Dave J Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Strange, I just paid $18 for one kit to Dallas, TX... Cost of shipping is done by weight. The AEG is a heavy kit, its 1.6kgs. Where most of the Single & Double seaters are under 1kg. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockie Yarwood Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Just received the DH.9a (post war) and the AEG G.IV Early. Except for a small tear in each boxtop and "WD" scrawled on the covers, they are both in 100% perfect condition! Thank you Wingnut Wings! Happy Modeling, Rockie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Agreed Hubert. If nothing else, it deserves an honorable mention for sure. The Brits seem to, on a semi regular basis, produce aircraft that are so incredibly bloody ugly as to be almost pity worthy, if not approaching admirable. I'm sure though that the Brits know something we, the great unwashed, don't however. I expect their aircraft are much more efficient, having no real need for drag producing wings and all. They're so incredibly, completely, unspeakably ugly that the earth simply repels them into the sky. Handley Page Harrow, anyone? Lol, I have thought the same...how can a country that produced some of the most beautiful aircraft in the world also produce the fugliest? But then again, they produced Jeremy Clarkson and Sienna Miller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Won't this get your screen wet ?......Harv The new touch/lick screen, still in the experimental stages I hear, but Ernst may be a Beta tester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Got my AEG today, except for a few dinks in the boxtop, and the aforementioned "WD" written on top, it looks nearly new. Inside parts still sealed. WNW included a free book as well. Nice to have a model company that cares about modellers and maintains a good relationship with them.

Phantom2 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Got mine yesterday The boxes are slightly damaged, but the contents are in pristine condition! But hey, I don´t collect boxes, I could have bought then without the boxes altogether. The instructionbook was missing in the Rumpler kit tough, but I have one more so that´s OK with me. Two nice kits for less then half the price from Hannants, and that includes Shipping and VAT! Only wish I had bought more.... Many thanks to WNW for giving us the opportunity to get these kits so cheap! Stefan Edited September 18, 2017 by Phantom2 LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It's a shame to have that fantastic box art ruined in that fashion, but they're still great bargains. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I guess it was so people couldn't resell - on ebay? - and make a profit. The Dude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Clunkmeister Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I have no problems with it. I like to build models, not speculate on them. I have a big stash, but I hardly ever sell anything, just trade and occasionally gift one. Other than that, they're made for building and that's what happens.

But Wingnut Wings' box art really is art, and it's a shame to see it defaced this way, however necessary or inconsequential. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It's a surprise they've not produced a calendar featuring them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Kevin, I actually plan on framing an example of each box art I have. But I'm not sure if I should do it with the ends, etc, or just the front picture, because you're right, those pictures ARE art in every sense.

ringleheim Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I may start to make color photocopies of the box tops I really like. I have noticed using a high quality professional grade machine can yield very nice results....Maybe pop them in and out of a standard size frame for a rotation of sorts in my model making room.

1to1scale Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I got my Rumpler C.IV early today, box was demolished crushed on every corner so bad that I worried the plastic inside was broken, but it was not. I did have to pull the box apart to get the sprues out, but they were ok. Decals and instructions were also ok. They even threw in a book on the Hisso...which they are now twisting my arm to buy one. I wished I took advantage of some earlier kits available, as I procrastinated so long there were only two kits available at the end. Nevertheless, I have three kits now and three on the way.
