Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[dr 1 ace]

.... they need a big seller next year like the camel (which to me we do need much more than a dr.1) or a dr.1 to make that slam of money next year. again these are only my opinions.

One must recall that WNW is NOT a market driven company, Sir PJ gets what he wants First (who else would make the Junkers J1 the #1 kit in a totally new line of kits) I doubt WNW HAS to make a slam on any one kit... we will get the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry kits when WNW is ready.

For Nigel Jackson on 30 January -
The  1/48 resin Taube kit seen in progress at Telford is being developed by Peter Plattner of Wiener Modellbau Manufactur in Austria. A charming guy and an exceptional model maker. His website wmm.at shows more of his work, including his astounding 1/16 Austro Daimler engine.

Tim, many thanks for this. It was seeing Peter's early resin work on the Taube which made me realise how big an aircraft it was.

There's no sign yet of the Taube on the site, but for those yet to discover it, (wmm.at) there's some lovely things to look at, including some 1/48 Austro-Hungarian aviation figures, beautiful Austro-Hungarian naval work and figures, and the amazing Daimler 120hp engine Tim mentions. It's custom-made but, for me, ferociously expensive.

Best wishes
Nigel

peter plattner is a great modeller, i have seen alot of his stuff thru the years so a taube scratchbuilt by him would be great, i would buy one, but then i prefer 1/48 i know not a popular thing to say these days. but theres just so much more different stuff in 1/48 that will never be produced in 1/32 .hell if not for wnw we wouldnt even have 20 1/32 ww1 kits right.

You are correct on both accounts and Thank Sir P. J. and his crew !!

I had not noticed this poll before. I voted for the Roland CII. That would sure be neat in 1/32!

If I could vote again I would vote for the DH5, It looks very lonely in single digits

Very interesting to see the Roland C.II Walfisch taking the lead with the Halberstadt CL.II not far behind, but what surprises me the most is the RAF BE.2, this is running third at the moment but for an early unattractive aeroplane it is polling very well, I would love to see Wingnuts release a BE.2 sometime this year.

[rhwinter]

Yes, Des, although I am a confessing Walfisch-addict, I do like the BE.2 a lot too and would really like to see it from WnW!

[RichO]

I too would like to see the be.2, but I hope it's an "a" as apposed to a "c". I really love the look of the earlier versions of most of the aircraft from that era.

[Des]

I'm with you on this one, I also hope it is an "a" version, I really like the earlier aircraft.

The poll is still active for anyone who has not voted yet.

[Nigel Jackson]

Hello All

Just to buck the trend I'd prefer the BE.2c to the 'a', but in truth I would be so happy to see either. By way of preparation (hopefully not for a fall) I've recently been acquiring and checking out my BE sources.

Best wishes
Nigel
