Good-oh!

Wow late model post war Snipes - at last some colour!!
-
Just ordered an early version. This is great stuff!

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.

What an ugly beast! Doesn't appeal to me - each to their own I suppose...

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!

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.

Very nice indeed.

D.VIIF -- yes!

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.

Hi Bud,
The Snipe - it may only be me but I don't find this aircraft particularly aesthetically pleasing. No criticism of WNW or the model quality etc, but not my first choice.

What he said. Got mine on order.
-
It's not ugly and boring!
It offers a wide range of post war colourful schemes, many achieved by masking, not needing decals, though I know Rowans on it already
I hope they are thinking of a post war biff mark 4
-
This is one I have been waiting for. I'm more taken with the late version but i'm torn between the Russian scheme and a silver one. Maybe just buy 2 and be done with it.
-
I've died and gone to plastic heaven :o
Early Snipe for me, me thinks!

I wouldn't go as far as boring, but pretty it aint..!!
Everyone has different taste, thankfully!!!!!

I have ordered the late version, I really like the Soviet markings, something different.

Looking forward to you doing your work on this one Des. Although the Snipe does not appeal to me, I am pleased to see WNW adding a bit of extra variety to the schemes.
-
Oh dear, another hit on the wallet!! ;D
It'll be an Early one for me first. Get a Late version at some time. I do like the Russian one.

It is nice to note here how excellent WNW listens to their customers ;). After recieving my Fokker D.VII in december I had an E-mail discussion with Richard Alexander about some details for an LVA D.VII. He proved great help and I expressed my wish for a D.VIIF in the future with a BMW engine as most dutch versions had these engines. Now almost within a month WNW has reacted to my wish. That's listening to customers. Now the next will be the Fokker D.III and Rumpler C.VIII ;). Can't wait.

-
well thats the late one ordered along with 3 other recent releases. I nearly doubled the stash in one go. It should keep me quiet for a year or so I just need to invest in some more storage space.
-
I've ordered both kits too, especially since Rowan is releasing decal sets that really appeal to me.
Cheers,
Chris
-
Hhmmm - another British green/brown aeroplane?
I may give this one a miss.
-
Now to choose which one to buy.....decisions decisions.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette
Still awaiting the Bristol Rumbledeethump though
-
Snipe... Ugly yes but what a great looing kit. I won't rush for one though, far too many projects on the go. But if I did it would be a late version, I just love the solver interawr colours on GB aircraft.
I'll keep hoping the BMW D.VII comes out when they say though, that one will be on my shopping list.
I wonder what other *unexpeced releases we are in line for though? :o

Hi, Bud,
Thanks, mate: this worked very well. For some reason, although I was refreshing the page last night and this morning, there was no change to the Early Version listing as "Coming Soon." Not sure if this was changed just prior to using your link, but the link worked: one Early Version Snipe is now on its way to the Great White North! :D
And it is white: almost a foot of the white stuff dumped on us yesterday! ;D Thanks again!
-
Ah, most interesting! I think, sooner or later I'll get the late Snipe and make it the soviet version.
As stated some postings before: So many of the WW1-planes served on in the many wars after the Wartoendallwars - most interesting...

Good job, Gary! Looks like we'll be having a Barker fest, if Rowan can get that sheet out soon. I think I'm gonna start this one as soon as I get it.

ok but that only leaves the salmson and 2 odd eindeckers left on the in production menu. i wonder whay surprises they will have for us next christmas? cmon aviatik d.1 and hansa d.1!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
A Pfalz D111, a Spad VII, A Brisfit Mark IV, a Macchi M5, , a Hanriot HD1, a Dolphin.
I can feel it in my bones
-
I wonder too if next christmas surprises is Sopwith Camel 2F1 (no 32017)
Look in the Sopwith Snipe kit the engine (Bentley BR.2) part number is 132E0017, the same engine with Camel 2F1.

I did suggest this a few days back some where else, I'm sure WNW did say they would not produce a kit if a perfectly good kit of that aircraft was already available. All existing kits are of Sopwith Camel's not Sopwith 2F1 Camel's.
Heres hoping :)

Oh no!
I'm now getting seriously tempted by this kit (I really like the look of this Snipe) - just a shame WNW did not release at the same as my last order before Christmas.
The trouble is, I'm now starting to acquire a small stash (currently standing at nine kits) and when mentioned to the wife I got the comment back as to where I going to store all these kits until built!!!
I must resist temptation, I must resist temptation ......................

Do you mean the new silver Snipe kit with all those colourful post war squadron markings?

Is the problem here that British aircraft had dull colour schemes or is the problem that people feel that British aircraft are over-represented in the WNW range?
By my reckoning, WNW have released 17 kits of German aircraft, and 12 of British (not including the dogfight double, which obviously gives you one German and one British) and the of the next four kits that we know for certain that WNW have in the pipeline, 3 are of German aircraft and one is French.

I find the British planes look pretty much the same - green/brown - although there is the odd interesting scheme that Rowan tends to unearth, especially trainers.
The German designs, by comparison, look so colourful and just more interesting.

Fair enough!
I seem to remember reading a British pilot envious description of how colourful the German aircraft he saw in combat were, so even then there were people who weren't that keen on PC10 :)

Hmmm. You're right! The Rumpler C.I, Albatros C.III and the Aviatic C.I look nothing at all alike. ;)

So Rowan, I just ordered my Snipe... was disappointed in the wartime schemes though- any chance one of your upcoming 1/32nd decal sets might include markings for 26-vicory Ace Capt. Ron Elwynn King of No.4SQ AFC? (Please say yes! Please say yes!) ;)
-
Well, my snipe is on order :D Definitely will make mine a 4SQN Australian Flying Corps bird, much like my 1:48 Blue Max Snipe...

Brad, will you be doing Tommy Baker's bus, or will you wait for Rowan to do Bo King's? I've got my Snipe on the way and plan on building it in Baker's markings and build my Blue Max kit at the same time in King's markings. Should be fun.
Cheers,
Bud
-
A beautiful Snipe Brad. Mine is on order too, hopefully will have it Monday or Tuesday, I have opted for the Soviet markings, something different.
Des.
-
Hi Bud! Baker's mount is a possibility, but I think he only scored one kill on Snipes.... Bo King's Snipe will be a hard one to resist, given that he was the Snipe ace of the war.... Some of King's combat reports flying Snipes are quite interesting :)
-
Yes indeed, that Snipe is a beauty. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the WnW kit.
Cheers,
Chris

Nice and pretty colourful too!!
