Something simple would be nice for a change - although I'll be 'in' for an AEG at some point. Someone has mentioned this somewhere before in this thread I believe. The $NZ has gone down quite a bit against the US dollar and I paid $NZ20 or so difference for two kits (Alb DV and Pflaz DIIIA) about two weeks apart, early in February. At the moment I have stalled on my WNW DH2 - been overworking it and not getting very far - and large-area Aviattic decaling looms as well. It's nothing to do with the kit. As a 'relief' I've started the Special Hobby 1/32 Bristol M1C (operational version) and I love it. Not quite on WNW level but not far off. A smallish, interesting subject with just enough challenge - this time around practically out-of-the-box;  next one I might jazz up a bit. There are plenty of potential subjects out there like this.

Cheers,

GrahamB

Thanks Bo.  Was contemplating one of these in 48th and seeing that scheme has settled the matter.  Sprue Brothers thank you as well!

Yeup Bo,

Been hoping we are going to get one of these for quite a while.

Would love to do the diorama with the guys loading the potato mashers on board from the well known contemporary phtograph....you can see it in the datafile.

Best wishes,

D in D :) :)

Having had a trio of brand new subjects over the last quarter I'd be very surprised if we got another completely new type from Wingnuts next.
I'd think a few retoolings of existing kits more likely. There must be a late W.12 in the offing along with a Viper SE. Maybe even a DH4 or an early DFW (yawn), perhaps an early SE 5 - although it is quite different from the 5a - think of a 60Sqn machine in blue, red or yellow raiment.
Left field, what about a Salamander!

Hi all.
IIRC, we had some fun here a while back regarding the likelyhood of a new release being forecast in the background of the box art of released kits.
Well, my new conspiracy theory ;D, based on the recent abundance of multi-crewed aircraft and the box art of 7 kits, is the release of
a SPAD 7 or 13. Or both  ;D.
If any of you are now thinking, gee, counting box tops? This bloke outa get out more! I agree! Haha.

BE2

Absolute certainty.

I wish I had a dollar for every time someone has predicted the arrival of the BE2 on this website.

A Spad VII or a Nieuport 11 or 17 would all be nice, but I am still saying we will see a BE.2 soon (sorry Eric, here's another dollar  ;))

Yes, why are the Nieuports so neglected by WnWs?  Just one little 11 maybe?

There's a list of models (supposedly) currently under development by WNW at Brit Modeller (http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234975301-why-no-wingnut-wings-fokker-triplane/page-2), 2nd post from the top.  Before anyone gets too excited, the Camel is given as kit 32033, which is supposedly a Roland C.II (Early) according to a sprue from another Roland kit, I believe?

Whether the list corresponds to any form of reality or not I shall let you all decide.  Personally I think it's an early Aprils Fool's joke (see the reference to "26 days early" and the date of posting- 06 March).  Besides, it contains no BE.2 nor an Oeffag Albatros D.III (153 Series), so I refuse to believe it.

Happy conjecturing.

Dal.

Considering the extreme secrecy with which Wingnuts has done everything up to this point this level of information really seems a bit too good to be true, don't you agree, comrades?

MS

Yes.  I agree with Dal Gavan.  I detect the heavy smell of April Fools come early.  Nothing to see here.  Everyone move along...

It's not an unreasonable list even if it's guesswork, but I wish they would give us a Hanriot and M5

Well, April Fools or not, the Martinsydes and the Dolphin have me intrigued.
