Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[zavod44]

I didn't really care that much about a Camel but I am all in on the USAS....I might even go for the "Ships Camel"

   With only 7 business days left to Christmas Day I'd say Russell has it correct; "HUMBUG" I say!

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 ....

Great news - the Camel will be available soon..... err.. didn't we know that already? 

Plus there's a reissue of an existing kit. Not bad for a year of...... nothing otherwise.

That's mine for me, too!

I am sort of disappointed that they did not make it for Christmas. But then, at least two of my Christmas gifts from WNW ordered in previous years did not make it either. And - there is a Polish version!!! It is a must for me now, and I like the thought that, maybe, my insisting in building Polish versions of their kits finally inspired the WNW team to include a Polish version. Anyway, thanks WNW for this unusual Christmas surprise.

This were exactly my thought, when I saw it.

The number of choices is really great, I would say it was well worth waiting.

I for one am slightly disappointed, but in a very special way - today I downloaded the instruction manuals (I have all of the WNW instruction manuals downloaded and use them as reference source for my scratchbuilds) and found out that the .pdf files are only available in much smaller resolution than in case of previous models... Hopefully this will change once the kits are available in the webshop.

"Coming soon"...

I can see me going for the duellist kit.  I am not that much of an historian to want a particular variant of the Camel, so if the one in the duellist is interesting enough then that will do, just to get another LVG!!

Plus I kept the spare option decals and option sprues from my LVG a few years ago, so would not necessarily need to make the variant on the new duallist box..

Well since none of the boxings cover 43 squadron I will have to go with a Clerget version ( Perhaps the Duelists) if my finances clear up by release time. I also very much want the USAS version for the 185th Night Fighter bird/s.

PS: Rowan I hope you will do some Camel cals that include Woolets Camel and others from 43 sq. If not we will need to talk about custom decals 

[RAGIII]

By the way Des, I am sorry that WNW did not release that much wanted BE for you! I guess it is a good thing you enjoy scratch building as there is NO Joy for you this year

Those are the two that piqued my interest as well. Particularly the Ships Camel.

I remember me well, having picked up an Academy Camel, saying "oh no, no WNW Camel needed, I'll go with that one". Then I saw the first pics of the WNW Camel and thought "I don't care about what I said yesterday...", and some times later, when they published pics of the pretty blue Naval 10, I was finally lost. I'll definitely have one or two Camels (and I even like the boxart  ). And OK, they won't be here under the Christmas tree, but - ahem - well: My wallet is empty before Christmas (three kids want their presents...), but it will recover in January. So it's not the worst release date, at least for me.
I think another good thing is the rerelease of the LVG C IV. Although I have mine (and I think I paid more than the duellist boxing costs now  ) this is a very positive sign and economically speaking a very clever way to go (it would be a shame to leave these expensive molds unused). So there's hope for the Fokker D VII, Albatros D V, Re 8, Sopwith Triplane and so on!
At last there's just a small tear in little Borsos' Christmas eye, as I had hoped that we could see some real surprise releases. hm, but we'll see what Easter bunny will do for us...

I dunno, six Camel boxings is a pretty big surprise.  I hear what your saying, but I will say they didn't let us down.....

[PrzemoL]

IMHO it is a surprise. For me, especially, that Polish version. And a chance to get LVG and... build it in Polish markings, too  . I only regret that Camel in the Duellists is not that Polish one. So most probably I will go for the BR version with Murray's kite used in Kosciuszko squadron and for the Duellists, thus will build a British Camel, too.
