Thanks, Rowan!  Just ordered the early one.  Really surprised they didn't provide markings for Barker's bus, though. (Ahem! Rowan.)
Cheers,

Oh, oh, D.VIIF with BMW engine. The only version with lozenge and orange insignia in the LVA.

Apart from that all D.VII's in the LVA had a BMW engine in the end.

Which?  The Fokker or the Snipe? ;)

No Barker markings. A really disappointed Canuck here, but Rowan's stepping up to the plate to address the oversight!

Cheers,

Chris

I think the late variant Snipe is the first Wingnuts kit to feature all post-WW1 schemes only. A smart business move too as there is enormous potential in WW1 era aircraft in postwar service.

Congratulations to WNW too for the as-always excellent instructions booklet downloadable from their website. WNW instructions booklets are standalone reference texts in their own right and are applicable to models of the subject in any scale.

Hi, Bud,

How'd you order the Early Snipe? the WNW page indicates that it's "Coming Soon," and there's no action when you click on that button. The Late version is good to go. The Early version is what I want, so puh-leese let me know how you made the order!  ;)

I'm leaning towards the late version simply because of the decal sheets Rowan is going to bring out, very colourful, and the aeroplane has a better looking tail, IMO.

I think Red is right (sounds kinda commie, don't it).  Just refresh the page.

I had to do the same thing.
