What I would like WNW to produce in 1/32 scale.

No, Not the WW2 Japanese Val and/or Kate. Those are the wrong war.

I would like to see these aeroplanes from War One.

1) Maurice Farman MF.11 OR The Farman F 40 with the rounded nose

.

These early aircraft were used by the French, British, Belgians, Italians, and Australians during the early years of the war, 1914-1916.

The average modeler knows the French Spad and Nieuport fighters but little else from France in WW!. Many more interesting aircraft flew throughout the war and maybe now, thanks to WNW we will get some more French types as models in 1/32 scale.

 

2) The Avro 504. This aeroplane started as a recon and light bomber by the RFC and the RNS in 1914 and flew combat missions until retired to be trainers in 1915-16. In 1917-18 Many were converted to be single seat fighters and assigned to the Home Defense role. The British continued to fly it as a trainer until the early 1930's. After the war many were sold to private interests and were flown under various color schemes. The aircraft was also used in its many marks through the late 1930's by 50 countries. Think of all the decal sheets that can be made for this airplane!

I have been selling off all my WW2 prop jobs and later sky suckers (jets) to be able to buy more WW1 aircraft by WNW, Roden and others. I guess I am hooked.
