There HAS to be a Breguet.  No list of WWI aircraft worth building would be complete without it, IMHO..

Bexause next year is the centenary of the start of the war, 1914, maybe we will see the release of some early types approproate for the time period.

Ok, I've got it Des! What about an FB-5 Vickers Gunbus? The very first allied aircraft to carry a weapon on the field!

In this list a SVA would fit better than other subjects;
I'd bet also on some flying boat: HB or a macchi.

Yes you are right, he does, according to Richard Alexander

Thanks for the confirmation. As for another 2-seater, a real stretch, IF they ever branch out   the Vought from the King Kong Movie.

You're a mind-reader, Steve.  Exactly what I was thinking. ;D

Surprised they haven't announced more of their future kits on their website as they have done in the past. Currently the list of future releases is the smallest ever for WNW I think? Just one future kit listed on the website and two "late" versions of existing kits?

I am sure they will let us know in time - always anxious to hear what the future will bring though :)

I wonder if many of those open kit numbers/spaces to fill are for the promised "special" edition kits?

I hope NOT! wouldn't it be beautiful if they're for aal new kits. As far as i'm concerned all additions are available at the moment: Gaspatch turnbuckles, Aviattic lozenge Master Barrels Taurus engines and additions to name just a few. It has started a real cottage industry in itself. i'm rooting for a Short admiralty 184 or a Be2c Happy holidays. :-*

Ha - yeah I would prefer all those open numbers are completely new original kits of types that have not been done before.

I would have to agree that the allure of special edition kits is not that strong for me given the huge amount of aftermarket already available. The kits are already pretty special in themselves...

I agree with Janh...The after market items are a cottage industry in them selves. I'm sure I have spent more on the am stuff than the kits cost! My Gotha was $150 and I have spent $200 on the am parts. My AMC DH-2 is the same way, and the SE-5a is headed that way. And now with the new Taurus U.III engine, the new Fokker E.IV is climbing in cost. This stuff cost more than drugs for the same effect!! But you gotta love it!
OMG, I have finally discovered what's wrong with my brain: On the left side there is nothing right, and on the right side, there is nothing left.

I'd Love a Walfisch. A Roland C2 would really fire my interest. :D Or a real nice Albatros DII seing as they have one at TVAL now to work from... Now I'd deffo buy that un.

Til then I'll try to work on my stash and hanger queens and the PT's.
