The movement in the exchange rate will have to go a long way to cover the 20% VAT and £8 handling fee for UK buyers. This is also reflected in the UK second hand market with single seater kits always exceeding $100 USD plus postage even on auctions. The BIN prices are higher than this.

Yes, surely. I have just picked up my copy of the newest WD from the mail box and had the same feeling. It would be great to have this one for the coming Christmas, wouldn't it?

I do so hope we get some form of BE2, but I suspect a Camel or two and a friend told me not to rule out a Dolphin. Whichever way things go, I'll need to warn the bank!

I'm trying to remember ages ago there was a whole series of 3d concept models of what was coming out from wingnut wings, It had the EIII and the AEG G.IV but I think I saw an E.V/D.VIII as well.

I don't think WNW have ever published anything about a possible Fok EV/DVIII. There are post-war DH9a and F2B kits coming, but no-one seems to be very excited about those

I did a bit more reading about the Fokker D.VIII after seeing Nigel's build. Always liked that plane and think it might have surpassed the D.VII had it been in production earlier. So, in addition to the Fokker Triplanes, I am rooting for a D.VIII.

The post war variants just do not do it for me at all, but maybe that era will bring in others that are not so much into WW1 or not into PC10?

A WNW DVIII would be cool, it is not near the top of my personal want list though. Gotta believe they will do it someday...

Continuing the speculation....

  - anyone know whether WNW intend to be at Telford this year?

If so, the timing would be quite good for releases in the run-up to dare I mention it?- Christmas.

Speculating like crazy on what they will release next! ;)

Well they weren't there last year Dave, but I'm going and so, if they are, I'll get a posting up asap. The exhibition website will have a list of trade stands etc

Yes, speculation is fun, there was some by others hoping WNW would do some between the war colorful bipes ( since Sir PJ did King Kong with chi Curtis biplanes) but I do think "stretching" the Dh9, Bristol and Snipe may have been a trial balloon.
Life is short, enjoy it, nobody gets out alive.

Any idea or speculation when Wingnut will release the A.E.G.?

I would love to get the AEG...I'd snap one up...it seemed so imminent earlier in the year...as for speculation, for me, it seems as though it's a blur between that and a bucket list...that said, a crate I'd love to see from the NZ master kitmen is a Hanriot HDI...a trim little aircraft that is a bit iconic in it's own right. In Italy anyway.

Would love to see a Hanriot HDI, and a Friedrichshafen G.III.

At Shizuoka Fair in 2012, when and where the AEG showed up first, there must have been a note, written in Japanese(!), that the kit was scheduled for release in 2015. unfortunately I don't remember, where I've read this, so this post of mine is worth close to nothing ( but still good enough for the "speculation"-aerea here, I guess...).
