Wanted: WNW Albatros D.V/ Fokker D.VII
« on: March 01, 2023, 07:17:14 AM »
Sorry for lots of posts but a last appeal. Having trawled everywhere, a request to get these kits…

Happy to pay over the odds to a degree. Some crazy prices on eBay! I’d be happy to listen to any offers though.

I reckon these two would complete my new Wingnut’s ‘fleet’ to some extent.

I’d love others but am realistic enough to know it’s probably too late.

On my realistically unlikely, but desired list is:

Pfalz D.IIIa
Pfalz D.XII
Roland D.VI
SE5a
Sopwith Triplane

I realise it’s all a long shot, but if you don’t ask you don’t get, right?

Thanks for your patience,

Guy

Dear Guy,
if you check at Scalemates you will find an offer from a mate (from England), for the first 3 with prices of 140-150 pounds.

Hi Spyros,

Thank you so much, I’ve sent them a pm. Fingers crossed.

Hey Guy
Not sure how recent these WNWs on Scalemates are - I sent him an enquiry on one of his kits re shipping costs etc some time back, but have had no reply.

I have all the kits on your list.  The alb’s, and Pfalz III’s in multiples. I am not currently selling any of these but you never know what the future may hold.  Motorcycle season is coming and who knows what might catch my eye. The Sopwith Triplane and SE5a, would likely never be sold, unless we are talking about beyond stupid eBay prices.  The other 60 kits will likely be put up for sale at some point. So feel free to keep my name handy, as you said never hurts to ask.

Thanks Ron,

I’m drooling at the thought of 60 kits!  ;D

I’m doing quite well so far in building up a stash, but I REALLY want…

Pfalz D.III
Pfalz D.XII
SE5a (obviously)
Sopwith Triplane
Sopwith Snipe
AMC DH.2
FE.2b
Fokker D.VII
Roland D.VI

Any boxings… quite happy to pay a premium (to a degree!)

Thanks

Guy
