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...

Georges comment here sums it up so well from my own perspective. I've gone from someone who thought they were a mite expensive to a growing pile in a matter of months and I haven't actually made one yet  ;D  My ever tolerant and long supportive  wife says I've become a 'Wingnuttifiliac' - totally addicted but seemingly understands my demise.

Discounting the Camel, which I will get, my desire would be for Bo's first and third choice but in reverse order - I would just love to see a 1/32 Vickers GunBus. The Halberstadt would be a great second closely folllowed by a EV/DVlll. A Dolphin wouldn't go amiss either ;)

In the meantime I shall finish that Accademy Camel - work starts back on that today  :)

No, my little WnW Wishlist is

- Hannover Cl II
- Sopwith Snipe
- FE 2B late
- Hansa Brandenburg W 12 early

Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

I was swapping emails with Richard Alexander last year when he wrote something to the effect that anyone thinking WnW would ever produce a Felixstowe was "bonkers". Coincidentally, that was the same day that the news of the F'stowe leaked out.

So, let's play this game from a different direction. Let's create a "Bonkers" list of all the kits you would love to have but cannot imagine WnW ever producing. (Silly waste of time, I know, but, you've read this far....)

Here's my list:
1. Vicker's Vimy
2. Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI
3. Curtis NC-4
4. Sikorsky Ilya Mouromets V

Cheers from NYC,
Michael

Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI
Friedrichshafen G.III
Hanriot Hd.1
Farman - any model
Voisin - any model
Axes Grind and Maces Clash

I guess I'd like to see WNW treatment of some of the more popular planes:

SPAD VII and XIII
Nieuport 11, 16, 17, 28
Albatros D.III
Hanriot HD.I

And a Fokker D.II
I shall never forget my admiration for that German pilot, who single handed, fought seven of us for ten minutes. I saw him go into a fairly steep dive and so I continued to watch, and then saw the triplane hit the ground and disappear into a thousand fragments...James McCudden

Hello All

I'm with Des on one form of BE 2 or another. If it has to be yet another German aircraft, please let it be a Taube.

Best wishes
Nigel

For me personally it does not matter what comes out of NZ.
I have completely lost interest in WW1 Models currently.

What? Your models are so incredible! I hope you are still producing models of some sort. You are a true artist with modeling.

We haven't lost interest in your models however. Thanks for so much inspiration. I hope your muse returns...

Yeah - you gotta take a break sometimes - I build other era kits and have other hobbies as well - got pretty burned out myself with the AEG build so am on a break from that but probably will pick it up again given a bit of a break.

I like the idea of Michael's (Scarborough) list of 'bonkers' kits which we can't imagine WnW ever doing.
Understandably they're all big (or VERY big - my own fave ridiculously oversize suggestion would be the SSW R.VIII :) Though I have a sneaking feeling we could see one of them in the next few years.

Anyway, here's a complementary list, of smaller types which either have a cool story, or simply look cool (IMHO!) but which seem unlikely to catch WnW's interest

1. Morane L
2. Oeffag Mickl H
3. Pfalz D.VIII
4. SPAD XII
5. SSW D.IV
6. Sopwith Baby or Tabloid

But in general I'd have a beaming smile if we saw something French or A-H
