24 spaces - just enough room for Noops Camels and Dr!'s

I think I've cracked code and figured out what that next combo pack dual release will be:  Snoopy vs. The Red Baron in a Camel and a Dr. 1 ;)

a Breguet XIV would be great.  One of the most important WW1 planes.

Found this image while searching for vintage advertisements, same as on the WNW Salmson



Artist: Leonetto Cappiello. Date 1912

" Because of the simplicity of his graphics, Cappiello was able to produce nearly 1000 posters in his time and was an inspiration to many lithographers to follow. His work is sought after today and may be found in galleries and museums throughout the world"

Des Thanks for posting, always nice to see the "original" inspiration for markings.

re: the above wishes for new kits, due to Sir PJ's affinity for 2-seaters; imho, a: Halb, Breguet & Walfish are sure fire future releases

Former build on the aerdrome from UFAG

Martin!  It's so great to see you here, my old friend.  Glad you finally made it over.  That Star Strutter is still my favorite build of all time.  Thank you for posting her here.  You're right.  WNW needs to start doing some Austro-Hungarian aircraft.  Refernces abound.
Cheers,
Bud

That is an absolutely fantastic build and shows the way to depict CDL in large scale (among other things). It deserves its own thread here; not sure what it has to do with "WNW speculation" -- your link is going to get buried I'm afraid, that would be a shame. Please consider posting at least an abridged version of your log in the appropriate category here :)

Merry Christmas,

I agree with Bo; your build-log of the Brandenburg is a remarkable testament to both your skills and passion for WW1 modelling.

The forum would be enriched by a new posting of your amazing build.

I would also like some options to build aircraft from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Happy Landings

It is a fantastic build and a testimony to the modelers skill and craftsmanship!  It is a joy to pour over the build log and see how he does what he does and the patience to do it.  The Austro Hungarian side of the house is sorely lacking and more kits of those a/c would be greatly appreciated by those of us model in plastic.  It would seem the Albatros would be a logical starting point, but any of them would be neat.
