Hehe I think you might be on to something there Mr. Geisler... I seem to recall a certain scratch built project on these pages that looked an awful lot like a prototype...
We'll hell, I was sworn to secrecy, but it seems the cat is nearly completely out of the bag and it is almost Friday, after all.  You're right, Rick.  It'll be resin and it will be AWESOME.

Someone on the FB WinNuts Wings fan page posted his box art for a 1/32 Ansaldo A.1 Balilla, and said to expect an announcement on Friday.
And on the FB WnW fan page -photos, among a series of shots of a fan club show last year somewhere, there on the table among other WnW kits is a built model of what looks very much like a Hansa-Brandenburg CC...maybe a little large for 1:32 but can't be sure. Also next to it is a large 2-seat triplane without upper surface markings. Sorry if this has been talked about and I missed it but I'm just really curious. I've found a 1:48 version of a HB-CC from Omega models but it's definitely not that.    -M

Do we know if Wingnut will be releasing a new kit tomorrow, or is this just speculation? It would be cool if they do.

You'd be amazed what a chick magnet a Spandau can be.) (Wish I could find those pictures.)

Just as a matter of interest, how long has it been that the AEG has been on their website marked as In Production?

If I'm not mistaken, about a year now. That would be really sweet if they released the AEG tomorrow.

BTW, are there elves adding emoticons to posts? I never use them but have now had two added to my posts. Or is it merely the power of thought that causes them to materialize?

No, but if you type 3 question marks it will appear as ???

It's not Wingnuts, it's a company that starts with an A and has a logo remarkably similar to a famous German propeller decal :)

Last year (2013) WNW made their first Fall releases on Oct. 22.  We are running late this year.  The previous year they released on October 5.  However, the last two years there was not a late July release like we had this year with the DFWs.  By my count, WNW has released six (6) kits so far in 2014 (two Walfisches, the Roland D.VIb, the Albatros D.V (OAW) and the two DFWs).  Arguably, these are only two new airframes, but it's possible that we might not see another release until closer to Christmas.  I hope I'm wrong, but six boxings this year so far seems about right based on past practice, but . . . who knows!  The WNW folks work on their own whim an schedule. ;)  I have already placed a provisional WNW Be.2 on my build list, and that's what I'm hoping for. :)

In any event, the "A----" Balilla will suck up all my oxygen for the next couple of weeks anyway.  Can't wait to see how I can get my hands on one of those! :D   

Regards,

Bob

Just looked at the Ron Cole site. Under E-Bay Store there is the painting of the Ansaldo. Item description says:

Ansaldo A.1 'Balilla' Italian World War I fighter, flown by Antonio Locatelli, with his beautifully distinctive personal markings by Ron Cole. Commissioned originally for a brand new 1/32 scale model!

Pretty sure the AEG G.IV was announced in May 2013.

Yes, 17 May 2013 at the 2013 Shizuoka Hobby Show in Japan



It was displayed at the Wellington Model Expo earlier this year where I took these photos:

No need to be impatient. Pictures have been here for many weeks. ;)
