No way -- it's lie! Tamiya would never release a 1:48 M-10!

I'll go $179

If so, that's fairly good/cheap for a kit that size...

WNW models have always been great values. The Gotha is $149 and has more parts and is very similar in size (but we haven't seen the decal sheets for the Felix). I Don't see them pricing this outrageously higher than the Gotha.

Well, there goes my theory of a Be2 being the surprise release for this Christmas, there will always be next year.

Maybe July, Des.  We do need a 1/32 Quirk!

Honestly, when writing my comment on the box-art teasing after W.12 was announced, I meant a mere joke, not a reality. I never thought I would see the WNW model of the aircraft which actually brought me to WW1 a/c modelling.
And now I know, I will have to buy this monster. And I truly mean to build it right after I put my hands on it. I HAVE TO find the storage place (the removable wing panels notwithstanding). My current two separate cabinets are 73 cm wide each, just to fit a Gotha. And mostly full. But there must be other options. My dear wife is already sleeping but I am sure she will help me solve this tomorrow. After all it is her, who bought me Roden's 72nd scale Curtiss H.16 8 years ago for Christmas! ;)
To say I am happy is a serious understatement! I am overjoyed!!!! :D :D :D

I'm tellin' you, Prez, a glass coffee table is the perfect solution.  You, your lovely bride and Felix will all be happy. ;)

I showed the WNW Felixstowe listing to my wife and her first comment was "Ooo...you need to get one of those."  Why?  Well, one of our cats is named Felix.  Works for me!
I casually mentioned the model's wing span was 3 feet and she just said we'd have to make room for it.  :D

Cheers,
Eric
