Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[uncletony]

I didn't do this one ...

If photoshopped it is very well done.

Very exciting if true though

If it is true, it's a monumental timing screw-up on WNW's part to have it appear in FSM before it's posted on their website.  I wonder if the electronic version of FSM comes out earlier than the printed magazine?

the e-version comes earlier, this is the Jan issue and it is not photoshopped and my photoshopping ksills are non existent!

Thats from me for now
Best regards,

If it's true is great!

The box arts look very weel done, is not a quick photoshop job.... 
We'll see

If it is a hoax it will be one that will certainly cause a reaction from WNW. It is all over Facebook so thousands have viewed the ad. Perhaps Ray knows? In the past he and his Albatros Publications have done a fine job of keeping releases secret until the publication came out!

PS: If Sasho says it is in his E Copy then we certainly must believe it is true!

Why would FSM run a hoax ad?

C'mon. It's real.

[petero]

First off....how could it get into the magazine which would have been prepared a long while back without the news leaking?

These days magazines have a very short lead time compared to pre-digital days.  I can only speak about Airfix Model World, which I've contributed to since they started.  The completed digital issue files only go to the printer a few weeks before they hit the streets.  As far as leaks, the magazines deal with sensitive information such as unannounced releases all the time, and their staff and contributors are bound by non-disclosure agreements.

Why would FSM run a hoax ad?

C'mon. It's real.

Agreed!

Maybe not due out till Jan/Feb timeframe so they didn't want to get folks too excited for a Christmas release?

If so (and again if this is real) then wow early 2015 will have some BIG releases from them including the AEG....

[mgunns]

I agree with Bo and Sassho:
FSM wouldn't run a phony add, and I doubt that WNW would put an add in the magazine only to say:  "Just Kidding Folks".

The modeling world is certainly rocked by this bombshell being dropped on us by FSM!  I may pop for one of these, growing stash notwithstanding.

So, if it's true we can add 4 missing kit numbers

32062
32063
32064
32065

and the missing number 32801 is maybe a Felixstowe AND a Hansa Brandenburg W12

[Chuckt5]

Wow! I have dreamed about a '32nd scale Felxistowe but never really thought it would happen, but if this is true....

[petrov27]

I imagine traffic on the WNW website has increased dramatically this morning
