What I gotta speculate about WNW products is  the long-time promised release of at least some of their resin figures. Their models are gradually issued, one eventually after the other, sometimes in a bit of a spate but it's been years since I first saw their home page with the figures labled 'in development' and still nothing comes forward. It's just that the few they show are just sitting there looking so enticingly crafted....of course....well, most of them anyway...one or two of them look to share a problem that too many other figures elsewhere on the market have which is slightly exaggerated facial features....noses and moustaches, especially. Sometimes they even appear a bit clownish and therefore just don't look all that real standing next to a very detailed, exact replica of a well built WWI airplane. But most of WNW's little people appear to be quite life-like, don't they, with well conceived poses that make it really easy to imagine several different scenes for dioramas. So they'll be worth the wait but, as usual, I get impatient and want 'em now....or yesterday.

Still waiting for any A-H subject besides a Fokker. Berg D.I, Phönix D.I or D.II and UFAG C.I fror example.

Yes, those A-H birds would be very welcome to me too! But as WnW clearly focus on Western Front-subjects so far, I am hoping for a Breguet XIV and a D.H. 4!

Definitely agree that a Halberstadt CL II (and IV) would be worthy additions to Wingnuts line-up

In the game of 'Crosses and Noughts' we have had a string of German Crosses.  Hope the next is a BE2, my preference is the 2e.

Other subjects that I would like to see are:  AW FK8, SE5a Viper, Camel, Strutter, Halberstadt D.II/III, Halb. Cl.II, Voisin LA3 or 5.

My guess we will see a few of my wish list.  Curious that the AEG and post war DH9 and Brisfit have not popped up.

So hard to predict what they will do next - hoping for a allied subject (Hanriot HD1 would be good) but who knows?

They are keeping things closer to the vest the last couple years - the Hannover and DFW were totally out of no-where - anything is possible...
