   I've been considering a Comic conversion project for some time and came very close to starting to chop plastic on a Clerget Kit last week. I'm glad I decided to go with a Halberstadt Build in lieu, maybe a small delay is prudent after all ......... Jeff's odds are increasing with every wrong guess! :o

i think y'd want a Le Rhone for that.

if i'm right for the first time EVER, just wait. if not, chop up a le Rhone camel.

Jeff,
   Yep, engine will be After Market or a spare sprue from WNW. Do you have a reference source that includes a clear statement on the engine types, I have had no luck finding one.

Lance

Wouldn't surprise me at all if it was a Nieuport.  But a Camel Comic would be my guess (and my hope).

A Nieuport? Don’t go there  ::)
How about a Hanriot HD2?

Hanriot HD.1 makes the obvious sense. I hope that sense is realised.

i'm meticulously avoiding making that prediction because

a) if i predict this right, it would be the first time ever.

b) i really want an HD.1, so in light of a)....

Any excitement for the Wingnut Hansa-Brandenburg D1?  Not sure if it's up my alley but it is a unique ride....

As for Me I am excited about the Copper State HBD1  8) Plenty of other pending WNW kits to be excited about though!

+1. just wish WNW or CSM (they're equals in my book) would drop an OEFFAG Albatros. c'mon guys. you BOTH got the engine and CSM already even have the PILOT...

I'm hoping for a Hanriot - a Coppens + figure would make a nice start...

And i really, really really don't understand why a Viper SE5.a hasn't appeared. One with a Mannock figure would surely be a favourite.

One other 'popular' kit would be an Albatros DIII - the Roden kit is okay but the WNW kits have moved things on considerably...

The othe one I'd put a few shiny coins on appearing in the nexy 18 months is a DH.4
