Title: WNW Albatros Reissue x 6
Post by: RAGIII on September 27, 2019, 09:48:01 AM
Just saw this on FB. WNW is reissuing 6 versions of the Albatros DV and DVa based on their former Post Purchase Decal sheets.

That's great news.
I checked a few hours ago and concluded I missed the Albi boat. Kinda scary they added a whole pile shortly after. :o

Sweet!

Also looks like they have the plastic & PE to do the V or Va.

A trickle turns to a stream, turns to a flood! Great time to be a WWI modeller.
Interesting that the Bavarian D.Va is only available direct from NZ. That would likely be the most desirable, but postage and import might be a killer for us in the UK and Europe.
Also great that the camo planes without lozenge decals are 10bucks cheaper. (Which again asks why Goering's D.VII without lozenge is dearer than Barker's Snipe?)
Great stuff!

WNW must have inked a deal that increases their production capacity greatly.  Knowing they are a design company, someone else produces their molds and does their production.  The kits they've announced recently are from molds already made.  I wouldn't be suprised if the company that produces their kits is the same Korean one that does Gallery Models for MRC, the importer here in the US.  Moulding quality and level of detail looks very similar.

WNW drops a nuke on us!

In the email it speaks of a new series like the these new Albatros releases, so perhaps we will see other multiple brown box offerings soon.

I would like to see WNW offer just the plain plastic only kit at a discount, kind of like Eduard does the overtrees boxings. There are so many aftermarket decals, etc. available now for the Albies.

Looking at the sold out decal sheets suggests we will have Fighting Fokkers parts 1-5 (D.VIIs) and Flying Circus parts 1-2 (Pfalz) boxings in raw cardboard to look forward to too, dontcha think?

Have you compared the contents of the D7 with the Snipe? We get much more with the D7.
Title: Re: WNW Albatros Reissue x 6
Post by: macsporran on September 28, 2019, 05:58:04 PM
Yes you could well be right, but the quantity of content doesn't seem to affect the price of other single seaters- viz the Eindeckers in fairly empty boxes compared to, say, the Camels at the same RRP.
Anyway I've happily bought several D.VIIs at whatever cost : it isn't the price that will stop me buying the forthcoming one!

So looking forward to build the Hans Auer, Jasta 32b "Shooting Star".  :)

This is fantastic news for those of us that jumped on the WNW train late. I hope it continues.

Good Timing as I see the MvR version is now sold out.

Interesting how WNW has changed a bit. 1st with the upcoming Dr.I but also that they have apparently rerun the 32067 Fokker D.VII Fokker early kit when previously it was 1 production run only.

if you are in Europe, here in Italy there is an online store that also has the Bavarian dva version. (I don't know if it's allowed to name stores)

I pre-ordered the Albatros D.V "Flying Circus", and was wondering if anyone knows when they msy be released? It's almost the end of November in about a week. Are they still coming out this month?
Title: Re: WNW Albatros Reissue x 6
Post by: rolanddvi on November 24, 2019, 05:47:26 AM
I pre-ordered the Bavarians kit and the Herman Goring Fokker and have not received them yet. But I did see on a retail website for a store in the US that they have the Goring and Barker kits for sale and in stock?

Just got a shipping nortice from Wingnut Wings that the Albatros D.V "Flying Circus" that I ordered has shipped. So I'm guessing the other Alabtros' and Pfalz D.IIIa are shipping now.

Still no news about my (32902) Bavarians. :(
When I ordered it was november...they changed it to december just like that.
No notice...nothing...had to find out on their website they changed the release. Not chique.

Robin, I wouldn't be surprised if you get an email from them soon that it shipped. I ordered mine November 8, but like you, no notice or anything that it changed from shipping mid-late November to early December.

According to the Wingnuts homepage, all pre-orders will ship from Monday the 9th of Dec. In my case, I got an shipment notice for my pre-ordered kits earlier today, so it might be that someone has been working overtime at the WN-HQ to pack and ship the orders before x-mas  8)

Post by: Robin on December 09, 2019, 08:53:34 AM
I guess so.
Ordered mine in september. When there is a delay, the least a company can do is inform the customer...and say sorry.
Now marked as "pre order for early december"...debatable, but early december passed also I think. 
First kit I ordered directly from WNW...I'll think twice next time.
