It's gone.   Hopefully it's a short-lived glitch.   :(

Your inquisitive Administrator has been in contact with Wingnut Wings and can assure everyone things are okay there.

"Its a DNS issue. Its fine from our end but could take a bit to update in other parts of the world" is the message to worried members from Wingnuts HQ.

Everybody breathe out now :)

Thank you Dave!  Yes, I can confirm that the site is back and all is right with our WNW world again.  Whew!  :-)

Still down in my part of the world, but it comes back on-line with the Halberstadt available, I'm a very happy camper.

    Working just fine here in the Great White North, and sorry Bud, no Halberstadt to be found. I share your anticipation! ;)

I'm not getting through here in the UK, but when I crank on the VPN and ping it from a Canadian server the website pops up AOK.

Weird!

It was out here yesterday, Bob, but I suspect WNW are working through the problem in steps. In the interim I'm glad we can support the Commonwealth as ever! You are probably still checking for a re-release of their Pfalz ........., or perhaps a Triplane in red.....? ;)

I've given up on the German Tripe, Lance, but a Pfalz DIII would be welcome.  ;)

That would be nice (Sprues A, B & C had Pfalz D.III/D.IIIa on it), they were in the plans once.  Hope they release it since Roden is not doing WW I currently/anymore.

After the bashing that Roden got from many of the modelers on the forums, I would surprised to ever see Roden do another WWI kit.  Too bad, their stuff was doable and enjoyable.

Totally agree, Mark.
I hope in the near future Roden doubles down and come back with a killer model. They clearly have the ability to produce fine kits and with the way technologies are progressing I hope this happens sooner rather than never.  :)

     I'll add my support of Roden's products here as well. Their return to the market place with some WW.I subjects would be most welcome. I have two "favorite" WW.I Models on my shelf, and one is their SSW D.III, like all of their kits it's not perfect however which others are? With a few minor corrections and additions like all of the market's offerings it's a first class model.
Cheers,
Lance

I'm gonna jump on the Roden band wagon, as well.  I've built 7 1/48 scale Roden models and thoroughly enjoyed every one of them.  Some of my first WWI models were Roden, so maybe that's why I have very few complaints.  I'm used to them.  In fact, some of my favorites are Roden models.  In addition, customer service has always been superb.  Some of my kits came with broken parts and Roden was quick to replace them, along with some lovely postcards from the Ukraine signed by Olga.

As for the WNW site, it seems to be up and running at the moment here in NorCal.
Cheers,
Bud

Express your views and wishes directly to Roden by sending to [email protected]. I would like to see them continue their 1/48th scale line with a Dh.9a, Voisin III, Ago C.I, and others. Lots of subjects available.
