Robert Stuart Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Somebody said something French - what about Maurice Farman, Long Horn and Short Horn - very delicate to kit in 1/48, but maybe possible in 1/32? Rigger's delight - obviously - but used by several services including RFC, RNAS and French service: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farman_MF.7 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farman_MF.11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz greenwood Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I know I don't model in this scale, but for something different how about a Voisin III? A delicate kit in 1/72nd (my dad had one). But might be a bit sturdier in 1/32nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfisti Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 We worked out the Wingspan of a Zeppelin Staaken to be a mere 52 inches in 1:32 Thats large,but I actually meant an airship Lol!

Terry McGrady Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Howzabowt something really new? Flogging them from a UK address?W With you on that one . Until they do I'll stick with Roden Kits from Polish sources- Like £31 for a Pfalz No Duty or VAT or Parcelforce charges since Poland is in EU.

Cheers Terry McGrady You do realise that adding another link to the supply chain will significantly increase the price? another warehouse, more stock on shelves (=dead money), someone else that needs a profit margin? Will very likely make yout VAT and import duty seem cheap by comparison..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will very likely make yout VAT and import duty seem cheap by comparison..... You have a valid point, but there again I'm not really on the WingnutsWings bandwagon . So for me its a bit of a moot point . Beautiful kits to be sure . I can live with the cheaper alternatives. though WNW has certainly rekindled an interest in WWI A/C for many .

Dave. I worked out some measurements for one of those. A 1:32 Zeppelin would have a length of just over 6 metres with a diameter of 0.75 metres. Now that's Big!

TimC Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 There are 2 Polish sellers on Ebay that sell the Roden kits from £24 upwards depending on the kit, I have bought a few from them now. Occasionaly they do auction style as well which can give even greater savings if successful. There postage charges are pretty reasonable as well, no more than some UK suppliers. Just do a search for the Roden kits and look for the ones based in Poland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDriskill Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Here's a second vote for the Macchi M.5, to my eye the most beautiful flying machine of them all in that era. I love their choice of subjects so far mind you, but I'm a little surprised WNW has not yet tackled more of the old stalwarts--SPAD's, Nieuports, Fokkers, Camel, etc. I know some are available from other makers, but I'd bet that wouldn't hurt sales much. Let's be honest WNW's standards have a way of making their competition irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I seem to be going through a Wingnut Wings phase at the moment, so apologies for starting yet another WNW thread.Which WW1 aircraft would you like to see WNW produce? Keep it to ones that aren't thought to be currently on the bench and coming soon. Sopwith (no not a Camel) Dolphin (even though I'd never heard of it till a couple of days ago). Vickers Gun Bus Martinsyde G100 Handley Page 0/400 And at the silly end: Zeppelin Staaken (makes the Gotha look like a Pup) Sopwith Dolphin - yes. It would save me from having to start a (1/28th) scratchbuild using bits from the Revell Camel and Spad. Then again, if I started that it would almost certainly guarantee one from WNW ... AW FK-8 Vimy 0/400 (but where would you store it?) Spad 7 and/or 13 Nieuport FE-2B At the silly end - Blackburn Kangaroo (so I can do the Wilkins aircraft). IIRC they've already said they won't do a Camel because the Roden one is good enough - suspect the same might apply to a Sopwith Triplane (although we can hope!).

Bristol fighter 48th £15.49 delivered . Won on a Sunday , received by the following Friday . Cheers Terry McGrady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folkbox1 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Looks like the Sopwith Snipe is currently favourite. If we discount the possiblitly of them doing a Camel, as has been reported, following closely behind are the 1 1/2 strutter, 0/400 and Vickers Vimy (with a wingspan of approx 37.5 inches).

You say that but there are lots of parts on the Pup sprues to make a Triplane, i was discussing this Sunday with a couple of people from the MK club.
