Michael, you started some very good discussion on this and the the other thread where you originally posed your question. We all have different views and opinions, but it has been a good discussion. Thanks for getting the ball rolling.

this is in response to the hope for a wright flyer. whereas it would be neat to have a good quality kit of this craft i dont think wnw will make one. they only do ww1. the wright flyer is 11 years before ww1 so i seriously doubt that would be in the cards. there were actually quite a few wright designs that continued to be refined for some years but they wright were stuck more on trying to legally tie the hands of glenn curtiss with copyright infringements more than trying to improve their technology in a substantial way. therefore they whithered on the vine and ultimately failed as aircraft manufacturers. i have some plans for a few of the wright craft i think a model a and b maybe a military flyer, obtined from ww1 aero.

I love all you guys (and the girl) on this forum. But I gotta keep plugging on this JN-4 Canuck before WNW releases their kit of it.I've got to learn how to post pictures of the progress of the build. And the other stuff too; scratch-built Albatross W-4 and the Curtiss A-1 trident all 1/32 scale. However, I think Des did a better job on his ,though, I built mine in 2011 for the 100th anniversary of U.S. Aviation for a contest at Fort Worden, Washington state.

albatros1234, thank you very much. I'm pretty sure my model skills are not on the same level as others on this forum. But, I gotta tell you, I'm sure having fun! God is great, bourbon is good and I highly recommend retirement to anyone who can afford it.

Pietro, like the others, I would love to see your work. Also remember we are usually our own worst critics. All are welcomed to share and will receive positive feedback! Now back to speculation. I still think the Dolphin and Strutter will eventually appear. I also would Love to see the WNW treatment on a Fokker DVIII!  A SPAD XIII and SPAD XI would be nice also.

A BE.2 would be nice! Must be a good chance as TVAL has one, don't they?
Though it has been some time since Wingnutter Command released a single seater. The most recent new type being the Snipe
in June 13 I think. Perhaps there is hope yet for our Noop and Hanriot enthusiasts.  ;D
Which is me too.  :)

Michael, you just never know, Wingnuts are renowned for dropping surprises on us.

Boggie, I think the next single seater will be the Sopwith Camel, it has ben a much anticipated kit for many years, there could also be a surprise to go with it.

But a BE.2 would be the cherry on the cake  :) :)

Hi Des. I am a Camel fan and would like it to be released next. But as you say, the BE as the surprise would be great.  Elegant, fragile and charismatic all at the same time.
To me the epitomy of the early warplane that really wasn't, but did it anyway. Gotta be happy with a couple of those!  :)

They've restored an F and built two Es, two Cs and a BE.12 so they definitely have the reference material!

Though it has been some time since Wingnutter Command released a single seater. (...) Perhaps there is hope yet for our Noop and Hanriot enthusiasts.

TVAL has an airworthy, original HD.1 and a handful of Nieuport replicas, too...

Hi Zac. Many thanks for the info. Hope it's not too long before the next unveiling.  :)
