Considering the Big Ack has been overlooked in 1/48 and I did the 1/72 Roseplane vac years ago, I would welcome a 1/32 great Big Ack!

WNW website now shows CAD images of the F.1 Camel, "now in development." Not new news, but makes me wonder if an F.2 naval camel is coming with it? My Datafile shows some pretty cool paint schemes for the F.2 Camel.

I'm afraid that the Sopwith Camel does not interest me but bring on a BE.2, now that would be an awesome kit  :) :)

The BE.2 is SURELY a no-brainer given how many TVAL have built and restored. I want two!

Yes, I'll take a BE2c and a BE2e, if they do both.

But I'll admit, I'll take a Camel too.

I remember John Adams of Aeroclub telling me that his BE2 models were a no-brainer decision for him to kit in 1/48 as he had already created the moulds for his RE8 and FE2b models. Evidently the wings of the BE2c were used again on the FE2b and the wings of the BE2e were used again on the RE8.
Seems that WNW must be part way there already?

How about a BE 12?            -M

The BE series is the only type of which I would buy multiples in 1/32 scale.  So, I'll take a BE2, a BE2c, a BE2e and a BE12.  I'll make room somehow.
Cheers,
Bud

Adding a room to house them will cut into your model time (LOL)... you are truly committed to the dark side now

I was thinking, with the RNAS Pup sold out, it would be cool to see it in a Duelist boxing with the Gotha. After all, RNAS Pups did come up in the first few Gotha raids on England. I doubt Wingnut would do this Duelist boxing, but it would be sweet. What do y'all think?

Camel or BE2, yes that would be fine...................but better a Fokker F.1/Dr.1



But,.............................. I hope Wingnut Wings play's something a little bit more in the field of twin engine planes.
A Gotha WD 14 would be cool ............ incl. torpedo  8)

I must confess, I love seaplanes  ::)

I like it.  The Gotha is about due to go OOP.  Re-issue it with a Pup or even an Se.5 in night livery.  Give the  Gotha some hex decals, too.

JTB McCudden flew a Pup against Gothas that he said he had painted light blue on the undersides with a lewis mounted on the top wing IIRC? That would certainly be cool  8)

Same here, well an E or an F. For BE.12 fans WNW, again, have a full-scale reference not far up the road:

I can tell you all, with complete assurance, the next WNW release will be the Curtiss JN-4 Canuck. Why? Because I've just started scratch-building one! I hope to have it ready for the show in McMinnville, Oregon this September.
