A 2F.1 would be fine, as would a Junkers D.1., and a EV/DVIII. That said, I'd hoped to see some early war types: Voisin, farman, Bristol boxkite, etc.

Now that's one I had forgotten about, the  Junkers D.1, what a cool model that would be  ;)

Yeah, it's all about corrugations...

Even without corrugations, I am still hoping for a Fokker E.V/D.VIII.
That is my speculation...or at least wishful thinking. ;) ;D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

I'd like to see a Hanriot and a Berg D.1.

Apart from all the models that we dream of: What we actually know is that WnW is going to give us a Sopwith Camel. But which versions do you think should or could WnW do? I have to admit that I am neither a huge fan of the Camel, nor do I know much about the versions that were. But I would buy one, if I could make it a late war USAS version, and another one, if it were a "Comic". (Which were the accurate designations of those versions?) and I know , there were many more interesting Camels out there, then!

Which are the Camels that you would like to see? Or, which versions do you think are we likely to see ? (Yes, I know, you'll never know with WnW...) Let me, let us know!

One that I would like to model is a USAS 185th Aero Sq. Gnome powered Camel Nightfighter. These were basically standard Gnome Camels with Holt flares. Bat insignia is cool.

Oh, yes! especially the white post-war-one, seen on page 24 in Jon Guttman, Peter Bull, "Sopwith Camel"!

The 2F.1 naval Camel sported some cool schemes, and there are always the shipboard Camels from USS Texas.

As Des quite rightly pointed out above:

Surely a DR.I will be coming soon and maybe a DR.I not long after.   ;)

I'd love to see a Friedrichshafen FF 33E/H, a Pfalz D.VIII, and any of the Caudrons, Farmans and other cool French planes!

A Fokker DR.I would be first class.
A Fokker DR.I with all necessary parts in the box for a Fokker F.I would be super duper hyper first class.  ;)

Yes, von Snapper, but don't forget that bit about sincere flattery etc.....and I'll also snap for a Hanriot while I'm at it....a DR1 and an HD1 would be sublime.
