New Austrian A/C kit in production at WNW!

[Pup7309]

Only an engine to go on...could it be an Albatros D3?

[rhwinter]

That's interesting! An Alb. III would actually be very welcome (at least to me)!

[macsporran]

Looks more like an Austro-Daimler rocker cover to me, maybe an Oeffag?
.... or a Star-Strutter?

[Brad Cancian]

Definitely Austro-Daimler. Lots of possible options. An Oeffag D.III would make some sense though - none on the market in this scale, plenty of colourful marking options (I am sure Pheon would adapt their 1/48 decals to 1/32)...

It will still be another good seller in any case.

Cheers,

BC

It does look like an Austrian-Daimler six cylinder OHCS.
It has the camshaft drive at the front along with the magnetos.
Also there's no visible cooling fins on the cylinders - it has welded steel jackets.
There's also the rectangular valve access/support, which is routed around the top of the cylinders, below the valve gear.

If Wiki is to be believed:

Finally something for so many fans of A-H aviation.
I really would like to see Albatros D.III Oef - it is the last but very important bit missing in my mini-collection of aircraft flown by 7th Kosciuszko Squadron under Cedric Faunt-le-roy and Merian Cooper.

[Juan]

Would be great to see something from A-H aviation, whatever they decide is OK by me.   

[lcarroll]

   I like the potential, and the foregoing logic all points to an A-H subject! A D.III OEF would fly off the shelves in this group and would be my first choice on the wish list!
Cheers,
Lance

There’s some more to add to the list:
Albatros D. II (53 Type) — there were just a few, but wouldn’t that be a great choice for WNW to start the early Albatross range?
OEFFAG C. I
OEFFAG C. II

I'd really like to see a new 1/32 Austro-Hungarian, any one will do.

+1. Did their flying boats use the Austro Daimler?

[petero]

Did the Fokker D.VII MAG use this engine?

[Dave in Dubai]

Could this power one of Gottfried Banfield’s seaplanes?

[PrzemoL]

Did the Fokker D.VII MAG use this engine?

This just question or the answer to it may ruin all our hopes... Indeed, MAG's D.VIIs used A-D engines... 

[buzby]

Aviatik, Berg, Phonix, Oeffag – doesn’t matter – any of A-H planes are welcome.
I’m just wonder – this is first time WNW begin announcement with engine only – quite early isn’t it? Original idea or message to dreaming customers or rather to the other few producers?
