The Dolphin was more of a major Sopwith player than the Snipe during the war, Rick, and I'd love either, both or all three, (Strutter, BE & Dolphin) - but I hae ma doots about much more coming from Wingnuts. Hope I'm wrong.

You are right of course. I forgot about the Dolphin  :-[ Odd as that is one flown by one of the Squadrons I model  :o (19 Sq. RAF)

What would be cool, and yeah I'm dreaming, but I would love to see them do would be a Sablatnig SF5.

Also a Friedrichshafen G.III. I can dream.

I think besides the Camel, either a Be2 or a Hanriot will be the surprise this year.

The Avro 504 would provide a wide variety of options too...

Good choice Ian, the Avro 504 along with a Be2 would make two perfect kits.

Even with the more localised distribution (for some - depending on location) that Weta offers, at this point in December I'd suggest it's very unlikely that any new kit even if released in the next couple of days would manage to be under the Christmas tree in time.

I'm expecting the 'Christmas suprise will be a 'Zero' - no not the Jap one!

Weta Europe promises the delivery to my place in 2-3 days, so I still hope we will see some new kits under the Christmas tree. But to this end they would need to be released this weekend. Last days of truth,  in my opinion. If we do not see anything by Monday 19th, I would be very disappointed, sort of a kid disappointment when no dreamt of gifts are found under the tree. Good news is that it is only a couple of days of uncertainty.

As my old army sergeant would say - "Steady now lads , don't anticipate the word of command"  :D

It does says "Late 2016 (very late 2016)"  so that could be 11.59pm on the 31st   :-\

There's could be some serious egg covered faces if it isn't but I doubt very much, very much indeed in fact, if anyone at WnW will be too concerned about that  ;)

'It will come when it will come, but when' - 'that is the question'

Happy Xmas guys - hope you get what you want but don't hold yer breath for something new from 'you know who' now will you  ;)

My last order from Weta arrived 2 days later , so there would be time for new releases until the 21st , theoreticaly :).

But I don't want the boring Camel under my tree , I would prefer something bigger with two engines or at least with two seats.

Unfortunately it seems I will be disappointed this year.
The end is coming , I'm afraid.
And I don't mean the end of the year ....

I was just thinking and wondering.....is wingnuts shutting down?  Every single year they have done a Xmas release even giving a cutoff date so you can be assured to have a box under the tree. Have they even released anything this year? I font recall when the Felix and a e g came out but it seems long ago. Have they cut staff. Why are we not getting virtually any product releases anymore. I don't check this thread regularly as 1/32 is not my favorite scale. Even though  I have a good 30 to 40 1/32 ww1 aircraft kits. Nothing compared to the hundreds of 1/48 and 1/72. Anyway maybe this has been discussed but it seems strange at best?!?!?!
