To be pertinent, it is a comment on the futility of discussing and arguing about things for which no one has the answer.

Cool. If you don’t believe in spiritual concepts the answer is 0 of course. If you do = infinite (?). Or it is unknowable as suggested.

As an aside to the Wingnuts closure issue, I asked Malcolm Laird, who was Wingnuts' decal artist, whether he now planned to add a line of WW1 decals to his products at Ventura Publications, the Wellington business he runs specialising in decals and aircraft reference publications.

Malcolm's response was a no. So let's hope decal companies such as Pheon and Aviattic etc continue to feed our WW1 decal needs.

Amen, Dave. It is a shame, but with Pheon and Aviattic, continuing, we know we will get some amazing decals.

Perhaps he signed a non-compete agreement with WNW?

If so, it'll run out at some point.

Perhaps he's just p**sed off about the way things went at wingnutwings. I can't blame him.

I’d like to extend my thanks to Dave for his reportage, it’s a window into a puzzling turn of events. Ever since I started buying WnW kits I’ve been amazed at “the whole package” from the box to the plastic to the decals and especially to the instructions. It’s a shame there’s trouble and I particularly feel for those who have lost their jobs. But as the above poster recounted, I am so happy they were here and that I’ve been able to collect quite a few for my stash.
