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!  :)
Well put, boggie, albeit a sort of homely elegance, the old bird did have a charisma rivaling, say, the RE8. Would be a major addition to WnW's catalogue. I still gotta fancy the idea of a BE12 as well... sporting a top winged Lewis.

 How about a Breguet 14a and 14B. While I thinking of if I'd love to see a Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter as well

I will join the chorus for the BE.2 which would be a great addition,
although my first wish will be the Hanriot HD1 which would please
me to no end. ;)

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Let me add my weight to the BE series band wagon.  I would buy every variant that WNW would release.  Same goes for the Strutter.
Cheers,
Bud

Well, I would be in for a BE12 for my 19 squadron collection and of course I HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED THE sTRUTTER... AS USED BY 43 SQUADRON.

Today it's five months since WNW have unleashed their last releases so far, the AEG bombers. I will not add to this wishing-thread, but simply express my hope that they're NOT working on a Handley Page O/400 or any Riesenflugzeug.

  Bob and Michael,
I'd imagine that with the all time popularity of the Fokker Dr.I at some point WNW will issues a Tripe. Likely the question isn't if but rather when. Just my .2 cents gross before tax(s).

   I have been haunting their Website hoping for a total surprise release before the Camel, a "Strutter" would be a grand occasion for sure and a DR.1 a very welcome addition to their line. Then again a re-release of a few I missed out on..............like a Duelist Harry Tate/Albie D.I or D.II! (something old and something new ???)
Cheers,
Lance

Oh maaan...an RE8/Albie D2 duet would be delightful, wouldn't it. Finish the entire canon of Albatros fighters.....highly doubtful though, I should think.

Oops, sorry...all well and good except they haven't done a D3 so ignore the canon bit.

Two thoughts, gang.......Has anyone actually done a survey of what our wants are? A poll?

Secondly, I grew up with a dad who was a real WWI aero buff but it is now obvious that my knowledge of WWI was limited to the Leach prints he had on the walls of his study and the kits released in 1/48 by Aurora, and the 1/72 kits of Airfix and Revell. Ergo, just looking up info on the planes many of you are hoping for has proven a real education for me and expanded my awareness greatly.

Thank you and keep 'em coming.

We did a Poll a couple or three years ago. Also a "Supposed" WNW inspired poll was done on the WNW fans Facebook page was done last year. The end result, as I am sure Des will reaffirm, is that WNW has their own agenda and Polls/our wants seem to be of little interest to their release program. JMHO,
