WNW Felixstowes now available

[Eric Armstrong]

SOOOOO glad I did not pay $300+ USD for a W.29 on eBay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Sir Peter Santa!!!

I would bet that this will cause a massive drop in those ebay prices that have been lurking in the near $300.00 per kit range.

ONE WENT LAST MONTH FOR $408.26 US. There's one up now at $172 with 5 bids on it and tghree days left to go....Id thinking bidding will come to a screeching halt

.....yes, folks, the surprises just keep on coming!

[Ian from Doncaster]

Not for me.
I hope they see fit to bring out a new boxing of the W.29. Only then will my interest be sparked!

I'm the opposite Bob, not interested at all in the W29.  I choose most models for aesthetic reasons and the W29 never grabbed my attention.

The Early Felixstowe however.....

Way too rich for me I'm afraid.

Same here. I like both a/c, but they're not one of my favorites, or meaningful for me the way they are with some folks here. I sure look forward to seeing what gets done with them though.

I also am in the same boat. I have already said It wasn't my cup of tea, but even if it was way out of my league price wise. So like you looking forward to seeing all of the builds

Well, I'm disappointed. I would've bought one, but not for CDN$309.00. If it got nailed for import duty, it would be at least another CDN$40.00. That's just too hard to justify for a single model kit.

Cheers,

Chris

I've just ordered the duelist set as well.

I get a free Felixstowe for the cost of an 'eBay' W.29 plus I can convert the shipping box in to a new workshop

Well, has anyone looked at the parts breakdown on the trees and figured out how that "wing break" is supposed to work?  If memory serves, WNW said you could break it down for storage. No dog in this hunt, mind you, but just curious as a spectator.

Going to get coffee while y'all figure this one out

yes it is shown in the instructions: don't glue the wings on


wings have massive tabs:

Yup, scratching my head over that one too.  Exactly what is one to do with the rigging when removing the wings?   

I also like the comment on page 20 about taking 7 days for the dihedral to settle.  What's that all about?

Cheers,
Eric

[WarrenD]

I saw the massive tabs. Hmmmmmmm . . . .

Warren

[eclarson]

Ooo...I think I figured it out!   Once fully assembled and rigged, each outer wing section can be removed as a unit thanks to those big tabs.  The only complication I see is the rigging between the wings and forward fuselage.  Just a few lines though so them could probably be made to be removable as well.
