Ivo, just to clarify: WNW doesn't have a proxy doing build logs here, there are just a lot of modellers doing WNW kit build logs, which speaks for itself as to WNW kits popularity, and  buildability.

I'd guess that the percentage of WNW builds on this here forum is probably higher than most anywhere else - it would be pretty pointless, from a marketing perspective, for WNW to invest here.

We are a victim of our own success!

Ok, I just interpreted the words they seem to have several buildlogs in such way. Bo already explained his different interpretation. And agreed: there are much building activities with WNW kits going on, so why would they?

I see it the other way around: from the quality of WNW kits and the apparant dedication to the subject from the WNW staff, their excellent after sales (which I already experienced as anonymus modeller) I am sure that they visit this forum frequently for purposes of getting feed back for free, opportunities to even improve on their outstanding work and getting ideas for future projects. In this respect I do believe that wishlists have some influence  ;)

regards,
Ivo

You are exactly right Dekenba, Wingnuts have said that they are targeting website and forums where WW1 model aircraft are not so prolifick, they (Wingnuts) are trying to lure other model builders over to WW1 aircraft. There is a lot of sense in what they are trying to do, but they have a battle on their hands, it will take a lot of convincing to get a die hard AFV builder or a vehicle builder to have a go at WW1 bi-planes, it's the rigging that scares most people off even trying a bi-plane. I wish Wingnuts all the luck in the world because the more people who buy and build their kits means more new kits in the pipeline for us.

Wingnuts not only keeps a close watch on this forum but many other forums as well, they gather as much information as possible and will use this feedback in planning future ket development and  releases. This is an excellent way to get customer feedback without having to sift through mountains of emails, they are not only getting the customers thoughts on each kit, the way the kit goes together, any problems encountered during the build, customers wish lists but also just general conversation between modelers talking about the different Wingnut kits, all this is invaluable information.

I think Des should add a "Not endorsed by WNW" sign somewhere!

I am disappointed that WNW doesn't support this forum BUT, I am grateful for all they have put out AND for this excellent forum!

If it weren't for both WNW wonderfully engineered kits and Des's excellent build logs, I doubt very much I would have ever attempted to build a WW1 suspect. As much as I have always admired early aircraft, the double wings and rigging always seemed to scary too attempt. Thanks to Des and WNW I am now happily stuck on WW1 and doubt I will ever leave!

Thank you Des for this excellent site and WNW for your excellent kits!

p.s. if WNW is reading, a Junkers D.I would be a GREAT kit for those testing the early aircraft waters. Single wing and no rigging. Just sayin  ;)

I do not support this request as is... but
They should put out TWO distinct kits of the Junkers D1 - short and long fuselage...
