I voted for the Snipe.

It's the only one I've finished so far so I can't really comment on the rest, but it's pretty much flawless. The most enjoyable kit I have ever built.

My only issue with WnW kits are the overly fine tolerances when fitting cockpit assemblies to fuselages but when I built the LVG C.VI, I didn't experience any difficulties at all, so it gets my vote as their best effort yet.

Cheers,

Chris

Oops! I didn't see the survey which doesn't include my choice. Sorry about that.
It's okay, Chris.  The LVG is a popular choice and rightfully so.  I didn't include it (or the W.29, or the RE8) simply because they are no longer available and the true, selfish reason for this poll is to help me, and others who have recently jumped on the WNW band wagon, decide which kit to buy next.  So, to be fair, I'll amend the poll to include those 3.
Cheers,
Bud

The Pfalz 12 has been the least popular, most underrated, best fitting and most fun yet for me!

Too hard to boil down to one. Of my builds I would have to pick the Eindecker. Iconic. Accurate. No-issue build. And, I also like the FE. I am very sorry to have missed on the Harry Tate though.

Bristol for me.

But,  unlike Hasegawa or Trumpeter, WNW keep very high standards & every one of their kits are superb.

Well Bud, I unfortunately have built only a couple of WnW kits, so to me it came down
to the Pup or the Pfalz D.IIIa.  As much as I love both as lovely little aeroplanes, I went
with the Pfalz.  You will have to run this poll again in about 30 years when I have gone
through my stash. ;) ;D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

I had to go with the LVG simply because...uhh...it's the only WNW kit I've built so far.   ::)

So, I voted for the Fokker D.VII.
I am absolutely not a very big fan of this aircraft. I do not particularly like this bird from the optical side.
 
But, the team from the WNW has worked perfectly well here in my eyes.
- Extremely well researched.
- Excellent molded in plastic (note the extremely fine tubular steel frame of the cockpit and nose section).
- All variations to built.
- Excellent Decals, inclusive of all ZAK-stamp etc..

I am a big fan of the a/c , thus my vote, but also included in that decision is your other points so perfectly stated Bertl.
