All these guesses are great (except for the ones which suggest WW2 subjects >:( )
It could well be the DH.4, though I'd be surprised if that was produced as any other than a multi-kit project. At least two, for Eagle and Liberty powered types. In fact the Eagle was developed considerably during the war; though I don't know how much visible difference there was between early and late engines. And the DH.4 was fitted with many other engines at different times, Puma, RAF etc.

But the American DH.4 sounds like a good suggestion for this particular show.
If not the DH.4, maybe the SPAD XIII?

Now I'll offer my usual futile vote for a SPAD XII, or SSW D.IV, or something - anything - Austro-Hungarian...

OK, so a little more serious answer here. with the release of the Gotha G1 and float version I feel safe to say that No One can have a clue as to What Sir Peter wants and WNW makes  :D

I am definitely sure this time: It will be a Bf-109.

Exactly what I was thinking too.  :)
I have to think the folks at WNW get a good chuckle over the flurry of speculations that take place every time they announce a new kit coming.

Friedrichshafen G.III. That would complete the German bomber trio.

If it was the FE8 it would be great, the theory of carefully watching the boxes of models already released would be checked.
In general, I would prefer it to be a pusher. Besides, it seems to me that this time it will not be as big as Gothas or 0/400 - now it's time for something smaller - at most a two-seater, but something unexpected (!?) like SPAD XI / XVI,
Pure wishful thinking

And Borsos... that 109 is shot down in flames immediately! One-and-a-half-Strutter for me...

Not that it matters, but I would really like to see any BE or Strutter.

Another vote for the FE8. Terri and Buzby - I expect, like me, you saw it there in the background of the new Gotha G.1 box art.
