Mach Turtle Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Hi. Wingnut Wings hasn't released any new kits in a couple of years, hasn't updated their website in at least as long, and seems to have handed off their distribution to Weta Workshop, whoever they are. Is Wingnut Wings a going concern, or was it its owner's tribute to the hundredth anniversary of the Great War, now concluded?

malpaso Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Well they've just released their Camel and announced a Taube. And on the principle they have modelled the each of the adversaries shown in their box art, a BE2 must be on the cards at some point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach Turtle Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Ah. Missed the Camel. It's not under News, as new releases used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach Turtle Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Still, they seem to be slowing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceB Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Perhaps this will shed some light? http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/83426192/Weta-Workshop-partners-with-Peter-Jacksons-Wingnut-Wings Wingnut Wings is the scale model kit company owned by one Sir Peter Jackson. They are assisted in designing kits by The Vintage Aviator, Ltd., a New Zealand company that restores WWI aircraft and manufactures replicas, founded by one Sir Peter Jackson. Weta Workshop was, in part at least, initiated by one Sir Peter Jackson and works with him on all his films (his film production company, by the way, is WingNut films). Hopefully this makes it all clearer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewfl290 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Lots of chat in this topic, The WNW Camel is Coming! Seems distributing through Weta was a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Wingnut Wings is very much alive and kicking. Camels are inbound to Europe as I type and there are new kits including the Taube due for release in the 2nd quarter of 2017. They will also be releasing another edition of their very popular Fokker D.VII in 2017. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach Turtle Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Sorry guys, I guess I missed the Camel and it's good to see they're still going. I knew they were started by a Hollywood guy, but I don't really follow popular culture and so wasn't aware that Weta Workshop was another of the founder's companies. Happy to have started a pun thread in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
