I imagine traffic on the WNW website has increased dramatically this morning :)
Yes indeed, sadly with no confirmation.

Wow!  How am I ever going to convince my wife that our daughter will have to move out to make room for this beauty!  Micheal, the size of this thing should be right up your alley.  Kinda like building a tansu or something.  Best keep that chainsaw ready.
Cheers,
Bud

Just had a brilliant idea!  I could build wood framed glass case for it and use it as a coffee table.  I'm sure that Carol would then demand to choose the color scheme, but that's alright so long as she approves the plan.  I must go plant the seed right now.

Well, well, well...and what does this do to the theory about box art teasing re-introduced way back on page 40 by PrzemoL? First mention of a Felixstowe. Pretty dramatic turn-up, eh.

You're not thinking 'Big Enough', Staaken R.VI.

It's early morning in NZ (0640) as I type this and I have to wonder what the reaction will be at WnW when they sign on to their computers at see this bombshell staring them in the face. Somebody could be in deep doo-doo for not being aware of the FSM publishing schedule.

Cheers,

I would love to see Wingnut do a Staaken R.VI. That would be sweet, but I doubt they ever will. Hopefully they will do a Friedrichshafen G.III one day.

I bet for reasonable choices:
the next bombers will be
Vickers Vimy
Handley Page 0/100-0/400
Gotha G V
Caproni Ca 3 may be Ca 4
at least in the next four years
A Staakeen would be really a dream, but I have seen one and it is too big.
Do not loose the hope, though
Did you notice how large the Dogfight Boxes are?
why did they make large boxes to contain two fighters when they could have done some  high boxes instead?
Something really big is on the horizon

Would anyone who actually has the ad care to give us a rundown on the marking schemes? I'm just wondering if there are Chilean and U.S. markings included as I can't decipher anything from the JPG posted.

Cheers,

Haha yes, I was pooh-poohing the box art theory --  this crow tastes dee-licious!  :)
