ridinshotgun Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) So I am looking to perhaps take my first foray into a stringbag but not sure exactly what I am about to get myself into! I want to build a model of something that the US air corp used. In looking for one of those I have narrowed it to either a Gaspatch or WNW model of a Salmson. My question is what would be a better kit to build? The Gaspatch or the WNW? I know there is the scale difference and a decent price difference but that isn't much of a concern. Looking for best quality followed by easiest build. Thanks! Edited January 17, 2019 by ridinshotgun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridinshotgun Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Thanks but no German. I have zero interest in German and not spending money on it if I have no interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Well, I have built to say from my experience, WNW is an excellent product and a joy to build. Choice is yours but I think they have something you can get into. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcap Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have no experience of Gaspatch models (their AM parts are superb however) but with any WNW product, you are buying into the premier league of model kits. I have built about 7 now and every single one of them has been a delight to assemble. Buy the WNW Salmson with 100% confidence I would suggest as you DO get what you pay for with those kits!

ridinshotgun Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Thanks for the input. It looks like I will go with a WNW model then. In that case I might also look at one their Camel models with the USAS markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be prepared however to be converted by your first WNW build and spend a great deal of money in the future buying their kits. Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already spend too much on my 1/48 aircraft and 1/35 armor modelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
