............... Now if I was a betting man, which I'm not, I think the favourite (like most everybody else) would have to be a re-issue of the RE8 with 3 Sqn markings. A somewhat obvious (if uninspired) choice, though welcomed by a lot I would guess. I would love to see the BE2 series get up and running. A Stan Dallas Camouflaged 40 Squadron Hisso SE5a re-issue would be most welcome (if slightly annoying as that is what I got the original SE5 release for ) as would a Tripe with his markings as well. I would love to see WNW come right out of left field with the Martinsyde Elephant, while it wasn't that successful an aircraft, but IMHO, it is one of the more elegant looking aircraft of WWI.
I guess one important factor in what WNW release is research. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that was a primary reason that they haven't done certain types was a lack of information. This probably also pertains to markings as well I imagine.
All this being said, I'm sure I'll find whatever they release interesting.

I still think this is a likely option Dave. As said - going on past history WNW play their cards
very close regarding 'new' models. "Something of an Australian nature" leads me to think that that 'nod' will be a re-issue - what it could be remains to be seen but on the scale of it an RE8 would be an extremely popular choice.
That said I don't believe this refers to the new kits 'in development' - take a look at the numbers. The 'new kit in development' announcement are in the single kit series - 32043, 32044, 32062. (and that doesn't include the Halberstadt (32049)) The Duellists series prefix with an 8 and the new celebrity ones with a 6.
So hopefully, this means what it says - three new aircraft - in development - over coming months
All will be revealed this weekend. Ah thank goodness we don't have to wait for long then before our anticipation is rewarded.
