We have seen a few pop up at Modelblau, but if, where and when kits will come up for sale we don’t know. Are there hundreds or thousands left? Who knows!

huh very cool that AndysHQ are not going to double the prices on them. Wonder when they will be available to purchase though not really sure I need to pad the stash any more. I guess at worst they are unlikely to go down in value so if not built long term they would be fine to resell down the line.

Do they ship to Europe ? I had a quick look at the website but I couldn't find anything.

The FB add said the inventory was on the way, no pre orders or holding kits. I have not used them before so I have no idea about their shipping.

It looks like what a lot of us have been waiting for is about to happen. I.E., the warehouse in NZ opening up with a liquidation of the inventory via a handful of chosen retailers around the world. It looks like the WNW web store will never re-open, but who knows.

Have a look at Modellbau Koenig in Germany. They have a bunch of new WNW kits along with a little message saying "When they're gone, they're gone forever" or something like this. Good prices too.

Interesting that nothing is happening at Sprue Brothers, but that might change any moment now.

Still nothing at Andy's Hobby Headquarters, but that looks like it's going to change soon.

I'd like to see a pop-up of the armament and engine sprues from NZ...
let's hope the situation is going for better.
This night I had a dream... the WNW H.P. 0/400 available in small quantities on the web...
I put it in the basket, checked out but it was no longer available.. a nightmare

A similar experience yesterday fighting for the last Felixstowe at MBK....

MBK worked out REALLY well for me, they had exactly what i was missing. the free shipping on big orders is a nice touch.

i've not ordered from Andy's HQ but they have a high rep among people i know who have.

So about 50 Gotha GIV’s worth?!

I saw a Facebook post reporting Andy's in the USA was only shipping to CONUS addresses. If correct that means no shipping to Europe or Australia etc.

Good news for our American members but probably not for the rest of us.

Indeed, I send him an email and he confirmed that he was not going to ship to the EU

I suppose if you live outside those areas and you have trusted friends who do live there, it would be possible to obtain the kits by proxy.

I can also imagine some stash-swapping going on, especially with more local modellers where postage costs would then be minimal. For example I have 2 of the WNW RNAS Pup - bought just before they sold out - so in theory I would consider swapping one box for a similar value kit which I don’t have.

There’s plenty of unbuilt WNW kits around which don’t necessarily need to be traded for silly money. Yes there will be some people for whom needs must - and this could indeed happen to me - but my point is there will be plenty of kits around..

Me: ‘Damn!’ My wallet: ‘Phew!’
I wish the NZ warehouse would open even if we had to pay for DHL or equivalent post,

But.... if you still want a Gotha G.I or UWD, Hannants is still showing more than 20 of each.
