Steve Coombs Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Just got the Eduard Udet Du Doch Nicht! triple boxing. The kits are old favourites, and the decal sheets are magnificent. The WW1 version of Lo! visibility? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Wingnut Wings “Black Beauties” Albatross boxing. A gift from my daughter when she heard me lament about probably never getting one now that they're probably going under for good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbjorn Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) In April Norway removed the tax exemption for small low-value packages, which with tax and handling fees increases cost of models with about 50%. So when others were hoarding toilet paper I took this last opportunity to hamster plastic kits at decent prices. The Great War part was, let’s see now: 3x Roden Sopwith camels 6x Roden Albatros, mostly different boxings (I like albatroses 🥴) Special hobby Lloyd C.V Eduard D.VII profipack + one MAG overtree Kowossname Albatros C.III Arma Hobby Fokker E.V A Chorozy Salmson was in my shopping basket when the Polish post locked down Plus AK interactive German paints set - I’m tired of mixing those weird colours Edited April 11, 2020 by Torbjorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melvyn hiscock Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I just panic bought some WNW before the prices start to climb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Well done Melvyn. 👍 Edited April 11, 2020 by europapete spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieW Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Yep, just panic bought another Triplane, Clergey Camel, Snipe, Albatross and Pfalz. Being self employed with no income for the foreseeable future this reflects how highly I regard these kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Paw Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) I have celebrated the the very bad news about what may be happening to Wingnut wings by purchasing their biggest turkey in the shop. - GOTHA UWD rrp.£199.99 (32053) My thought was if I am going to buy one of these esoteric beauties then I may as well get the float version. I am not sure how many companies will be doing the likes of this. There again I wonder how many WNW have left of these? It is a spectacular model when constructed. Andrew.

RichieW Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 The nice people from Hannants just delivered the WNW Snipe, Tripe and Clereget Camel. Pfalz and Abatros en route. There goes all the money saved by not going out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodai Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) I got a good deal on a 1/16 Model Airways Sopwith Camel, and it arrived here in the last few days. Not sure when it will ever get on the bench, as it is a major commitment, but it was too nice to pass up. With this one, the Hasegawa kit, and the Artist in a Latrine (Artesania Latina) one, there seems to be quite a bit of choice for those desiring a 1/16 Camel.

KITCAT Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Just got another WnW Albatros' J18 and have ordered Wnw Tripe Hound and HB W12 from a well known northern model shop. I'd better get a move on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbjorn Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Some of you lot must have been buying up WNW kits, at the big H for example the FE2 stock went from almost 20 to 7 in only a couple of days. You are making me stressed. Edited April 16, 2020 by Torbjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARHinVA Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Goering Fokker DVII & DFW Mid-Production from Sprue Bros (they shipped it out 4 hrs later(!)) Taube was sold out 😒 Really hoping that someone buys / borrows the molds for the HP O/100 (or better yet O/400). I need something to balance out the the AEG in the stash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the brown box kits, pilot figure boxings and a few of the recent kits, there is little left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TempestV Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I ordered a WnW Halberstadt on Friday as Hannants still had it on special offer at £85 Such a gorgeous looking plane, and if that is my last WnW kit i will at least be happy. I have already built the Pfalz D.III, LVG CVI, Rumpler and Se5 so I feel lucky if I am honest! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicPlastic Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) I went to the local hobby shop last Saturday to see if they had any WNW kits left and to my surprise they still had a Gotha G.1 on the shelves. Almost the last WNW kit standing, everything else was mostly gone (and they used to have quite a mixed stash of them). A huge model, but boy, what a beauty. I just couldn't resist and spent some carefully saved $$ on that kit. Now standing proudly in my hobby room waiting to be build.

Torbjorn Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) I’d love a Gotha, but they are just too big. I’ll put my guess on the Göring kit, that was an odd choice to make a figure of. Edited April 21, 2020 by Torbjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll put my guess on the Göring kit, that was an odd choice to make a figure of. I thought the Göring Fokker was an odd choice by WnW too but it has proved to be more popular that the Barker Snipe that was released at the same time. I suspect that is more to do with it being a D.VIIF than because of the fat man that comes with it, I have grabbed one for myself for that very reason. Just got to find some nice aftermarket decals for it now. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Paw Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I have had my eye on the Salmson 2-A2 for a few years as it is the only example of that lovely french camouflage in the Wingnuts range. So with the news of the demise of Wingnuts I have just received this kit. It is very good with an interesting Japanese version. Andrew. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melvyn hiscock Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) My Goering DVIIF was just because it was an F as I will make the Memorial Flight version, that is if Hannants come back about the broken parts ps anyone want a figure of the Fat Man?
