LSP_Mike Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The RNAS version of the Pup is now listed as sold out. There is still the RFC version, so get 'em while they're hot. From WNW website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Damn. I had a special paint scheme pencilled in for one as well - I bet you'll never be able to guess..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Since they went out of stock had to order one from HLJ. Cheaper than the one I seen listed on ebay. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aptivaboy Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 They've claimed in the past that they'll never repop their kits, but I doubt that's true. They emailed out a year or so back about a special issue Harry Tate with extra goodies, pilot figures, decals, etc., and there's nothing stopping them from repopping them in their Duelists range. I think we won't see them in their current incarnations and decal choices, but we will see them again. What sane businessman turns down sales? I have two Pups in the stash. I just wish I'd grabbed a Triplane before they went away - only one in the stash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 This is all good news - another sell-out means sales success - which hopefully leads to investment in new tools! Iain mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babelfish Steve Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 There has been talk of these "special editions" for some time now (at least since the W.29 first went OOP) but all we've seen so far has been that one reissued as a "duellist" set with the Felixtowe. I agree that they will probably reappear in some form in the future, but on the other hand I'm not holding my breath. - Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnarg Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 You snooze, you lose. On the other hand, there are so many kits and so little time. I guess I need to stop AMS and just build them. But the research is so fun that it distracts me from completion. Tnarg kalashnikov-47 and Iain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The RNAS Pup kit is identical with the RFC kit except for the decal set. Use the Pheon decals and you're all set. Doesn't it have different parts for the different gun arrangement for the naval Pups? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 An important factor regarding the Special Edition kits: they are certain kits only, and WNW has never said they would release all as S/E kits. The W-29, Brisfit, and Ninack, are listed, but not all kits are slated for re-release. The W-29 is released in the Duellist set, but not as a special Edition.

Dave J Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yes, the parts are different between the boxings. There is a extra sprue in the RNAS boxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The much vaunted special editions have been on the slate for at least 5 years, promising lots of extra PE and decal offerings. And so far they've released exactly none. I seem to remember that they said they's offer things like PE rigging. Maybe the fact that I've yet to see a successful build using the stuff has put them off. Plus HGW have stolen their thunder to a degree with the PE sets they have, whilst Pheon have cornered the decal market. Plus, of course, the longer the wait goes on, the more people will buy the existing kits. Perhaps WNW have just decided to concentrate on the new tooling they have - after all, they have an awful lot on the go and they are a small organisation. How many special editions would they actually sell? It's a niche market and, if for instance I have the current kit, I'd not pay (substantially) more for essentially the same kit with some PE & different decals.

Babelfish Steve Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) I seem to remember that they said they's offer things like PE rigging. I can't think of anything worse than PE rigging. Up there alongside PE chains in the pantheon of terrible ideas. - Steve Edited May 19, 2015 by Babelfish Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 How many special editions would they actually sell? If the S/E contain a WnW kit, exactly a CRAP TON is how many they'll sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 If the S/E contain a WnW kit, exactly a CRAP TON is how many they'll sell. Depends upon the price, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
