Hi Ian Yer getting there!Having said that, six months ago I would not have looked at a Albie twice until I saw Brad Canncians little wonder.Now I cant get them and their colour schemes out of my head.Plans are for a Roden Oeffag with a small Stuff engine and plenty of wood panels to mimic.Nuff said.

With the "3 Felixstowe" versions comment, I hope one with be a US version. To my surprise, I have Datafile 125 on the shelf, and must spring for the Felixstowe Datafile only. I think I need to part with some of my 1/32 WWII stuff.

Richard I'd probably look to convert a WNW SE5a to a viper configuration using perhaps Roden's engine (you can buy it seperate) and the Resin and PE you require.

Purely for the fact that the level of detai on the rest of the kit and the decals are much better. The WNW engine may even be modifyable, especially if built cowled up.

With the release of the W 12, and coming Felixstowe, is it outside the realm of possibility to see a single seat floatplane? Something from Short or Sopwith would be pretty cool.

A Sopwith Schneider or Baby would be VERY cool IMHO.  8)

If they do a single seater float plane, it'll be an Albatros W4  8)

Now that would float my boat for sure. :D

Macchi M.5, please, if WNW are on a seaplane/flying boat drive.  It would also expand the coverage of non-German aircraft (61.2% of their releases/announced future kits to date have been German) and, with luck, herald a few more Italian and A-H types for the future.

Cheers.

Dal.

Yep I'm with you Dal. Flying boats are great and the Macchi has to be one of the most graceful planes to fly in WWI (or any other time for that matter), as well as having some colourful markings. A Lohner would be cool as well. Another Dogfight Double...

Did anyone else read that TVAL has built and flown a US version of the DH-4?  Photo in Flypast.
