I will buy one, but not until the spring. I'm a very patient man  ;)

My thoughts exactly, probably I will be getting some of the old ones instead - like the Fe.2b or the DH.2

My second impression - the most thrilling aspect of the new WNW release is the artbox. Do they plan a Felixstowe???

This is one I've been waiting for.

Just got the email from WNW announcing it. And the D.VII (Fok) really is now sold out. That was quick. I wonder if they made a lot more Albatros kits or if the D.VII is that much more popular.

     My thoughts as well; I would have thought the Albies would have sold out long before the D.VIIs started falling off the list. Does anyone have any idea of how many kits would be/were produced? :-\
Cheers,
Lance

Nice to note that this release is an (Early) version. That leaves room for a late version. I have read that the late version has a longer fuselage, different cabane struts and ailerons on upper and lower wings.

I'm in for a late version. There has been one flying with orange cockardes.


Regards,
Ivo

I'm assuming that all the box contents are the same its just the decals that change so if I had my heart set on doing a fok version I'd just need some AM decals and away I go.



shuffles off to order a W.12 and D.vii just in case.

Cowlings and rad too depending on which you choose to do. Nothing too difficult though and there must be a wealth of spares amongst us to play swapsies with people.

I'm in the group thinking that Albies would have been long gone. So many markings options, with so much color, and the same with DVIIs. I guess I'll have to plan a couple more to add to the shelf; DVIIs that is.  The DVII looks to have all the bits for each version, less decals. If you have the instructions for the Fok version you ought to be good. Like the Albie.
 I see I'm not alone wondering about the Felixstowe in the background of the HB boxart. The Gotha, and AEG point to working out the engineering for larger machines, and a Felixstowe would be along the lines of the HK B-25 methinks.

As said earlier the DVIIs do have different cowl side panel and upper panel options in each release. As an illustration I screwed up the right upper cowl on my current DVII build. NO problem just go through the spares and find the matching one right? Wrong. I ended up having to use the only similar one from three DVII kits requiring me to sand off louvers that weren't on mine. The fortunate thing is that one can hopefully pick up spares from others as already stated.

I really thought in the game of 'Naughts and Crosses' that the next release would have a cockade.

Rick, I'll keep that in mind about the cowls. Thank you for the reminder.
