Title: Wingnut Wings announces a new model
Post by: Manni on November 06, 2018, 04:17:55 PM
WNW announced a new model for 2019. They say it will be revealed at the scale model world on November, 11th.
Let the speculations begin. 8)

I am SURE, it will be my long, long anticipated Airco DH.4!!

I wish for FF.33 or BE.2c. But I will welcome anything from WW1 era. Funny, I would have never thought, I would have to add a reservation like this :)
Anyway, let us hope it is not Bf109 or FW190 or anything like that. ;D

I'm surprised they are doing a Lancaster.  Haven't all their other models so far been WWI era?  I have a Lancaster in 1/48 scale and it's already pretty big so theirs will be huge!  I would still like to have it but I'm sure it will be their most expensive (single) model yet.

Maybe a new Duelist combo boxing?

Like a Dolphin vs Pfalz D.IIIa?

Personally I'd prefer a BE2c or a DH.5

Based on the # provided, it would be in the single boxing series.  The duelist would complement Ray's new book though.  I am with you on the BE2c or DH 5

A Viper engined SE5a must be on the stocks somewhere. Mind you, an early SE5 as flown initially by 56Sqdn would be most welcome.

Except that the pictured Lanc nose has no kit number, and says "In development for 2020". The new kit to be revealed at Telford on 11 November is shown on their site as 32039, and in Development for 2019.

Maybe it is the Lancaster cockpit, but I guess we'll know for sure by Sunday (Being 11/11, a Great War subject would seem more appropriate.)

the email was specific about the timing of the announcement, so i a) think it's another model, not the cockpit set, and b) think it will be a WWI subject, given the timing.

Post by: macsporran on November 10, 2018, 05:59:44 PM
If it's announced at 11:00 on 11/11/18 then that is such a hugely significant time, it'll surely be a hugely significant subject. (NOT a Dr1 of course that would have been better announced on 21/4/18)
Given the mention of the Fok DVII specifically in the Versailles Treaty, I'd go for a triple boxing of that.

Title: Re: Wingnut Wings announces a new model
Post by: hiddeous1973 on November 10, 2018, 09:35:32 PM
a triple kit of the D.VII would indeed be a good guess given the date and time, but anything else is as usually a big guess when it comes to WnW and anouncements....
Title: Re: Wingnut Wings announces a new model
Post by: Ringleheim on November 10, 2018, 10:34:59 PM
Considering it will be announced on the 100th anniversary of the end of the war, I certainly hope they cook up something significant, and not just the next random new kit release.

I'm not sure what "significant" would mean in this context, however.

I'm hoping for a Fokker Dr.I, but I'm always hoping for a Dr.I.

If not that, a Caudron G.IV has been what I've wished for for a long time now, too.

A re-boxing of something we've already seen, like a D.VII triple boxing, would be a huge disappointment.

Always like to see new stuff!

Post by: Dekenba1 on November 11, 2018, 09:06:13 PM
I used to suggest the O/400 as a joke, thinking WNW would not want to model another big bomber.

I should have known better.

Superb choice - it's not as if we've not got enough fighters and two-seaters already?

The O/400 next to the Lancaster will be stunning.

What I was secretly hoping for (and thought may be a possibility given the importance of the announcement date), although I would also have been happy with a BE2, a DH4 or 5, a Caudron G.3 or G.4, or a dozen other deserving aircraft.

Very happy to see an HP! 🙂

    With their last two planned releases announced Wingnut Wings makes me wish I'd invested in a plastics production factory, that's enormous! I don't see one of these nor the Lanc in my future however I'm excited for those who do, WNW is definitely outside the proverbial box of late. Who would have thought ...........??? :o :o :o

Wow, almost fell off my chair.  CSM has the O/400 in 1/48 and now Wingnuts will bring it in 1/32.  A good time for WW I modelers although most will have to add an addition to the house to park this beauty.
Title: Re: Wingnut Wings announces a new model
Post by: Ringleheim on November 12, 2018, 12:36:29 AM
It's an interesting release, and I admire their bravery in marketing such a huge airplane, but I have no interest in this one.

It's ridiculously large in 1/32 scale and it's an eyesore of an aircraft.

Peter Jackson just can't bring himself to model aircraft from other countries, can he?!

I would build the Lancaster before this one!  Fact is I have the display space for neither, and if i I did, it would have a Felixstowe in it anyway!

OH well, onto the next WNW release, whenever that will be.

Mark, that's an interesting point you raise!  Is it possible the hinge is metal but painted gray in the photo?  I shudder to think that amount of weight/force in being transferred through that tiny hinge in styrene! 

I'll be curious to see how they engineered that.

I think there are many who ask themselves the same question ... in the real plane there was not an anchorage point between wing and fuselage when the wings were bent? .... in this case it could be the fuselage itself to support the load ...

There's no wing fold mechanism in the kit. It's wings out or wings in.
