Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

January 1 is my birthday, and I know what I will have a gift-huraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Eric, as if you didn't know already, that woman is a keeper!   (FWIW, so is mine.)

I always feel sorry for guys whose wives aren't supportive of their scale modeling interests.

Oh, most definitely!  She's even dabbled in the hobby herself having built this 1/700 Titanic a couple years ago.  It even won a 2nd place award at local show!   



I provided tools, advice, and moral support but she did all the work, even learning to use an airbrush in the process.  She told me she now has a much greater appreciation for what I do.  Yup, a keeper for sure.

Cheers,
Eric

My wife is supportive as well. I could be into buying and rebuilding exotic sports cars or shooting heroin into my eyeballs, so plastic scale models are pretty much fine.

Where I live, if there is another scale modeler, he or she is staying anonymous and my friends and acquaintances think my fascination with plastic airplane kits is kind of cute and a little odd. They have no idea what this is all about. If I try to enlighten them I quickly produce the MEGO effect (my eyes glaze over) in them.

To bad for them...

I guess a  Friedrichshafen GIII is not out of the question then either?  Who would have thought we'd see these monsters in 1/32 scale?  WOW!!!  They will need their own display case of course.

Exciting times, i suppose the moment to buikd my Felixstowe in 1:72 is about to come
Maybe at some point in the future a:32 also

. . . a glass coffee table is the perfect solution. 

It really is Bud. Glass (or plexiglass) top and the same for the bottom too, so interested visitors can crawl under for a look-see.    Naturally I recently sold my tablesaw, bandsaw, and wood lathe but I did keep my compound mitre saw. It can still be done but I'm going to miss that tablesaw!

Cheers,

Chris

The updated list, we now have 20 spare spots.

Hmmmm . . . twenty more releases and then WnW disappears as quickly as they appeared? It could happen . . .

Cheers,

Chris

You fellows should sell coffee tables to all the rest of us who will need a place to display our Felixes    But then you'd never have time to build your kits!

Nice

Somebody needs to do the math to figure out how many actual surprises there are in those twenty spaces. Fr'instance we know there is a Camel coming, a Pfalz D.iii, etc...

Bo, I knew about the Camel of course, but what is the Pfalz you listed? One wonders how many of those spaces are reserved for Super Kit re- releases, if any?

In the interview in windsock they mentioned a Pfalz DIII
So theres that,  a couple of camels, early DFW and a late W12. I bet the next duel set is a Camel/ Dr1.
There better be a a HANRIOT in here somewhere. Odds on a Dolphin too.

[drdave]

And don't forget a series of BE2s and a Macchi M5.


If we now revisit the box art theorem, which has just received a boost thanks to the latest releases, there's a Spad VII, Dr1 and a Bebe in the mix.

Haply:  My wife too supports the hobby.  She is as surprised by this release as I am and everybody else is.  She likes colorful airplanes and I am sure this will be under the tree come 25 December or whenever it is released by WNW. I have some shelf space for it, and would build it.  A lot of history in that airplane as it was flown by US Naval aviators in WWI as well supporting allied coastal operations.
I am also fortunate in having a friend who I get together with at club meetings for coffee and a breakfast sandwich and speak with on a regular basis and discuss the hobby and other things.
I tell ya folks, we are living in the best of times for the plastic modeler.

[Ernie]

I wonder if one of those 20 boxes will at some point contain a Fokker E.V/D.VIII?
That would make for a happy bunny over here.   From what I know, there is only
the Battle Axe version out there and it is pretty rare now.

Cheers,
Ernie
