Folks, we have established the fact that the excitement over a possible return of a Wingnuts kit is in fact just a Facebook promotion of a tooling company's capabilities.

Frankly I think it's time to let this one go and now move on.

There is something fundamentally amiss with a society which forces it's modelers to work for a living.

Well in the next years 100 of us can put 500 $ each to crowd fund a new WNW-like model, same quality and be read to bear high criticism since it won't be truly a WNW

Eh ?
Where is that established? I don’t want or need a Taube and I’m not fussed either way, but isn’t this a ww1 modelling forum? I thought this was our bread and butter?

Some people are dismissive of this kit as it hasn’t got the cache of later fighters etc. But for me this is one of the most interesting and impressive models I’ve seen. Just my opinion. I’m a bit surprised at EBay prices for this and other kits that will potentially be released for sale again, however.

I have it on my short list of 3 or so kits from WNW that is a "must have" or "must build".

It's stunning in the flesh.  Looks like a bird!  Or a Da Vinci flying creation!

To me it's another one of the vanity projects that was never going to repay tooling costs. Wish they'd made a SPAD XIII instead, maybe they'd still be around. Still, our friends at Roden are not going to make that mistake are they?

JMHO, but I think a lot of us would rather look to CSM, Roden, etc. than worry about the possibility/maybe/ who knows re release of a former WNW kit. Not meaning any insult to your interest at all. I know you are a HUGE FAN of WNW. I greatly appreciated and loved the work of the WNW team but am moving on.
