Always look on the bright side of life... It could be 500$ later on Ebay ;) I think I will go for it as soon as I make some income :D or sell my WW2 when I get home...

Like you said... golden age for WW1!!!

.... 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?

Yes, I agree, Eric.

I think the box art for the early version is simply stunning. Maybe a Viper powered SE5a would be WNW's way of showing that they are not forgetting the entry level Great War modeller who might be intimidated by the apparent complexity of the recent multi-engined beauties, or those who cannot afford them.

Best wishes

If I can afford one, I'll go early, just on the strength of the box art!

Early box art is indeed lovely Nigel, but I think I'm going to have to Spring for the late ( maybe the early one day )

   If I jump on this one it will be the Late Version for sure, can't resist the patriotic significance of 574/18 from our National Museum. I'm presently pretending that I don't intend to join the frenzy on this Kit but I don't think I'm even fooling myself! :-\

Okay, question for y'all. Was the Early A.E.G. used mainly during daylight, the Late A.E.G. used mainly during the night?

James, day and night early on but used more for just night missions in the latter days.    -M
