Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[coyotemagic]

I like Bo's choices, but have to agree with my amigo, Rick, for all the reasons he stated.  Also, the Strutter offers so many options.  I also believe any of the BE's are strong contenders.  All that aside, I think I'll have to put my money on RWinters' choices.  He always seems to get everything he wishes for.  He wished for the Hannover and the Roland C.II and got 'em.  Pretty good track record, I'd say.
Cheers,

Have to agree that the Sopwith Strutter is a very good possibility. That should've been on my list. Fits the bill on every count.

A Dolphin wouldn't surprise me too much, but I'll go on record betting against the Fokker E.V/D.VIII -- so far the WNW catalog emphasizes types that were really used on the WF; the D.VIII barely gets an asterisk on that score. Actually I think the earlier D.II and/or D.III are more likely.

It's fun to blindly speculate

Hahaha, Bud, I never thought of my luck until I read your post! (Although I was more than happy when WnW released the Hannover and the Roland C.II!) There are so many more Great War's planes, I'd love to see produced by WnW or in WnW's quality, many of them were mentioned in the postings above, and many more I can fancy, especially from the "other" fronts - Russian, Italian Austro-Hungarian... (just dreaming..)
But - no matter what - I am looking foreward to WnW's next CS!

All the aircraft listed above are great choices and would make excellent models, but my money is still on a BE.2.  I would love to see a BE.2a as used by the Australian Flying Corps and was one of their main training aircraft at Point Cook in Victoria, this is the aircraft I would really like to model. If WnW release the more popular BE.2c I will have to do some modifications, but this is all in the fun of modeling.

PS. A new Camel from Wingnuts does not interest me at all, I am extremely happy with the way my Academy Camel turned out, took some work but it ended up being a very nice model.

I would take anything, what WNW produced. Obviously, if it caught my interest 
But in the matter of fact I would like to see any WW1 aircraft kitted, which served in Polish markings after the war.
And if I were to make a Christmas wish, my very short letter to Santa Claus would say just this - Friedrichshafen FF.33E.
Santa Claus, eeeh, i.e. Peter Jackson, do you copy?
On the other hand, if the WNW Christmas releases line this year does not include anything of interest for me, I will not despair. I still have enough kits for 6-10 months modelling, including the WNW Snipe and SE5a.
In any case - I am happy to let them surprise me!

If it caught my interest - I have said, too    AEG failed a lot in this

Ha - wishlist time again:

1. Halb Cl2
2. Halb Cl4
3. Hanriot HD1

'course I'd be in for new SPADs, DrI, Nieuport 17s etc. as well but not so critical as there are already kits out there....

[RAGIII]

I'll take anything at all - I'm nice like that - but would prefer just the one engine this time. Please.

I agree that single engine would be preferable. As a matter of fact it has been a while since a single seater has been issued! Another reason to suspect a Dolphin, Fokker EV, or....

George said:  "I'd like a real surprise at Christmas"......if you went to the hospital for a simple procedure and came home as Georgina you wouldn't be the only one who was surprised.

Trust me, Michael, no one wants to see that. I won't be following in Bruce, er, Caitlin Jenner's footsteps. But this seems to be a common theme for you. Are you trying to tell us something?

I'd like to see:

Hanriot HD.1
Phonix D.II
Breguet 14

It will be a Fokker DVIII as I just received the Falcon Vacuform kit

Hello fellow modellers!!!

Lets add something to this topic once it has been brought back to live after while

I'm with Bo on Halberstadt and with Des on BE.2... and I really like the idea of having Albatros D.III or Fokker E.V...

According to surprises - I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't any surprise at all since those surprises are no longer surprises (apart from knowing the type ). 2014 was such a big year for WNW - I believe it was 9 boxes??? And we are talking about 9 high quality, collectable kits... who else does that? So I'm guessing they slowed things down a bit to clear some shelfs in warehouse for future
But hey, whatever they have for us Im sure it will be damn exciting!!!

I've just run the numbers using AET*, and the surprise kit this year will be a DH4. Think of it: they've got sprues for the Liberty from the Ninak (another fave), and now they have RR Eagle sprues from the Felix. TVAL flew their DH4 earlier this year meaning that WNW had full access to drawings, measurements, and structures before cover.

I'm so sure that I propose a wager. If I win, I buy it, and if I lose, I buy the Halberstadt CL I I that Bo prognosticates.

Actually, although I'd love to see most of the kits suggested here, I already have more than I can handle at my glacial building speed. I am planning on buying the Camel, and if they come up with something I like, I'll most likely buy it too,  but I really don't know why at this point. I never wanted to become one of those stash hoarders, but WnWs has corrupted me!

So, I guess whatever they do is fine with me...

3 wings and a rotary engine. I don't want much 

Make it happen, JackO!
