Nice evocative box art but the current global exchange rates means price will be a big issue. Assuming $US99, this kit will be at least $A138 to Australian buyers. As I already have two of the standard Bristol Fighter boxings,  I'm just not tempted by a postwar boxing as well. If price is the big factor then the Sopwith Camel will win the day.

It looks like quite a complex build - gorgeous plane though 😊

I would say $99.00 and not a dollar more, especially with the exchange rates being what they are with the U.S. dollar.

Certainly that is what I hope it would be as I believe that is what the earlier Bristol is at, but on the other hand, the AEG was significantly more than I thought it would be....

I don't know.  I kinda like it.  I'll probably get one.  I think the F2b may just be my favorite WWI aircraft.  After the Camel Comic and the BE2c.
Cheers,

I really hope the two seaters' prices will be kept around 99 USD. WNW are going to earn more than enough money when the Camel is available, which would open up possibilities of cross-financing kits that aren't exactly of the "bread and butter"-type.

Looking foreward to see, which versions will be offered. But I am afraid the REASON to buy this kit will be the absolutely beautiful boxart!! (Although I am not yet ready to pay more than the "usual" $99.00..)
