wnw Felixstowe

Hmm...I think that award goes to the guy on eBay who is currently selling his 14th WNW H-B W.29.    
Somebody did some serious model speculation there!  No wonder they sold out so quickly.

Er sorry Forum Hoarder Champion

LOL!  Indeed.  At least I know my measly 20 WNW kits aren't even in the running for the title.

Take a look at the box size comparison of the Felixstowe to the Gotha now up on the WNW website--it's TWICE as large! . Oh yeah!!!

Cheers,

Poor postmen...

[ermeio]

Exactly twice...
I hope that the price is not twice as well...
They would sell much less

A question to those who had their hands on Gotha box - is it of the same base size as the remaining kits and just higher, or is its base bigger?

Yes, Gotha kit box is the same footprint as the regular box, with higher sides. I think the Felix box shares the Duelist box footprint, but I can't get to mine at the moment to confirm...

Gotha box -  400mm x 270mm x 110mm high

Roland C.II - 365mm x 235mm x 70mm high

Fokker E.IV - 365mm x 235mm x 60mm high

Thanks, Bo. 
However, I remember once seeing a comparison photo of the Dualist box and one of the others, and my impression was not 2:1 ratio, as is the case with Felixstowe.

EDIT.
Well, gentlemen, this is somehow contradictory... I suppose, you have just measured the boxes, Des. Thanks a lot!

The duelist box measurements are essentially two single-sweater scout kits sitting side-by-side.  So, whatever the measurements of, say two eindekker kits resting side by side would be.

I stand corrected -- it is close to the same footprint, but yes, a little bigger in both dimensions but relatively much deeper. My impression of the duelist box is as Eric says -- two single seater boxes side to side and that's how it is stacked on my shelf

[PrzemoL]

Thanks again for the immediate response, gentlemen! Now I have the proper impression of what is awaiting us

Now let's wait those big boxes, 800 x 365 x 220 containing a pair of stakeen and a V1500

The interior looks really cool… love the petrol drums...
