Title: There goes the WNW Hannover
Post by: macsporran on January 19, 2016, 07:06:41 AM
Going, going, gone!

That now makes 13 kits gone to the Sold Out list, but as all the Wingnut kits are limited edition they will all end up here one day, some sooner than others.

I guess it was around longer than most.  Released November, 2012.

Damn, waited too long. I knew I should have gotten one sooner. At least I just got the W-12 from SWMBO this past Friday for my birthday. I have a feeling the W-12 or the Albatros D.Va OAW will be the next one/ones to sell out.

Totally out of character for me, I actually got one and it's safely "stashed away"! As Des has pointed out, given they are all limited editions it's not "if", it's "when"! ;)

Well that is extremely provoking,it never occurred to me that this would sell out any time soon,it's not like you see many built examples,that's the third intended purchase I've missed,the HB and Fokker-built DVII being the others.Time to splurge on a few before this happens again,now where did I stash that crystal ball?

Phew! Me too!  Goodness knows when it's turn will come, but at least it
is safe and sound in the stash!

Not what I expected to be the next to sell out at all! It seems that some of the 2 seaters must have a smaller production run than other kits? Who knows  ??? The SE5a, RFC Pup, Pfalz and I think the Junkers are the oldest kits left are they not? Throw in the Gotha also and those would have been my guesses for selling out soon. Shows what I know  :o

No I didn't expect this one to be the next to sell out, fortunately I got one some time ago.

It naturally prompts the 'which one next' speculation. Although I don't expect they'll be next to go I think I'll get a Fokker E.IV & another Roland C.II sooner rather than later.

Would I be right in thinking that the number of available different kits has diminished over the last 12 months?

It certainly has dimished over the past three months.  The Alb. Fokker D.VII and the D.VIIF went away in December.  The Hanover went away in January.  During that same time we picked up two (2): The post war Ninak and the Albatros B. 11.

My guess is that when stocks of the earliest releases dip below 100 (or 50?) kits on hand... they re-appear on the WnW homepage as a warning to order: soon!
Title: Re: There goes the WNW Hannover
Post by: ALBATROS1234 on January 22, 2016, 04:00:00 AM
I don't know there are often newer things on the homepage that I doubt are almost gone.

One more kit where I waited too long.

I fully expect the Camel will be sold out next.

Before it goes on sale.

I have no idea what their production runs are on kits, but I suspect if they produce enough, the Camel will easily be the biggest seller.  Up until now I suspect that honor has belonged to the Fokker D.VII.

hmm maybe, certainly given the subject's iconic status it will sell very well;  although I can't see most people buying and building more than 1 Camel, whereas there are soooo many Jasta schemes for the D.VII it lends itself to multiple builds...

Oh I don't know, there's a dark green; a slightly lighter green; a darker green than the first dark green; a reddish green; a brownish green; a reddish green-brown; a muted brown with a touch of green; a .......

And, of course, the early Camel, late Camel, Mid Camel, early-mid Camel, very late Camel, fairly late, medium late, fashionably late & too late.

.... yes that would be crazy - shucks, imagine if somebody thought of releasing models of a Fokker DVII (Fok), Fokker DVII (Alb),  Fokker DVII (OAW), Fokker DVIIF  ;)

Don't forget the most famous Camel of all, the "Woof" Camel.  This one wasn't PC 10 at all!  Heck, did it even have wings?

now that is the first version of Camel I like! I want one of those!

but only if they include a Snoopy figure!




but seriously, I think the Camel will do well with shops and other retailers, it is one of the most known planes out there, together with the DR.I

I would do a USN Camel in a heartbeat.

That USS Texas bird sure looks a lot like a Hanriot HD.1.  The dihedral is on the top wing and not the bottom wings, like you would see with the Camel.

Eric:

According to the archives at the US Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL the Texas used F.1 Camels as observation planes. Maybe they started with Hanriot, I know the US Navy used the Hanriot float plane version. I guess anything is possible.

What was funny, a little while ago I went on the Wingnut Wings website and in the upper right hand corner on the free shipping banner was the Hannover. Had to laugh.

Post by: macsporran on January 30, 2016, 10:06:44 AM
..... and why have both the FE 2b special offers now appeared as "coming soon" when they were both freely available recently - would have thought "sold out" would be the next logical step.
(I had thought lack of supplies of the booklet might be the reason but the late Fee changed status a few days before the early one, which suggested they still had some books at that point.)
How very strange!

Back to the Hannover being sold out. I have one and if anyone is interested please contact me. I tried posting in Buy, Swap and Trade but I cannot figure out how to post there.
