New Austrian A/C kit in production at WNW!

[rhwinter]

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... 

So, a Fokker D.VII MAG seems probable. And why not? It were a great kit in itself and might be a start for WnW delving into k.u.k.-subjects!

On the render, the engine is 185 HP Austro Daimler
but for late Fokker D.VII MAG, you would need a 220 HP engine (some call it 225 hp)
so it can not be MAG, IMHO)

I read a lot of the types mentioned had 200 hp engines- so they might be out of the running?

Could be an Aviatik berg d1. There's one here in the technical museum in Vienna that's in pretty good nick. I'd love to see an Albatros DIII with Polish markings.

Already been done by 'HPH Models' in 1:32 scale.

^^Very nice resin offering for a lot of coin.  Just because it has been done in resin does not mean WNW will not do the same kit for a much lower price.  Many modellers (such as myself) don't even go near resin because of the price, but would jump at something done well as an injection molded kit.

The Lohner family used the AD engine. I’d like a float plane but how bout this?!

i suspect the reason they posted just the engine is twofold: 1) to let us all know they're not slowing down in spite of queuing up so many spectacular new releases, and 2) to get us doing exactly what we're doing now.

just about any A-H subject would delight me but my first choice would be an OEFFAG D.III, i'd need at least 3 (Arigi, Brumowski and Kiss).

hope it's not a Star Strutter we don't need two.

My hunch is that its tipping the nod to CSM that WNW are planning a Starstrutter as they heard they are working on one. Hence CSM now show how far they are along with their CAD.
Best solution- CSM Starstrutter and WNW Oeffag DIII. IMHO.

+1, was thinking that very thought.

[Jeff K]

correct me if i'm wrong but there aren't that many planes used the 185HP.

early OEFFAG Albatros, Lohner AA, Star Strutter, early Berg D.I....

any more?

The Starstrutter has Never been on My Radar but... If WNW and CSM release one I will buy the CSM kit just to support the Little Guys  May be Heretical for the WNW Fans but it is how I feel

same here. i'll have more than one (i have a thing about Austro Hungarian aces) but they'll all be CSM.

part of it's supporting the little guys, part of it's that these little guys are as good as WNW. on the other hand i'd wait for the WNW Lancaster over the HK Models one, because it's significantly better (the stressed skin effect in particular impresses me).

as much as i love WNW i don't feel like we modelers win if they're the only game in town, and CSM totally nailed the Nieuport 17. 

[Eric Armstrong]

CSM has shown to me that they are no worse than on par with the efforts of WNW thus far with their beautiful kits of the Nieuport 17.  BTW, their new 1/48 scale kits are really nice, too.
