Dekenba, you are right - WNW do not need to sell them.

But i think it would be nice to have some more figures to choose from for the ones so inclined. I think it is a bit boring to see a smallish amount of the same figures accompanying models of airplanes, again and again (like Mike Grant's Werner Voss figure. it is really impressive, but is shown time and again as "someone else" with totally different aircraft, no matter that this figure really looks like Voss, if pinted properly).

WNW, please press on.

Maybe WNW will supply them pre-painted?

With the latest 3-d printing techniques it may be possible to mass produce them to a photo-realistic standard.

If they look like the figures on the website then they would be doubtless very popular.
Hand- painting the figures to look realistic is difficult and can detract from an otherwise well built model.

I guess we will just have to wait and see what they produce?
