Wingnut Junkers D.I

I see over on the WNW Fans Facebook page, they have pictures of the new WNW release at Nuremberg.
Nice choice.

Hi!
Of all the beautiful WWI aircraft left, they chose that...thing.
It's as disappointing as a new SW movie... :'(
Ciao

Nah, c‘mon - it‘s a very nice choice! Your favourite will surely turn up, too, Iwik!

Probably not, Special Hobby makes the Floh in resin.  Interesting subject they have chosen, did not see that one coming.

That is a relief. My stash has grown too much in the recent months. And this release will definitely not increase it. A few months for quiet building of what I have already at home, before something interesting comes.  ;)

   Too funny, my thoughts exactly! We are truly getting spoiled; I was holding back on that Fokker D.II from Special Hobby, now there's no reason to delay any longer. ;)

I think its awesome....but then I like Ju87's too........It should be a pretty straight forward build though.

Well.....errrr..,...alrighty then.  Can't say I'm not disappointed, BUT....this is a technically important plane historically and I would think a relatively cost effective model to produce, so that helps buisness. I hope it sells well for WNW. It's just that it has no CHARACTER,  no struts and wires and things sticking out of it.  As was mentioned earlier, I have plenty in the stash to build, and am not done buying WNW's other gems yet.

Hi fellows, I am not actually a fan of 1/32 kits, but reading the news of a new kit being revealed at Nuernberg fair and reading someone talking about the possibility (or the wish) to have an 1/32 Hanriot I got very tempted, but this Ju DI is not actually at the top of my preferences, I agree it has been an important step forward in the history of technical development of planes (i have the Roden kit in 48th) but should I ever decide to purchase a WNW that would be the last in my preferences.

BTW I hope it will be a good seller because IMHO WNW people deserve success for their commitment and for the top level quality of their kits.

Yep, this flying Quonset hut won't be joining my stash either which is absolutely fine...it'll leave a slot wide open for CSM's imminent N17.
