Wow...don't believe it....maybe the  very LAST machine I would have expected from those guys...the beat goes on with their ability to astound....suppose we'll need to form a support group for Bob Booth...he's likely to be very, very depressed ( more LOL-ing).

Agreed about the fun of fooling the crap out of us although way back when WNW gave an Obereusel option in their Lherone Engine I felt that they would do a German aircraft like the DR1 or EV/DVIII! More photos have shown up of the Mock ups again from the same source:

Excellent!!! WIth this announcement and the O/100 following I am not worried about my finances and I can quietly focus on lowering my stash of unbuilt models. Not my game at all! 😁

I'm a happy bunny!

I've been banging on about a WNW Fok.DR1 for more years than I care to forget.

My dreams have come true. Thank you WNW  :-*

Love the choice or hate it, the prospect of minimal rigging, along with the availability of Aviattic Streaked Camouflage decals, is likely to make this a seller. . .

It’s not a joke, I touched it, right after I walked by it thinking it was a Roden model.
