I had this info some time back however put it in a safe place and it's now "safe" alright; it's an age thing. What is/are the Kit #s and/or Labels on the re-tooled (Good) HC Camels? I believe they were marketed as the Le Rhone or Clerget (or Bently)  versions and one was (sort of) in A. Roy Brown's markings?
Cheers,
Lance :-\

  Lance,
Glad to know I'm not the only one who could hide his own Easter Eggs my old friend. I would have to dig the kit out to give you the kit numbers.But you're correct they were marketed as the Le Rhone and the Clerget Camel's. Off the top of my head I don't recal either one beiing in Brown's markings. I believe the later reissues of the Academy Camel are in Brown's markings though.
Highest Regards,

Greg,
   Thanks, I'll keep an eye open for them. Figure if I spend big $ on one or two WNW will imediately release a kit that's 10 times better! And yes, the Easter Egg Hunt has been more fun these past few years and I occasionally find some of my "missing things" stashed with them!
Cheers,
Lance

Somewhere else here I read that the retooled Camel molds had been damaged. Can that be verified?

  Lance,
I pulled my two new tool Hobbycraft Camels this morning. Kit number HC 1694 "Clerget" Barker and Brown's markings. HC 1693 Le Rhone with MacLaren , Partridge markings. Best of luck finding these two. If I should happen to run across one or both of these kit I'll drop you a PM ASAP my friend.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

  Steve,
I've heard the same thing but couldn't verify it. Hobbycraft never answered my inquiry . I still believe poor sales played a large part in there disappearance though.

Thanks for the info Greg and do let me know if you stumble over any. I too recall seeing (somewhere here?) a comment regarding damaged molds hoever I believe it was the Academy version, not the re-tooled Hobbycraft versions.
Cheers,
Lance

The SPAD is my favorite aircraft from the First World War. I would LOVE to see Wingnut do one.

  James,
Same here my friend. So much so my late Father nicknamed me "Little SPAD" as a mere boy. The nickname stuck and I use it as a callsign on many forum. A WNW SPAD XII would be absolutely outstanding,especially in Biddle's USAS XII markings.

That is an awesome story, "Little SPAD", I mean Gregory. I would love to see a SPAD XII in Guynemer's markings myself.

WnW has openly declared the interest in (possibly) producing another twin-engined airplane... letīs hope itīs the Felixstowe F2a!  ;D
