Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[fredjocko]

George:

That is an interesting analagy. I thought when Wingnuts first stated I read on this or another forum that Sir Peter was making the planes he wanted as a boy. I had the impression there is an "emotional attachment" to the subjects produced. I was never interested in WWI aircraft until WNW came on the market and find the subjects pretty cool and to be honest I can't wait for the next one; whatever is is.

Since I never heard of the band when they were at their prime; but I discovered them and I and I really like them now and I can't wait for the next song to come out.

Thanx,
Carl

Thanks, Nigel.

You are spot on Warren, Wingnuts will not tell us anything let alone why they are not (or as far as we know they are not) making a Fokker Triplane,

Harken back to one of the 1st interviews with Richard A, where he did mention not ( immediately-- my interpretation) doing models of existing subjects ...if they were of sufficient quality, alluding to the Re-tool Camel and the Tripe( which are fairly good kits).  Of course in time they would (as with the Camel), but not being a ..."market driven"... company they can concentrate on the subjects near and dear to Sir PJ and when the WNW Tripe does appear, not only will they sell but just how many will you buy....

and for the latest WNW Speculation look at the thread for the NEW WNW Clayton and Shuttleworth decals...

Bo, I beat you to the "42" reply a while back, but you beat me to this one.

Michael,

11= Spinal Tap
42= The Hitchicker's Guide to the Galaxy

See the movies or book for the answers, I don't want to be a spoiler. 

George

[WarrenD]

Exactly, what George said.

Michael, treat yourself to some really great fun. Get some beer, some snacks, sit down, reminisce about our rock 'n roll youth, and watch the movie Spinal Tap.

You'll be glad you did.

Warren

[uncletony]

Man, I loved Spinal Tap (And all of the other movies Christopher Guest is involved in) but I don't remember the numbers. BUT, rest assured, I will investigate.

I also never read Hitchhiker's Guide......or Zen in the art of Motorcycle Maintenance....or Jack Kerouac.....but I will.

(Does this have anything to do with WWI aviation models?)

Oh man... Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was hugely influential to me... See "gumption trap." -- quite germane to our little predilection...

[Pgtaylorart]

Ok Michael, never read Hitchhiker's? Zen? Kerouac? You're gonna lose you're license to operate as an artist in NYC if word gets out.

I know what your homework assignment is this week...

And this has nothing and everything to do with WW1 and Wingnuts

Mud flaps, my baby's got 'em.

[Eric Armstrong]

Okay, I'll be that person.  This thread is officially off the rails now.  May be time to get back on topic.

[Pgtaylorart]

Thanks Eric, I was just trying to make a simple analogy, I didn't mean to derail the thread. 

And now that we mentioned rails, let's not start talking trains...

Given WNW made early statements about not duplicating existing kits, I'd have thought Nieuports would likely be far down their list of priorities. There's good 11/16 types from Special Hobby/ A-Model, the venerable 17 from Hobbycraft/Academy and a whole series of 23/24/27/28s from Roden.
.... but a WNW Macchi M5 would certainly get my vote and would hit my Paypal account the second it was released.
