Although I tend to agree with keith about sooner than later on the next release, I would like to see a Dolphin, and a strutter! Used by 19 and 43 squadron respectively and would fit my collection nicely

I would appreciate WnW going on to produce and offer decals seperately, like they did for the Albatros DV (a) and the Pfalz DIII! I could imagife, for example, some interesting "White" Snipes from the Russian Civil War... And many more, for sure!

All-
I am confused.
Wingnut are releasing a Sopwith Triplane, and a DH2 pusher even though Roden have recently produced 1/32 models of both Aircraft. And,yet they have no plans for a Sopwith Camel because "Hobbycraft Canada make a pretty goood example"? Hobbycraft's response to my inquiries about availability told me that their tooling had been damaged. Their kit is out of production.
In this conflict, there were in excess of 14,000 Camels produced, which downed more enemy aircraft than any other plane. It was flown by at least ten air forces during the "Great War"and was responsible for more enemy arcraft destroyed than any other design.
About, what, one hundred and twenty odd Sopwith tripehounds were thrown into the melee for a brief interval. They were a great design and, at once, a costly maintenance nightmare.
Manufacturers, someone please reconsider, A worthy example of the Camel in all its forms is shockingly absent in 1/32nd scale.
Can any one think of WW11 without a model of the Spitfire ot Mustang?
Respectfully.

I believe that WNW had started work on their SE5a, DH2 and Sopwith Triplane prior to Roden announcing theirs - could be wrong but that sort of makes sense.

[Edo]

maybe they started firs but the marketing date is way overdue!
I mean: all this waiting, which once was anticipation, is now turning to frustration...

WNW, do your homework! Don't be lazy! Give us something to chew!

I have always been fond of the Halberstadt CL.II like the old Aurora model kit I built in the 60's. It was the first true ground attack scout plane. Both the pilot and gunner were in the same oval cockpit tub thus allowing for better communication between them.

[michael]

what about if they made a kit of a plane without the linen covering, like a sort of skeleton.

or a bigger model of a engine say about 1/16 size

cheers

Academy's Camel in 1/32, when allied to PART of Polands PE set, will produce a very good model of a Sopwith Camel for less than £30.

[pepperman42]

Speaking of the Academy Camel - I know its the Hobbycraft kit but Im just wondering if its the original release or the updated one wit the better wings etc.

  Steve,
The Academy Camel is the exact same kit as the original Hobbycraft. Starved cow wing ribs and all,but nothing that can't be fixed with much extra effort and a little TLC.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

[pepperman42]

Hmmm. Im going to stick to the newer improved HC kit even though the Academy goes cheap around here.

[GAJouette]

  Steve,
Wise move my friend the two new tool Hobbycraft Camels are a major improvement over the original. Both are OOP right now though but they do show up on E-bay on occasion. You never know maybe just maybe H/C will reissues them again if the demand is high enough.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

PS: I don't know if you've seen this ongoing project or not .But you can see what can be done with the original H/C Camel.
