tomthounaojam Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I am getting a wapiti when it comes out, seen a one in real look massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Looking forward to these two, I hope they realise that the Wallace fuselage is not just a longer Wapiti one. A Wallace II would really be nice with the canopy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Asked Dora Wing guys on the Wapiti/Wallace release date today at their stand at ModellBrno. The answer was a shrug and an uncertain giggle. So unless the Ukrainian body language differs significantly from the rest of Europe (and in fact, I am quite sure it does not), we should stop holding our breath for the 2019 release.

We are waiting for John Aero to complete his research and complete his wonderful blueprints. During our meeting in Telford, he had little to do. Unfortunately, some health problems (I think so) do not allow him to complete his work. We would not like to make a model according to other plans (in fact, there are no good ones). Therefore, we can only wait. Edited June 15, 2019 by dora 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Wallace Mk II TT is very sexy. I made scratch conversion of Frog/Novo Wallace More here: Cheers J-W 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not worry, I (I believe we all) can wait, I have years of models in my stash. And after you make the Wapiti/Wallace, try opening another can of worms, the Fairey IIIF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought a Frog Wallace at a show recently only to realise, when I looked into it, that there's considerably more to converting it into a TT.II than I thought. That canopy is terrifying.

Mr T Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 . I was thinking of a bomber MkII as they were used by 504 Sqn, the fuselage held by the RAFM is a II and there would be a fair bit of work so all cred to J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to wrestle with that lobster back - it looks like it wasn't always fitted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I need a lie down I should think so too,to anyone who knows anything about interwar air ministry aircraft naming policy it woud have been patently obviouos that the Grommet was a Gloster product and had nothing to do with Westlands.

I understand if you can't share any details. I've been checking back over this thread over the past few years to keep track as I would eagerly await a 1/48 Wapiti kit. My great grandfather flew these so I'd love to build a Wapiti. It's an important aircraft and was not even treated by wingnut wings so the only modelling option is a 1/72 Frog conversion!

Graham Boak Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 There is an excellent CMR Wapiti. Not being a WW1 aircraft, it isn't surprising that Wingnut Wings didn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Only just seen this, but a Wapiti from Dora would be something to look forward to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being a WW1 aircraft, it isn't surprising that Wingnut Wings didn't do it. The CMR kit is an option, indeed, but a rare one. I believe only one has sold on eBay in the past 6 months. Personally I would like a lineup of numerous Wapitis to match those in my family's service photographs - an unusual project I admit but you'll appreciate why I am hopeful for an injection kit. I mention wingnut wings because they did a postwar DH.9A Ninak, which served alongside the wapiti for a time and had parts commonality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
