Wingnuts Albatros B.II sold out ?

[Dave W]

Just noticed on the WnW site, the new Albatros B.II is now listed as "coming soon". Maybe the initial stock sold out faster than expected. They do say more stock is due mid December

I was NEARLY CLOSE to ordering one...

Wow, they weren't kidding when they said limited stock! I'm glad I jumped at it. But this is just the initial run. There will be plenty more in mid December, but not in time to receive one by Christmas.

I was just about to hit the pay now button when I realised that if I did so it would probably arrive just in time to be beaten up/crushed/shook to pieces or just plain lost in the usual postal melee that occurs pre Xmas. Looks like the decision to postpone for a few weeks isn't going to make much difference now 

Hope you get yours in time George

It really doesn't matter if I get it before Xmas or not. I have too many other projects on the burner anyway.

I told my wife there was a box coming from New Zealand... just stick it under the tree when it arrives. "I know what comes from New Zealand" was the reply...

Tell her, "Yes, it is Lucy Lawless."

   I really have to wonder, how many of these kits might have been snatched up by the "speculators"? I have a theory that a great number of the Sold Out Kits are the result of that particular activity, or maybe I'm just being paranoid! In the interim I ordered the Data File a few hours ago, just in case I change my mind on this one!

Well, there was a limit of 2, so I can't imagine it's too rampant.

I hope there aren't too many WnW kits sitting on the shelves of "speculators" waiting for them to go OOP. These kits should be in the hands of modelers who will appreciate them and hopefully build them one day. I'm guilty of having a growing stash, but I'll get around to building them all, if I lived be 156 years old!

If you ordered that from Hannants Lance you were a couple of hours ahead of me getting the last one  (there were only two when the 'news' broke!) but I guess they'll have more in by the time the kits arrive on the shelf.

Only 156 years George? Oh I wish - I'm positive I'll need more than that

Tug,
    I ordered direct on the Albatros Publications Web Site,  take a look on their Site, it's Number 93 and must have been updated in the past several days as the write up mentions the BII Release by Wingnuts. It was still listed as available and they receipted my order.
Cheers,

   Good point in this instance; I am just amazed at the number of Kits offered on EBAY etc. and particularly the asking prices. I keep checking to hopefully find a "Harry Tate" for less then a mortgage on my home!!

I think a B.II will be a very slow seller after the initial knee-jerk rush of collectors adding anything new from WNW to their stashes. I'll probably get round to build one in a year or two's time - when it'll probably come with a free Datafile!!!
Now, let's have the real Christmas surprise please and pop out that beautiful Sopwith Dolphin that discerning modellers are waiting for.
