparently released in late, very late, 2016... Hey, it is February 2017 already!
