Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[Des]

I sent a copy of the poll to Richard Alexander over at Wingnuts, it will be interesting to see if I get any type of response with his thoughts on the list of aeroplanes and the number of votes cast.

I received a reply from Richard but due to the privacy act imposed on any emails sent from Wingnuts I cannot disclose the contents of his email. But he did make a few good points regarding the number of votes for certain aircraft considering that these particular models, and quite good ones, are already available in 1:32 scale by other manufacturers.

Hanriot. NOW. Or I'll cry....

Hm, but as far as I know, none of the polled models are available in 1:32nd scale, right? Or do I get the you/Richard Alexander wrong?

The Albatros D.II is on the poll but is already available from Encore and is a very nice kit, the Niueport XI bebe is also on the poll but is available from Special Hobby, this also is a very nice kit, both of these kits are 1:32 scale.

Ah, I understand, Des: Richard Alexander is talking about models of any quality or required skill available (or not so available)! Well that's not what I am around for. I want perfect models of interesting subjects, easy to build at a reasonable Price, that is Wingnut Wings Models and to a degree Roden too. (I can wait..!)

One aircraft that has been woefully neglected is the Voisin LA series.  Since Des has made his excellent scratch built, someone needs to bring it out in 1/32.

Nice thing is that there is still an example in Paris to refer to.

Heavens above, is it just me counting down the days until the Scale Models Expo in Wellington over the weekend of 5-6 April? The news page on the WnW site still just has a big advert for it with the enticing prospect of a WnW stand and the words 'we look forward to meeting you and discussing our new and upcoming releases'. It's the other side of the world to me, but I'm sure that forum friends will bring us any news hot off the press!

Best wishes
Nigel

I also am counting down the days (5). Am I the only forum member attending?

OMG theyre sold out!!

[uncletony]

wow the deluxe sets can't be long in coming now.

Sure glad I am sitting on a pile of Albatri

[petrov27]

Wow - dangit, I wanted to pick up another Sopwith tripe at some point too...

Hope we see the "special edition" releases of the sold out kits (in my lifetime lol)

[drdave]

It suggests to me they're taking a pile of stock to this show, which has suddenly emptied some of the shelves...Clever people would buy whats at the show....

Shame as I was thinking of getting another Alby and need another OAW D7

[uncletony]

Wait... Is it April 1 in NZ yet?
