Steve Coombs Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I've just received the latest News from Wingnut Wings e-mail and am intrigued by the contents. It starts off by mentioning the Scale Models Expo in NZ, and availability of the new Junkers D. 1 kit. And then there is this: Quote If everything goes according to plan between now and 21 April we should also have something else to announce at the show, so keep your eyes open. I should imagine most of us will be aware of the centenary of a particular event on that date, and a kit to remember it by would probably sell exceedingly well. Of course, the announcement could be something completely different! It's going to be an interesting wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSLion Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Let the speculation begin! :-) Seriously, I really can't predict which way WNW will jump. Yes, there is the centennial of the von Richtoven shootdown...but that's too obvious. WNW likes to spring surprises on us. A BE.2C? Possible, they've certainly been on an Early War German kick. Nieuport 17? It's been rumored - though the Copper State announcement may spike that idea. Fokker D.VIII? Possible, but I'd bet on an Allied type. Hanriot HD.1? TVAL just built one, and it's the sort of "doesn't get any respect" type that WNW likes. DH-5? Strong ANZAC connections, I can believe it would have appeal.

Philby72 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 perhaps the long awaited AVRO 504K which would be my favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Oh no, I can feel one of my headaches coming on . I await the announcement with baited breath. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FZ6 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) I've just started to build a Roden Fokker DR.I so I'm sure they'll release one now! The following aircraft are on my wish list. Armstrong Whitworth F.K.8 B.E.2C Vickers Gun Bus Bristol Scout I'm sure whatever they announce out will be gratefully received. It also looks like they've found a few sold out kits in the warehouse and will be selling these at the show as well.

Ted Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 That's exciting news. I guess a Dr.I makes sense to commemorate that centennial, as they already produce Captain Brown's Camel. I hope it's a B.E.2C, Bleriot XI, or ship's Camel or Pup that can be built folded and disassembled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Nezumi Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 WNW has yet to do a DH-4. I'd like to see them do a Lloyd C.V as the bare wood finish would be great in 1/32. Though knowing WNW, whatever they bring out it won't be anything that we predict or hope for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see WNW tackle one of these: Hansa-Brandenburg D.I An Ernst Heinkel design, no less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Paw Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 The one thing for sure is that I can not begin to start to predict what the announcement will be for the next Wingnut Wings model! I have been really pleased with the out put so far as I preference for the German types for the simple reason being they are much more interesting to paint. So......

Viking Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 " between now and 21 April we should also have something else to announce" 21 April 1918 - Manfred Von Richthofen shot down and killed. I'd guess that Fokker DR.1 in MvR's markings is a strong candidate. Here's hoping! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamB Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'll be going to this show as usual. Probably spend a bit of pocket money at the WNW stand - hard to resist when they are right in front of you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony C Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) As I stated in the post around Christmas time, O/400 plus Short 184 or an FK.8 but equally, I'd go for a Gunbus, Bristol Scout or BE.2! Edited April 6, 2018 by Tony C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichO Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Could you imagine an 0/400 at 1/32 scale? Another kit wing span of 3 feet or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
