Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[Petie2nd]

4 of the images are all of 157/16; the same as the model shown built up. There is a picture of that machine in the Datafile, also from the crash. There may not be any other pictures of that particular machine. I'm sure more photos will be added when details of the other schemes are released.

Crash photos can also show structural and cockpit details not visible in other photos. 2 of the shots are even of a G.IVb, as noted by WNW, so are there only to show some common details.

Windsock Datafile No 51 has lots of good reference for the AEG, and not just trashed ones

Boxart is up for the AEG Wow! Can't wait

[uncletony]

Instructions show sprue L for 32042 AEG G.IV Late....

So two versions at least (sigh)

[uncletony]

Lol now the late version box is up too ...

[Jamo]

WNW sure know how to tease. Its like a peep show

[petrov27]

nice schemes - good looking aircraft

[LukasTheLight]

Oh dear...

Well, this is what we feared, two boxings already, how many more to come.

Well there we go eh ?
                            Two versions to be released ( no doubt simultaneously ) I will need to peruse the schemes in a bit more detail but ( as usual ) some of the early AND some of the late schemes appeal but with this release I will have to purchase one at a time so need to make a choice.
              With pretty much all the early and late schemes this latest release looks arguably ( and I never thought I'd say this ) better than the Gotha, we truly are in a golden age for Great War aircraft modelling. There has been discussion on what the future holds from WNW such as Straakens and HP 400s ect, well I haven't got a clue, but one thing I do know, this company is going to totally blow us away, yes kits will go " sold out" and most of us can't afford all the kit sets we would like ( but if we could, would we live long enough to build them all, let alone where to put them )  plus it seems as a kit sells out Wingnuts ease the pain with two brand new gems, totally mind boggling .
     All I can say is Vive La Wingnut Wings !!

Late....I just decided....tough decision, but I gotta put my Aviattic night lozenge decals on something!, love the #7 and the shark mouth.....I'm literally giddy looking through all this!

[Eric Armstrong]

Everyone no doubt recalls the release of the Hansa Brandenburg W.12 and the Felixstowe that loomed in the background on the boxart.  This turned out to be the prophetic foretelling of the release of the Felixstowe early and late versions. 

With that in mind, I see that there is something interesting in the box artwork for the AEG IV early version: SE 5a's attacking.  Is this a harbinger of another duelist kit featuring the SE 5a and AEG IV?  Does it foretell a possible release of the Viper engined SE 5a?

[Dave W]

Yes, the AEG looks amazing and appealing etc etc. All that detail loaded on the website but still no whisper of the price.

As Jamo said, it's like a peep show. Lots of teasing but they hold the price back till the last minute.

Anyone still think these kits will sell for $150 or so? I stand by my guess- these are $250 kits and I just hope I'm proved wrong.

My uneducated guess puts the price about half way between the Gotha and the Felix at around $200. It's smaller than the Gotha, but has more parts, decals, etc., but it's no where near the size and complexity of the Felix. I'd be very surprised if it is near the $250 range.

If I'm right, maybe I could actually afford one this year. The Late version.

Go lower, say $199.
