The Bristol is now on the Wingnut page as coming soon. September 2015.
-
For sale @ 99$
-
And there is a NZPAF option... Might have to do some shopping
-
oh and there was me saying I wouldn't get any post war era aircraft.......... ::)
-
So who a going to be the first on our forum to spring for one?

Just ordered two for my birthday (today!) Irish and one of tje birds stationed in Egypt for me.
-
im in
-
Sorry, no Hisso - no fun :(
-
I think I'll skip this one.
I've a fair few Silver Wings kits to cover the inter-war period, and the Bristol is just not distinctive enough for me compared to the existing WNW kit.
-
Darn it, I'm majorly tempted by the Irish one! 8)
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Rowan has a post war set in progress. Theres some lovely university air squadron schemes.
-
No slots in the upper wing or tropical header tank, but very nice nontheless.

Ordered one but not enthused with the markings. Was hoping for maybe a Canadian bird.

...and no message hook. I wonder why these were not included. Maybe they're planning two boxings? ???

Wouldn't one think that the Ninak would be right behind it?
-
I would like the longer muffler (not sure what else) to make Andrew McKeever's aircraft. I did buy the earlier kit, but not interested in this one.

Personally, I hope not. I'm hoping for a nice surprise with the new releases, not the release of two very long promised kits that are basically slightly reworked past kits. As many have hoped, where's the B.E.2? Surprise us Wingnuts!!

Yeah, it's great how happy a WnW BE2 would make so many people...myself included. Hell, it maybe could out-sell their Camel.....maybe. -M

I bet you all my unused Roden decals on it.

I'll see you your unused Roden decals and raise you all my unused Roden lozenge decals. ;D

the good thing about this kit is i would estimate the original brisfit kit to have not a whole lot left in stock. but minus decals you could make any f2b with this kit.

Just checked the parts and you're right, Scott. You can build any F2b with this kit. Except a Mk.IV. It finally dawned on me that this kit is a Mk.II/III and the wing slats, extended tail skid and message hook were all characteristics of the Mk.IV, so it looks like they probably will do another boxing as there are parts on fret "I" that are "blued out", Mk.IV tail skid among them.

Glad to see they have released this kit though it isn't my cup of tea!

Nice looking kit but not for me either, I prefer the pre-war types.

Yay! One I don't feel compelled to buy. But i do like the box art.

Hmmm . . . that being the case, and especially as it has the extended exhausts, I may just pop for one of these myself.

That would be my reason for buying it as well..

So maybe it means a Christmas "Surprise" in coming our way again.

Yep... and it will have 3 wings and a rotary engine and it will have twin machine guns and it will be sold by the thousands and I wish I had shares in WNW when it's released!
I'm doing a lot of wishing... now make my wishes come true, Sir Peter!

true. bud, i saw the rudder and both sets of cowls and jumped to conclusions but your correct it is mainly a mark ii/iii kit. you can build any but the mk iv or alternately engined .and of course can build the mr.1 version or the veneer covered version which i cant remember the name of atm

Well spotted Bud, thanks. In that case I'm holding out for the Mk.IV, all that extra baggage puts it top of my "most wanted" list.
Cheers,
Tony.
