With the publication of the two new Windsock Datafiles on the DV/Va and the excellent new Builder’s guide from the same source for the two superb Wingnuts kits, I thought it was a good time to further expand our coverage of the “Albie” with volumes three and four.
Those who have the Windsock titles already will recognise a good number of options from within their pages – either as profiles from the ever-excellent Ronnie Bar or “new” photographs but there are also a number (particularly in volume four) that are from different sources.
For previous releases we did the 32nd decals first and the other two scales came along later, this time it is our intention (funds permitting) to release them all at the same time. The final design of the decal sheets is being worked on now, so as yet we cannot quote prices but they will be announced here shortly.
I’m reluctant to give a definite release date as I am very aware that things this year have been a lot slower than we wanted, but I am confident that - barring any further “challenges” being thrown our way- we should be firmly back on track very soon with further announcements of what we think will prove to be a very exciting release program for more WWI decals.
First set is 32036, 48031 or 72023:
Second set is 32037, 48031 and 72024:
As already stated, the final prices aren’t yet available, but I can say that they will be broadly in line with our previous similar sets. If you wish to place pre-orders now please drop us an email at
[email protected]. All pre-orders can, as usual, be cancelled at any time so you are not making an open-ended commitment! I can also say that there will be free postage and packing for those who order both sets in advance before the end of July this year*.
Just a note for those patient souls waiting for the previously announced subjects, the two sets for Jasta 18 will be available to send out imminently, followed by the Gloster Gladiator and Hawker Demon sets. The other ones on the stocks – the Italian Hanriots in 72nd and 48th and the 32nd Gotha G.IV sets – will be going to print very soon.
* (unfortunately this doesn’t apply to customers with deliver addresses in Mexico, Brazil, China, Russia and South Korea – those customers will receive an equivalent financial discount)
