Was at their site earlier and wondered if there are going to be more than one boxing (hopefully and based on the history provided by WNW on the Camel, this would lead you to believe this true).    :)

This is a bit like the RFC pilots on the Western Front waiting for the arrival of the fabled Bristol Monoplane. Much rumoured, much anticipated, the few "test shots" tried by those "in the know" promised sky-high results, but of course it never did materialise where it was most needed!

The archive photos are very interesting.

Funnily enough, I recognise the 3rd one in - the checkerboard. It's from No. 222 squadron RAF, ex No.1 Fighter Squadron, RNAS, at Mudros airfield in the Aegean. Taken just post war.

Some of you may remember I have a DFC medal group to Capt. J.A. Yonge - He served in 220 & 222 squadron in the Aegean and this photo was with the ephemera.

Would be a nice scheme!

New pictures of completed model at WNW site.  "Still expected in late 2016, very late 2016."

Being not the biggest fan of the Camel I must say that I really like this scheme...  :)
... and don't forget: the advertisement and the slow release process  is just to detract us from the other surprise releases before X-mas - the Be 2c, the Morane Saulnier BB, the Halberstadt Cl. II and ... and ... and ...  ::)

Yep, I'm hoping for a Duellist boxing with something more interesting in it :)

First let me say that the built up scheme is certainly colorful and should spark some interest in those that want more than PC 10. Even the MGs are painted blue  8)

Next I agree completely with the "Wish" for a duelist kit with something else more interesting. But what? Remember that almost all, if not all, of the OOP German kits would line up as a possible duelist with the Camel. So a new release like a DR1 would be great but so would an Albatros DV, Fokker DVII, etc. JMHO,
