I saw that!  It's spectacular, especially considering it was done in the most difficult of all the schemes.  All that masking must have taken forever.
Cheers,

I noticed there is a beautifully built Felixstowe in the customer models section, an impressive model especially when compared to the Sopwith Pup model.

Des.

That's Leo Stevenson's Felixstowe.  There's a nice write-up on his build on Hyperscale.

Wow! Thanks for the link, Eric.
For my money, Leo's F2a' s wings look fantastic. Really gives the impression of a big big heavy 'boat hanging from it's flying wires rather than sagging on it's landing wires. Wonderful!

That would be Leo Stevenson's bird. Top bloke and superb modeller  ;)

Come on Wingnut Wings. Bring finally this little Dreidekker.



In all variations please!!!
Perhaps incl. the short winged prototyp   ???  and the F.1   :-* and of course the Dr.1  :P
For that I would pay a little more than the Fokker D.VII................ 8)

I gotta say I would really be excited about a F.1 or Dr.1   Hopefully WNW would include streaky decals like they did in the DVII

Ok, I caught the hint from Richard about Streaky Decals a couple of Months ago. Actually I think it was a statement more than a hint. But I am not sure where I missed the DR1 hint? Just one question, will I need to sell stock to get the kit  ;D

Yes, I know Richard has some things going on, but I thought that was his Ansaldo. Hmm, I guess I'm a bit slow on the uptake...

It will reveal itself to me when I am able to see it, Zen Master!

I didn't mean to imply it was Aviattic, I am as blind to the Hinted at kit as you!

    There have been many (appropriate) comments and speculative ramblings concerning some alternative choices to the Wingnut Line, the Ansaldo looks like a wonderful start and, given Aviattic's efforts to date, will prove a solid one. A DR.1? I'd personally do handstands and cartwheels immediately before ordering several! Let's keep that thought! ;) If, like me, you're a dreamer feel free to insert other types in lieu of DR.1 in the foregoing, Camel? Alby W4? Nieuport 10, 11, 17, 23??
Cheers, ;)
