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  :-*

yeah you've been yearning for this one forever, every speculation you asked please... wish granted. congrats to all the Dreidecker dreamers, photos look authentic.

i'm lukewarm on it since there's the Roden one (i won't be selling off my Roden boxing). i was hoping for something that hadn't been kitted by anyone but i seeing as the Gotha G.I exists (now), i'll shut up about that. 

but i'll build more Triplanes than expected (and buy at least 3 of this boxing, maybe as many as 8 more).  i was already headed that way, whoever came in second place on ebay for the Cutting Edge Red Baron's Tripes decal sheet (CED32066) has gotta be crying himself to sleep right about now. the Rittmeister will have his choice of rides...

It’s not a joke, I touched it, right after I walked by it thinking it was a Roden model.
well that's pretty convincing then. it's on!

Cool news for those who wanted one and waited patiently. I'll probably sit this one out and build from the stash, but the sales will finance other quirkier kits that I'm happy to wait for.  8)

Whoa, now that is cool !! ...WNW doing a Dr.I
 
And Model Cellar has the ultimate 1/32 Voss figure to compliment it.  Sculpted by Mike Good, the pose, the anatomy, the proportions AND the likeness is spot on:

https://modelcellar.com/shop/time-period/wwi/werner-voss-3/
 
We issued Voss in 2007 - that was LONG before WNW was even around.  Our Voss figure was actually designed to go with the "BRAND NEW" (at the time) Roden kit.  Roden was emerging on the 1/32 WWI scene and at Mike's urging, we set off doing 1/32 WWI pilots.  Of course when they issued the kit with Manfred's markings, we soon followed with Manny & Moritz:

And, if they issue Lothar's markings, we have a Lothar figure too =).  In the years gone by we have made quite a few WWI 1/32 personalities:  von Schleich, Bishop, Immelman, Boelcke, Lufbery, Baracca, etc all sculpted by Mike Good with spot on likenesses.

Now here we are TWELVE years later and we've come full circle.

I wasn't much interested in the Dr.1 until I saw this.  The detail is excellent.  I'm just a sucker for good plastic.
Too bad we will have to wait until next year.

Terri

Hello Terri, I only saw the word "late" in reference to the two versions of the kit. When WNW says "2020" I'm hoping they mean January 2nd. ;)
