Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[lcarroll]

   A "17" would be a pleasant surprise as well, keep that thought!

 I'm still hoping for a SPAD XIII.But I wouldn't  turn away from a Nieuport either.

i'm going to go out on a limb here...

in response to a recent poll, in which the Nieuport 17 took a distant second to the SPAD XIII, Richard Alexander, as usual, said something to the effect WNW don't want to make a kit that someone else made an acceptable kit of (and no, let's not go down the 'acceptable kit' path again)...

but he also said that like the Camel, the Nieuport 17 could use a 21st century tooling.

so here's the limb: i'm going to speculate that it's already been in the works for a while, and could be this year's Christmas surprise.

Since my last birthday even I could use a 21st century retooling...

  Hey I just applied for Medicare today  Talk about needing a Modern Retooling! But I have to say that I would certainly buy Nieuport 17,23,24,27 types as well as SPADS!

i'd buy more than a dozen each of Nieuports and/or SPADs (i suppose a SPAD XII is too much to hope for)... i'd "only" buy 6 DR.1s...

Dolphin, at least 2.

so i'm kinda hoping i'm wrong about the Nieuport for Crimbo, and they release something i only need one of... i only just started buying WNW (only just restarted modeling, bit of a gap from age 13 to now)... i want to catch up before something like that drops.

PS it's not a midlife crisis... it's a 21st century retooling.

Jeff, I couldn't agree more!

Very well stated!

A brand new state of the art 1:32 scale Nieuport 17 is closer than you think

Des, do you know something we ordinary mortals do not?

A new N17 would be fantastic and it seems like it could be a big seller. Been pretty quiet on the WNW front for quite some time - sure they released the Taube but we have known about it for it seems like forever. Hoping for a late year new release from them - ideally a single seater like the N17....

    ..... and such is hope born! My poor "Stash Account"!

if you're right

a) i'm glad i didn't load up on Academy kits and resin parts for them,
b) i'm already working on my list of markings to nag Rowan Broadbent about,
and
c) there goes any plans i had of having cash in my pocket in the foreseeable future.

Wow, that would be the only single-seater which would attract me.

If not, I would still call for Friedrichshafen FF33

Talking about all those Le Rhone/Oberursel engines now available at Wingnut Wings: Wasn't the Hanriot HD.1 powered by such a powerplant, too? Although a Nieuport 17 would be the historically more important plane,  I would prefer to see a Hanriot kitted by WnW (and imagine all the colourful decals, Pheon's Rowan would provide us with ...) - But let's come down to reality again: The Nieuport as well as the Hanriot are FRENCH! So I guess a Christmas surprise might be the suggested Fokker D.VIII... T
