593jones Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I'd be a very happy man if the Lancaster nose section were to be released (whole aircraft much too big for me!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Can we stick to the topic, rather than turning this into a long and dreary wish list thread please? Whenever there’s a new kit announcement that’s a secret, everyone dusts off and trots out their own personal wish list, and then that runs the risk of people falling out over whose baseless speculation is the correct one 10 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABeck Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 7 hours ago, Harold55 said: I think the comment referring to "bread & butter" issue is would they come out with something that has broad appeal. Although these would most likely be previously kitted they would have a high sales potential provided they have an excellent product vs. and esoteric example of an aircraft never kitted previously. My hope is they have an excellent product with should give them the confidence to come out initially with a "bread & butter" model that will allow them to stay in business long enough to produce some more esoteric aircraft in the long run. There are just some aircraft that are needed to keep the lights on. Thanks! There are still "bread & butter" gaps to be filled in 1/32, more than enough to earn good money and to ensure a long company life. In case of WWII: P-47 Razorback, P-38, Allison P-51s, Griffon Spits, Hurricane, 109 A,B,C,D,E,K, 110 G and others, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 They appear to be going for quality (accuracy and detail for experienced modelers) but with build simplicity to make the model(s) appeal to novices. Something akin to the latest buildability trend from Tamiya but entirely different subjects. I'm not so sure we'll see some of the original Wingnut Wings stuff coming from these folks.

SleeperService Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Not my scale but I'm very happy for fans of the scale and era that a resurgence may happen. Being a little selfish it may generate interest in the subject such that others follow in other scales, there is plenty of potential an R.E.8 in 1/48 would be good as it was the reason the RAF was needed. Obviously there are plenty of 1/32 gaps yet to be filled so a good market you'd hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky210 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Hope they do a 1/32 Hurricane which isn’t multi media can’t believe we still only have the old Revell kit as the only injection moulded option 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And looks good too! And in the meantime this does provide an excellent reference for my pending 1/48 Lanc project. Much as I would have liked to, I've reconciled myself to the fact I was never realistically going to get the 1/32 kit (too big, too expensive for me) but I do really love admiring the quality of the designer's work on this (and 3 or 4 early WNW kits still in my stash...) - inspirational. So I, for one, hope it makes into production somewhere; such craftsmanship deserves to be rewarded and I think it raises the bar for other manufacturers . I wonder if their future range will be exclusively 1/32? Rich Edited August 18, 2021 by RichG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin ritchie Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 WW2 models begging for models in 1/32 don't have to include the usual suspects , so how about Hurricane (All versions) Blenheim Beaufort Beaufighter Brigand Barracuda Firebrand Firefly That should keep u going for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spruecutter96 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I wish this new company every success in their new venture. I see that several of the staff are ex-Wingnut Wings. Considering the disgusting way they were treated by their old management, they really deserve a run of good luck. Cheers. Chris. PS: I REALLY hope they produce a Flokka-Plokka 9,000,003 "Model-K" (tongue most-definitely-in-cheek, here.

Ray S Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 It will be very interesting to see how they progress with a new line of kits, whatever subjects they may choose to do. What with these and Beacon Models, it looks like Wingnut Wings quality will live on. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrB17 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Good news is welcome in the modelling community. It’s encouraging that exWNW individuals who have such incredible talent, are not sitting around twiddling their thumbs. Happy 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEXANTOMCAT Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 So there seems to be two images on the press release from the new kit- anyone have an educated guess as to what they represent? TT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
