I'm pretty much a newbie here on this site. Like most here, I'm a huge fan of the WnW kits and have purchased 5 so far. I'm wondering about something that may be obvious to the rest of you, but why are there no Nieuports of any kind? Does Peter not like them? What's the inside story on this, if anyone knows?

Thanks,
George

I'll take a WnW Nieuport 11. Actually, that's the one I was thinking about. If he has one then maybe, who knows? You're right there's no shortage, but WnW is a whole different kit than the rest.

I think they also have a Hanriot HD1.  Now there is one they could do...I don't know
of any in 1/32. Maybe already in Sir Peters plans??? :)

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Just Noticed that WNW has Posted their Deadline dates for Christmas orders. Now it seems that the Speculation time is really here!

I'm going for a BE2 of one or two sorts.

Ticks all the boxes.  2 seater, not kitted very often, TVAL have some. Plenty of variants can be created with clever sprue arrangement, which WNW are famous for.

Lost of exciting marking options as it served all over the place through most of the war, and before in a few roles - including Leefe-Robinson's airship killer.

TVAL have had a couple for a while, plenty of time to make a kit from them.

The Hanriot is relatively new acquisition. Nobody needs a DR.I or a Camel.

I'm doing the Dr.I wheels, with or without a Wingnut Wings kit on offer.

Did you all pre-order your wheels before I closed the SwS casting run?

I don't think Uncle PJ will do a Fokker Dr.I (it's a bit sad) but I still hope for a surprise.

Like Rob, I am for BE.2s. When you think of recently released Windsock Datafiles and the fact that TVAL have built some of them, then it is as sure as that Christmas is in two months time :-)

I suspect that a BE2c and BE2e would be in the pattern.  Quirks for Christmas?

So, not having been part of the fraternity at this time last year, I have to ask....on the day that the new releases are announced, does the whole ww1ac.com forum shoot up fireworks and don twinkling lights????

Tick, tock, tick, tock....

Pretty much, but first there is ever increasing amounts of fretting and agonizing whether Santa will forget us this year.
