Should have mine within the next week.  Pre-ordered from Sprue Brothers who has announced the kits should be in their warehouse later this week.

The downside of ordering from Lucky Models is that mine May Not arrive until October. That being said ordering a second from Sprue Brothers Might happen

Lets see, there are 395 normal ones available and 183 ones with the bust on Sprubros. The busty one is a fair bit more expensive, but I was under the impression only 1000 would be produced as a special limited edition (although can't find the number anywhere again lol).

I just received an email from Sprue Brothers saying my Meng Dr.I pre-order has shipped.  The USPS tracking link does not show anything, but the Sprue Brothers message says that the tracking link may not show data for 24 hours.  We'll see, but it looks like this kit will be out sooner rather than later!

Best regards,

Me too!  Yes, give the tracking link a day to become active.  Just because a tracking number has been issued doesn't mean the item is physically in the hands of the shipping carrier.
SB had posted earlier this week on their Facebook page that the Dr.1s were on their way through customs in Chicago and they'd be on hand later this week.  Very exciting!

Nice!  I pre-ordered yesterday.

Got shipment notification, Sprue are usually good at shipping the day they issue tracking. Mine is set to deliver on the 19th, but that can change a day or two once its in the system

Anyone else get the one with the bust? I also pre-ordered an ordinary one from Andys.

Fingers crossed, Rick. I ordered three of them at Lucky Models' ridiculously cheap price expecting an October delivery, but checking today, I see they are in "Packing". Might be earlier than expected!

My 2 copies arrived on Friday from Sprue Brothers.   While it does not have the beautiful, authoritative instruction booklet or the Steve Anderson box art, it is the WNW kit we wanted.  The decals are not my pick of subjects, so I will be looking for more options and hope that new ones will be out soon.  The kit does have both the round and square access panels, 3 types of cowlings, 3 propellers and   2 sets of ailerons so nearly any F1/Dr.I can be made from the kit.  The big issue will the availability of decals for the aftermarket, which I expect will materialize shortly.

Highly recommended.  Now, would Wingnuts allow any of their projects and nascent research, drawings go to other companies?  (HP, Hanriot)

Seeing what the kit looks like I was going to wait for a supplier here in Canada , but I couldn't wait and I order one from Lucky Models , first time ordering through them . I opt for the EMS shipping at 3 days , it will take longer them that so we wait and see .....

I do hope in the future the molds will resurface ....I still need a Pfalz D.12 !

Seeing as people were getting their kits from Sprue Brothers and Andy's HHQ, I cancelled my order from Lucky Model and ordered one from SB and my local Hobby Shop in Tempe.   I did receive confirmation of a refund.
