Jonners Wotcha mucker, Lovely init? See this is what happens when I go and design decals for a Hawker Hurricane.......... First decals for the Albatros from me will be for Jasta 5's Ltn. Rumey's Devil with green/grey chequers on both wings and the fuselage - will include our first masks for the red stripe on the green tail as well. Another set will follow for a few more Jasta 5 machines, including Ltn. Wolf's Bavarian blue diamond one Rumey's top and Wolf's below: The tail masks will be available seperately as well, as from the box top, WNW are including at least one Jasta 5 option in the DV box. Can't wait to get my paws on this kit! Pups will also be done, but many of the choices on the Pheon 72nd and 48th scale sets will most likely be done by WNW, I think, so I have a few "special ones" up my sleeve........

John Aero Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Rowan, you are out there somewhere!. Got a new telephonic communication yet? I have my 504A propeller and it has some genuine PC.10 on it. Also I have received an interesting RE.8 pic. Best regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendrik Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) That's great news - I have built the first 4 releases (with varying success!). Continuing free postage is great news, but import duty is still an issue - it added £10 -15 to the cost of the first releases. The price reduction from £79 to $59 will really ease the pain! I love the Albatros; I have 3 examples in 1/48 - a 1/32 example is a must... Hendrik Edited February 21, 2010 by hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousAA74 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I have to say that the Albatros D.V is superb. The rendering of the wing ribs and fabric to the exhaustively detailed engine bay is thoroughly exacting. The pre and post restoration photos show the tremendous work that the Wingnuts team have gone to. Review should be up tomorrow night, followed by the Sopwith Pup RNAS sometime later this week.

Doug Rogers Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I don't normally do 1/32 scale, but I think I may have to have one of those Sopwith Pups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennings Heilig Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) Rowan, you are a bad, bad man. A very naughty man indeed. You're going to force me to buy an Albatross aren't you? Now, do I get a D.V or a D.Va?? J PS: Are those Jasta 5 machines D.V's or D.Va's Rowan??? Edited March 23, 2010 by Jennings Heilig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Did you guys see this: http://www.hyperscale.com/2010/features/wwinterviewdw_1.htm I dont do 1.32 or WWI but I am seriously thinking about getting one of these. I wish they would get a UK distributor but looking at that article its not going to happen. Now how big is that Gotha! Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesteel Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 My Wingnuts RFC Sopwith Pup has just shipped from NZ But I too would like to see a UK distributor, especially if they drop the free shipping. Shipping + UK Customs is going to up the price considerably. I have had a brief email conversation with Dave Johnson @ Wingnuts and asked that they at least consider somewhere such as Hannants as a distributor for the UK.

gcn Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 If they drop the free shipping they should reduce the price for exports as they are not paying local VAT on their export sales. Without looking i'd say this would roughly even each other out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcn Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 my pup and albatros are now safely tucked away in the stash. I've a feeling the Pup is going to get built rather soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Broadbent Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Well my box of New Zealand Delight turned up here en France this morning. VAT? c'est quoi ca? Handling charge? naaah, pas ici!!!! If this is going to be the norm (and that's five WNW kits delivered here without any of the old UK nonsense since we moved in December) then if anyone wants to put me down as their delivery address, I'm over for the Hendon show in May, and my delivery charges are well cheap, innit. Seriously if any UK based Wingnut-a-philes want me to receive their kits on their behalf, I'm happy to do so - within reason. Of course if I do get clobbered for TAV (that's VAT to you lot) you don't get the kit until you've coughed up the readies - and it's 19.3% here.....(I think... though how would I know? I haven't had to pay it!! YIPPEEEE!!!). Moi, gloat? jamais!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
