Time for the annual Wingnuts speculation

[mike in calif]

WNW is the first 1/32 injection kit maker to venture into the 1920s,(Snipe...) so a Jenny would fit right in here I think.

WNW is the first 1/32 injection kit maker to venture into the 1920s,(Snipe...) so a Jenny would fit right in here I think.

IIRC, Richard Alexander was quoted early on in WNW's existence that the Jenny was not in the cards as a planned release.  Circumstantial evidence suggests that those early plans have now changed.  Not surprising really.

He also said that they would never make a Sopwith Camel as there was already a good one out there, guess they had a re-think on that one as well

I've missed where Wingnuts have stated that they are to do a camel, where is this statement ?

It was in an interview a couple of years ago now and was reiterated on facebook about 2 months ago during a survey of wanted kits. Richard said not to vote for a Camel as it was in development. I am sure Des or someone still has the link to the original statement.

I do not recall the words -"never"- being used...

Comment re Sopwith Came came out in the Feb-13 newsletter published by The Great War Special Interest Group of IPMS GB:

Scroll down to p29. Excellent magazine by the way, I really should subscribe

Nor do I.  I doubt the words "never" have ever been used when R. Alexander has discussed possible future releases; unless, of course, someone asked if WNW was planning to do a Saturn V...

An extract from the Q and A article in Hyperscale June 2012


Q: Although the 2010 feature article on Wingnut Wings published on HyperScale stated there was no perceived need for a WNW Sopwith Camel due to the Hobbycraft kit, the Hobbycraft model is now unobtainable and many believe a Camel is a ‘natural” for Wingnut. Can you advise if Wingnut is working on a Camel? If not why not?

A: I can advise that we are not working on a Camel. Why not? Because we are currently working on models of aircraft from the Great War that have never been modelled in 1/32 scale. But this does not rule out the Camel (or any other subject for that matter) for sometime in the future. Never say never.

There you go, I should have said that he said they are not working on a Camel, my mistake, but the word "never"was used, I just got it in the wrong place, sorry that my memory is not the 100% that it used to be, I will hang my head in shame for making an honest mistake.

Hi Des. 

I interpret your term "never" as an "exageration in support of explanation".

A Junkers D.1 would be fantastic along with a BE.2, an Avro 504 and a Jenny, would make for a good collection of aeroplanes.

Maybe we should be speculating on which kit will disappear next...
I see the Alby (OAS) has now fallen by the wayside.
I still am believing that this year we will see a Camel or Fokker tripe.

** wrong** see below!

[Ernie]

Eek! false alarm!  I goofed about the Alby OAW.  I should get these
old eyes checked.  My apologies to all!

Humble Cheers,

As for a ship that I'm pretty certain is not represented by anyone, anywhere, in any scale, the ol' ground attack warhorse DH5 strapped with four 20# Coopers would be outstanding from WnW. A trim little bus, she was.                       -M
