Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[boggie]

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

Hi Big Mike 

No need for a poll.

The answer is really quite simple .

I want em all!   Mwaahahaha 

[Pgtaylorart]

 But, please, give me a little model to work on and I promise to be quiet.

Cheers from NYC, Steam Town USA (but it beats the hell outta snow!)

A poll would be interesting and fun to see what we all are hoping for, but this thread pretty much sums up what our collective interests are.

Michael, as far as having a little model to work on, I know many of us here have a big enough stash that we'll be lucky to get through them before senility sets in and our motor skills go!   (and I know nothing is gonna keep the Michael I know quiet! But that's why we love you! )

Ok, Michael, here's mine, with some agreement with your list:

1) BE.2c, e
2) Freidrichshafen FF.33
3) Nieuport 11
4) SSW D.III
5) Vickers SB.5 Gunbus

And as David Letterman used to say "We've polled the studio audience, and we all know how much that hurts!"

Here are my five "wishes" ....................

1) Fokker F.1 or Dr.1

3) Albatros W.4, or D.I, D.II, D.III
4) Sablatnik SF2
5) Gotha WD 14 Topedobomber

But first please a Halberstadt CL.II or/and a CL.IV 

[James]

My five:

Friedrichshafen G.III
Farman - Longhorn and/or Shorthorn
Hanriot Hd1
Voisin - Any Version
Albatros D.I & D.III

[Pgtaylorart]

And BTW, George, if your stash is getting too big, you can always remember the needy......I'll be 62 1/2 on August 22 and I guess Prze is not going to send me the AEG he doesn't want to build.

I got some of those kits from you. Now you want them back?!

[jamieg]

My choices would be;
1. Aviatik Berg D.I
2. Hansa-Brandenberg D.I
3. Oeffag Albatros D.III (53,153 and 253)
4. Lohner flying boat
5. Hanriot HD.1
6. Pfalz D.VIII
7. Foker D.I, II or V
8. Phonix D.I/II
9. SSW D.IV
10. whatever they want to give(sell) me

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,

Correct you are the only "poll" that counts is that of Sir PJ.

The look at your generous wishlists makes me hope WNW will start producing kits in my scale too. 

[bobs_buckles]

1. Fokker Dr. I
2. A Full set of Nieuports
3. A full set of Albatri
4. A full set of teeth
5. A full set of functioning hair follicles

Rick is quite correct in what he has said. The poll we had drew a lot of response and was compiled a very comprehensive list of aircraft types 'wished' for by our members, I sent the list to Richard over at Wingnuts and his respnse was a wry - "interesting' -  Rick hit the nail on the head, Wingnuts are not one bit interested in polls or what modelers want, they will do whatever they want, whenever they want and how they want, we have to remember that the Wingnuts 'factory' is Sir Peter Jacksons own personal little hobby shop so he will stock it with what HE wants.

I think Wingnuts are interested in most-wanted polls but what influence- if any- these polls have on subject selection is unknown. We know they were initially not doing a Camel then after much lobbying they announced a Camel is being developed, so customer feedback can be persuasive.

My concerns for the next releases are that they return to more affordable kits ( single seaters) and be mindful that the poorly performing Aussie/ Kiwi/ Canadian dollar ( among other currencies) will greatly influence buying decisions. This would not be a good time for Wingnuts to nudge its prices up. I'd buy at least two Camels but if the price/ exchange rate is too high I would only buy one, if that. A poor exchange rate means customers become fussier over what they buy or can afford.

Bo, the Roland D.II is an example of a plane with which I was not familiar. Was the fuselage created as the one for the Walfisch was done?

If I understand your q to read "are they the same fuselage?" : no, but they employed nearly identical construction techniques...
