Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[lcarroll]

"We are becoming spoiled for choice gentlemen!"

   I couldn't agree more Dave. I just browsed through my Windsock for the Spring of 2009 when it's cover read "4 Stunning new 1:32 Kits from Wingnut Wings"
   Think for a moment about the choice you had in 1:32 Scale until then folks, ......... and don't worry, just be happy!
Cheers,

I'm still holding out hope for a Friedrichshafen G.III to complete the trio of German bombers.

No Zeppelin Staaken?   Although you’d need a second mortgage to afford one.

A Zeppelin Staaken would be cool, and I would love one. Yep, I would need a second mortgage as well. However, a Friedrichshafen G.III would complete the trio of German bombers that were used quite a bit.

they've got to do a DH.4 and a Be2. as far as i know these have never been kitted in 1/32, not even crudely. and they were both numerous and important.

Now here is an interesting thought. What about a thread somewhere of Historically or structurally significant aircraft that were used operationally, even if the numbers produced were small, but have not been kitted in 1/32nd scale. Might narrow down the speculation to a few hundred

  Ok, Rick.. a very good idea...so how about a thread right here...it's still WnW wishin' and hopin' ...a machine of which only 526 ( not a huge amount) were produced and I don't think there's a 1/32 issue of it (is there?) and that's an Oeffag Albatros DIII...pretty structurally significant in that Oeffag strengthened the lower wing ridding the V-strutter of its infamous wing failures....and think of the color schemes they sported. I'd get one, you bet.

A great choice but it actually was done,(POORLY), by Battle Axe  That being said so was the Fokker EIII which WNW did choose to do.  Not in production for a very long time so I say it should count  Some additions of Mine:
Sopwith 1 1/2 strutter
Sopwith Baby
Sopwith Tabloid
Bregeut 14
SPAD XII
BE12
Roland DII
Halberstadt DII and DIII
Albatros CIII, and the remaining Albatros C series
I am sure I will think of MORE!

for the OEFFAG D.III, if WNW doesn't get to it before i'm ready, i'll convert a Roden D.III and use a Copper State engine. i nearly pulled the trigger on the Battle Axe kit on ebay... then i read about it.

should they release a beast like the Zeppelin Staaken (or my fav, the Ilya Mouromets)... it is worth noting that there is substantial scientific evidence that prolonged fasting is really, really good for one's health.

With the addition of the DH4 and BE2 C and E, I’m going with your list...I’d be covered for 20 years at my build rate. With the Tabloid you’d have a Schneider with not much difficulty.

Good choices, Rick.

I would love to see a 1.5 Strutter. Quite a bit of options, would make it easy for WnW to do a limited run and then release the various other options (comic fighter, French version, etc.).

I'd also love to see more Pre-1916 stuff. Maybe a Voisin III or an early BE2.


But most of all, I hope they rerelease the Sopwith pup and RE8.


oh please please please, Peter Jackson. I'll even watch parts 2 and 3 of your lame Hobbit movie.

I can't see the WNW line-up without an Albatros scout for long, so here's suggesting a forthcoming release might be a Duellist offering with the RE 8: hopefully one where the disadvantaged good guys come out on top and the f**ker with the black crosses bites the dust.
Maybe Sharples and O`Callaghan shooting down Dostler? (I think that was an Alb?)

that would be a worthy duelist pairing... however i'd slightly prefer the Re.8 get reincarnated with Pithey and Rhodes shooting down a Pfalz. i also cling to the dream that they'll drop a Gotha and a Pup in a box and call 'em duellists.

SE.5a + DR.1 Duelist makes sense to me. Both being involved in one of the greatest aerial dogfights of any war.

Make it happen, Sir Peter! You know it makes sense

[Jeff K]

The way to do it : F.1 separate bowing with markings from all the vast number of F.1s, bring back the Hisso in a 56th squadron 3 pack,and a duelists edition with a red Dr.1, and a doghouse.

The last flight of Werner Voss.  I have it hanging on my wall in lithograph form.  Would it not make for a great triple release with a Fokker F.1 and two (2) Se.5a's featuring markings of James McCudden and Arthur Rys Davids.

[bobs_buckles]

It would indeed. I can only dream of the F.1 / DR.1 / SE5.a groupie. Dreaming is about as real as it gets
