It's not beyond the realms of fantasy to think WNW may release a Merc version or a later long fuselage type.

After all a lot of the basic work is already done (I suppose though you can say that about most of their releases ::) )

Still dreaming they might release an Albie DIII after all just the fuselage, the interior and undercarriage would be all they'd need to make.  ;D

I'm pretty sure this will happen the second I start with my kit bash of the Roden D.III and WNW D.Va ...

I've already tried that one with my (still unfinished) DIII OAW & D.Va... Maybe if I actually finish it they would? ::)

Well, what are you waiting for?  Get started right now.  Everyone else can hardly wait. ;D

 Mike West has posted photos of his new 1/48th scale Felixstowe on the Hyperscale forum under the Plastic Pics section. The early and late versions of this kit should be available next month from Lone Star Models.

If you do, you could two of them in the Felixstowe box!

At my build speed this will likely take six months and cost about $1 USD/day.

This is an expensive hobby, gotta pay to play.  I think their prices are very fair with the free shipping and all.  The prices of the new Tamiya kits, or the Trumpeter are very expensive.  I'll take one regardless of the price......

I'm thinking either $169 or $199 USD.

I think either of those prices would be more than fair....

I see there is a comparison of box size against the Gotha box image up on the late model page now  :o A Big bu@@er for sure.

The box is way bigger than I expected :) I have no idea fo rthe price, but it seems like this is oging to be a kit that WnW put a lot of effort into creating it. Can't wait to see the end result!
This leads to the second question on my mind - what am I going to do with my 1:72 Roden Felixstowe supplied with many extras? Probably build it but...
