The now de rigueur Early and Late, I s'pose.


No ground attack G IVk? Or the long wing G IVg?  Didn't some have a box tail?  On the ground attack it mounted the Becker Cannon, it's about time one of those were made, then the cannon sprue could be purchased separately and used on other projects.  Like the Gotha among others.... Lots of possibilities lets' hope they get adventuresome.

Thanks for the size comparison Des. Should be a good buildable, displayable size.

If they do a G.IVk with a Becker cannon, I'm in! 
Cheers,

That does seem like a good size for the AEG. Wonder what the price will come in at?

Dont know much about the AEG but it looks cool - hope there are some good schemes for it!

Very clever but probably not far from the truth, Wingnuts like to get as much mileage as possible from each mould so your list would be very close  :) :)

I'll take them all but the prototype, they are never painted very cool, and the too late, I just don't like the sound of it.

Me, I like those post-armistice-too late versions a lot, even if you cannot build them as the mounts of one of those veryvery famous, veryvery bold etc. men. I like those planes, find them interesting, because they're seldom seen, often quite colourful and mostly connected to very interesting stories from quite exotic parts of the world, like e.g. Siberia or Persia... Yes, that's my passion.

I like the post armistice version too. For example as I'm building the LVG C VI, I find very interesting the "limousine", the full cabin conversion. I wish I could built this kind of version but I'm not able to do the modification.

For some reason the newest Wingnuts release of the AEG dose nothing for me, even looking through the Datafile on the subject, but I digress, a question, the Felixstwe kit being larger both physically and in parts count to the Gotha is therefore more expensive than the Gotha. So it should follow that with the AEG being smaller physically ( though of corse we don't know the parts count yet ) that it will be cheaper than the Gotha, it "should" be, but some how I doubt it will be.

My guess is that it will match the $149 of the Gotha, that will still be a bargain.

I'm thinking $129...it's smaller than the Gotha, should be a little cheaper in my mind anyway.  WHo know's maybe even $99, is it a lot bigger than the Salmson, or the Hanover?  Or the Rumpler?
