Hi.
Guess you've notice the Be2c "early" in the background. Next one out?
Since there is an Albatros BII Late in the making, I wouldn't be surprised they'd do the same with a Be2c late.
What'd'you think?
Ciao

Just a matter of time on the BE2c, methinks..

Couldn't resist this one when I saw it this morning and put in my order right away.
Cheers,

I ordered the Albatros. If the Camel shows up soon I'll get that as well. One advantage of having grown sons and an understanding wife is that I have a little more "disposable income" than I used to. I acknowledged to myself long ago that when it comes to WNW, I'm helpless to resist :)

Rob, I'm in the same boat with 3 grown sons. Isn't it great? We've paid our dues, now it's finally our turn! ;D  I also ordered the Alb. and I'll get the a Camel as soon as WnW lets me!

Well ordered mine and OMG the exchange rate sucks. Between last night when I saw the release and this morning it cost an extra buck. Oh well. I did luck out though and found that Albatros B.II book on amazon for $20 Cdn coming up from Edmonton. so it should be here next week :)

If you're quick the datafile is still cheap on the windsock site. Not for long....

Well, I'm as tickled as can be for all y'all that are dedicated 1/32nd modelers, I really am.  :D :) ;D  Even I am tempted to place an order. (Just ordered a bunch of stuff off of the Eduard site in my preferred scale.) I am tempted, sorely tempted I tell you.

Also, correct me if I'm wring, but in the series of "Blue Max Airmen", there are quite a few PlM winners that got their start on this a/c. That means a lot of cool, historic schemes if one wishes to build a series of a/c used by one particular ace.

Just sayin',

Great start of the day! Just ordered Albatros B.II - it can be done in Polish post-war markings!

last years ago I saw this beauty in Krakow aviation museum for first time and then in Vienna shortly after that... remember that moment when I for split of second imagined how it was done by wnw... I guess It is better than I even imagined!!! ;)
Fantastic aircraft!!!!

I know Prze ;) but Im pretty much assuming there will be late version in the future ;)

Kraków museum has a late version  - B.IIa, some rearrangement of cooling system would be necessary to model it.

 All,
While I'm quite pleased with the newest WNW release I'm also slightly disappointed . Personally I'd rather it have been a Albatros C.III if it had to be another two seater.But on the bright side it is a kit seldom modeled if at all and that's a good thing. So I don't plan on ordering a B.II just yet.I'll wait to see what else WNW surprises may still be lurking around the corner other than the Camel.
Highest Regards,

I agree with you 100% Gregory! I too had hoped for a single seater and would have preferred the CIII. That being said, like you I will await any further announcements.

I love the way this was an 'Easter Egg' style release - when I clicked on the 32061 - DH.9a 'Ninak' (Post War) and the popup came up and I redirected to another aircraft I was like.......

"FFS someone has screwed up the website coding I want to see the Post War 'Ninak'!!"

and then I was like

OH MY GOD!
