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.
Well thank you very much, a Jenny (line?) is on my WNW wishlist!

My vote for a summer's In-Between-Release: Morane-Saulnier BB (they have one dramatically displayed at Omaka's).

The LSP GB prize appears that it will be a new WNW release as did their DFW a year ago.  Could it be the beginning of the killer 'BE's'?

Taube in 1/32 scale and of WnW quality. Man, of man....now that would be something!

I'm with you, Justin.

Yes, I agree but hopefully not before I build 3 or four of their imminent Camels! ;)
Cheers,
Lance

taube would be nice but which type? every manufacturer made taubes and they varied quite a bit, i have even seen some which had more of a traditional tail and ailerons instead of being a warper. i like either the a-h taube  with its exagerated upper cowl hump and flat top rear fuse with the red/white striped tail or the jeannin type like in the german technical museum.

Sir Peter has a (replica) Etrich Taube, so maybe one of them?

I guess I am kind of odd in that I appreciate the Beauty of the Taube, and the gorgeous models like Des' scratch build, but it just doesn't hit ME as a kit I really want. As I say often, Not my cup of tea, ( In my case not My Black and Tan" )  ::) I am in for Camels and we know they will arrive someday. So my speculation still goes back to finishing the Sopwith Family and Certain German fighters like the Fokker EV,and DR1. Still think a combo likely using the Camel and Something like the Early DVII, or the Much wanted DR1.

Yes a Camel and a Halberstadt would do nicely in future, but what I'd like to see now is a shift in focus towards the very earliest war years. What about the aircraft that helped precipitate the Batlle of the Marne in 1914 (and thus the ultimate failure of the Schlieffen Plan)? Or those that enabled the crushing victory at Tannenburg? Or, to move on in years, what about some of the French aircraft in the skies above the horrors of Verdun?

So many wishes, I know, and I recognise that my tiring of lozenge is almost certainly a tiny minority view, but if we are ever to achieve a truly representative collection......

Oh well. Time for my tin hat and armoured suit.

Best wishes
Nigel

I'm with you Nigel.
As someone once said, why do the bad guys always have the best uniforms?
I don't want to glorify the fellows who kept marching into other people's countries.
Here's to the men in the white hats, the good guys dressed in unostentatious PC 10 who tried, and finally did, push Kaiser Bill's armies back into their own country!
Dolphin please, then some BE 2s, FK8, Cuckoo, Buzzard, 184, Salamander. Maybe a few lozenges as targets for the good guys.
