vince14 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Here's the latest releases from WNW... DH.9a (Post War) http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/product?productid=3095 Albatros B.II (Early) http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/9058133B9476CB86B043FBC08D16611A The Albatros looks superb - the kit includes etched brass for the spoked wheels, and woodgrain decals for the fuselage! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcap Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Excellent choice with the Alb BII early.....I wonder if the Camel will dip over the finish line just in time for Christmas as well? Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I want the Ninak - if only to do H72/C with everything but (including?) the kitchen sink strapped on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSLion Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 For what it's worth, the first shipment of both are now sold out. Next shipment expected mid-December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary I think the Camel is more likely to be Christmas 2016... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSLion Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Or March. They seem to have the design in a pretty advanced stage. The Fokker D.VII was introduced in March, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince14 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 I think it'll be much later than March. The image on their website isn't exactly that advanced - there's no actual model mock-up as we had with the AEG/Post-War Brisfit & Ninak - and it still says 'expected' 2016, which to my mind means it could even slip into 2017.

HMSLion Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Possibly. Having said that, I still think WNW has something up their sleeve. I'm going to do some old-fashioned intelligence estimation here...If we take the price of a kit as a relative indicator of the amount of design work that goes into it, we can make a guess at what WNW can do. Assume a single-engine, single-seat airplane = 1. This means a single-engine 2-seat airplane = 1.5, a multi-engine airplane = 3. WNW's total annual design capability = 6. Now, WNW used up the last of their 2014 design work with the AEG. The postwar Brisfit and DH.9 combined are ~1. The Albatros = 1.5. WNW has used up about half their design capacity. So I'm sanguine about something coming out in March. Be2c, if I were to bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince14 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 I certainly wouldn't rule out the BE2c, given the 'WNW Box Art Rule'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
