yes! some non-German plane, please!
I am turning to the Aviatic Balilla for my Xmas present even if I am scared of resin...

I'm looking forward Aviatic 1/32 Ansaldo Balilla too but I'm a little bit afraid with resin too.

If they are as particular as they were about the colors and look of the lozenge, then the resin should be pretty nice...

I'M liking the 'stripped down" version of the DVII. I see LOTS of potential with that.

Now that the missing Duelist series number is filled in, will there be any more? Will all the sold out kits gradually reappear in Duelist boxings (doubt it!)

Fokker D.VII (Fok) and Camel maybe?

Yes, Des, but I don't have 20 empty spots left in my closet! And once that Felixstowe/W.29 box gets in there, oh my!!

Loud cheers from NYC,
Michael

If you set to that dualists box pronto it can be your new closet.

Could be almost anything.  I would have never guessed that a Felixstowe and a H.29 would be the subject of a duelist release.  My hunch is that we will see the Fokker D.VII make it to duelist boxing.  Perhaps the Albatros D.V and the Se.5a will get this treatment.  I think that the Camel will eventually get this treatment along side the Fokker Dr. 1, perhaps something as obvious as Roy Brown and the Red Baron. 

What if they did a duelist release featuring Werner Voss' Fokker F.1 against McCudden?  An actual dogfight that occurred much like the Felixstowe and the Christiansen W.29 being featured presently.

I think that soon we will have the first super detailed kit , a sort of royal class, and it will be..a HB w29.
I think, but it is supported from some statistical reason, that they produce a batch of around 1000 kit for each model.
Now they have ordered a w 29 batch, but the duellist does not sell 1000kits, so we can figure that they will sell 250 duellists.
We have 750 (or, even more sadly around 300) of each one of the felixstowe) and the remaining  250 felixstowe go for the duellists.
The remaining batch of 750 W 29 will be boxed as a postwar W 29 and a deluxe box, respectively 500 and 250.
In my opinion this year WN nearly  doubled its sales.,with around 10000 orders and selling around 30000 kits.
Not bad, if these figures are confirmed.

Voss & McCudden... Arrrggg!!!! More money headed south, way south.... But still, life is short and I'd consider illegal activities to afford an F.1 from Wingnuts Wings.
