Thanks very much Jim for the wonderful photos, this is the aircraft Wingnuts should model next

We can only cross our fingers and hope, Des.   

I'll post some walk-around photos of the RR Eagle engine I took, which I understand powered the Vimy.

Thanks for the pics Jim

Des, you may jest, but I think a WNW Vimy would be a winner.  I wouldn't look forward to trying to fit the top wing to what, 20 struts!

Ian, I would love to see a 1:32 scale model of the Vickers Vimy and the Handley Page 0/400, just imagine those two sitting next to the Gotha.

That would be one big shelf Des!  I may have to treat myself to the Gotha soon, if only to have in my stash should it go OOP!  I have built 5 WNW kits and have 8 waiting.  In amongst the other stuff I probably build 2 of them a year, so I need to up my rate!

Thanks for the photos Jim.

Now a WnW Vimy, what a beast that would be! Trouble is my house wouldn't  be big enough to accommodate it.

Best wishes
