It was inevitable that this would happen sooner than later with ALL of the others already gone. I feel fortunate to have already built three DVIIs' and to have received another Fokker built as a Gift a few days ago! When the "Special" editions show the price will be much higher but hopefully whatever they put in will be worth the extra Dollars  :-\

Well, for a few months. Camel / DVII dual combo?

Quite possibly.  If you read anything into boxart on prior releases being a harbinger of things to come, I believe there is a Camel on the box art of the Fokker DVIIF, going down in flames.

I believe the Fokker Dr.I is more of a natural choice for "Duelist" boxing treatment with the Camel.

I agree Eric. I think the more natural "Duellist" adversary for the D.VII would be an SE 5a.

We have to bear in mind that ALL of the Wingnut kits are limited production and will all end up in the sold out pile in time, buy while the buying is hot.

Yes, there were many. But I dislike the aircraft, like all Fokker builds from WW1, despite their historic value. No rigging, no fun. Well, E.I-E.IV would be better, but then - no Polish markings :-)
