Hi Graham
I live not far from you and will be getting the Trilogy Albatros set. If you would like to have one of the kits for 1/3 the total price and your pick of 10 out of 11 decals then you could be in! Only possible drawback is that Josef Mai's Crescent and star is mine.I could even arrange to drop it off to you with a trip up the coast from Tawa. Let me know this interests you.

I regard the LOTR and Hobbit movies as having financed The Vintage Aviator Ltd and WNW so I'm a big supporter!

Now, on with some modeling, and by the way a Sopwith Dolphin would be very nice!

Na, the background is red so there is hope for all you wanting a DR. I ... or maybe a Ilya Muromets...(lol)

Yes Zac. A Be would be appreciated by many here, and I am sure it is on it's way. Actually, as the Vintage Aviator has full size excamples I am quite surpised it has not yet been relased! But I think it reasonable to think it is in development, I hope  ;D

I hope you are correct Ed. A triple DR1 will do very nicely. Thank you WNW. in anticipation  :D

I would welcome a BE.2-something, a, b, c, e, f, whatever.

As fas as DR.I, I suppose, that if even in is in the WNW design pipe, we will first see a flock of single kit releases, as was with Camels. These probably grouped with markings for particular Jastas, maybe one with Clerget to enable Jacob's blackie. Only when the inevitable expected gold-rush for this flock devours it totally and the prices on eBay and elsewhere reach the grotesque level, after a year or so, a multiple pack may appear, IMO.

Greetings Prze.  :)

I think you are likely correct.

I find it a bit of fun speculating though.  :D

When a Be something is eventually released I will also be delighted.

And very much looking forward to seeing you work you magic on it  8),

which I will then unashamedly attempt to immitate   ;D

Salute!   :)

How about a triple Sopwith Triplane package with a pack of markings from Black Flight?

dear Santa: hook that up and i'll be a good boy i promise.

dear WNW: hook that up and i'll be first in line even if i have to do a two week water fast to afford it.

Actually I meant the DR.I as an equal tongue in check to the Ilya...  My preference is still for a Dolphin, Halberstadt D II/III ( yes I'll get the 1/48 CSM too) and just about any other single seater that has not been done yet.  The Roden is really sufficient with the corrected cowl available plus the fact that I did so many in 1/28  puts it at the bottom of my list.

It would be nice if they did an Albatros D.I or D.III. I'm curious as to why they haven't done an early model Albatros yet?

Roden did them in 1/32 already - probably a factor in WNW not doing them, at least not at the top of their to-do list anyhow

Forgot that Roden did those. It would be nice if Wingnut did those. I'm still holding out for Wingnut to surprise us with a Friedrichshafen G.III.

My speculation for down the road.... pretty much a no brainer: DVII trilogy.
 I'd be very curious to see which nine new schemes they would provide.
