ringleheim Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 It's getting close to that time of year when Wingnut Wings seems to release one or more new kits. I guess the next kit up is expected to be the Sopwith Camel. Does anyone think they will also announce a surprise release around Christmas time as they have done in the past? If so, any guesses what it might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The Camel will include at least one set of USAS markings. I'm hoping for a 2F.1 Camel, and would like to see a Sopwith baby, Short seaplane, Junkers D.1 and a Fokker DVIII.

Tnarg Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Don't count on the release until just days before it's too late to order in time for Christmas delivery. If it isn't a Camel, then maybe we could see the BE.2C and E that have some press in recent WIndsock Datafiles. Although if the Datafiles are the guide, I'd really like to see that Aviatik Berg D.I as a surprise. Tnarg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I am four kits behind so I will pick up the next kit(s) early January,etc. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esarmstrong Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Dr.I for me, Mike, but I'm not real optimistic. It really seems such an obvious choice to release a Camel & a Fokker tripe as one of those Duelists boxings, complete with Roy Brown and Von Richtofen markings. Then again, they could easily just repop the Se.5a with a Fokker F.1 as part of a Duelist set featuring Werner Voss and Rhys Davids and/or McCudden.

LSP_Ron Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Dr.I for me, Mike, but I'm not real optimistic. Me too, I love their kits but my eyes fail me, rigging just isn't fun anymore because I get so frustrated with not being able to focus on really small stuff well and the mag light looses dept perception so "hitting the hole" with EZ line is next to impossible for me now.

petrov27 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hoping for a surprise - they have been pretty quiet for a long time now compared to past years releases.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 I hope we get something as a surprise we have not heard about. Would love to see a Dr.1 as well. My vote goes for the Caudron G.4 bomber. Such a neat aircraft and it would be something like 9" x 21" which is big enough to be impressive but not impossible to display.

Daywalker Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Would love to see an E.V / D.VIII, Hanriot HD.1, Avro 504K and a Bristol Scout. MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 The DR.1 and Camel combo is a no brainer. A Be.2c and Taube duellist set would be cool as well. Observers standing up and waving 6 shooters at each other would be priceless. Yep, that's a duelist set that I'd really enjoy. As to the Taube, I'd probably have to have one of those too.

LSP_Mike Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 The Roden Dr-1 is a good kit. As is the Roden SPAD VII. I'm not sure how much WNW could improve the Roden kit. A little I suppose, but there are lots of other types I'd rather see. Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little I suppose, but there are lots of other types I'd rather see. While I agree the Roden kit is quite acceptable, to me it's the same as saying Hasegawa already does a nice ki-61, so one from Tamiya wouldn't be desired. No matter how decent the Roden kit is, a WNW example would almost certainly be better and in almost every area. Since the Dr.I is one of my absolute all time favorite WWI machines (the D.VII being the other), I want the absolute best there is. (I've still not yet started the Dr.I/F.I that I got from you, Mike, but one day,...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 My money is on a Be2 as well. a Hanriot HD1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any variant of the latter will do, but a K boxing and a post-War N boxing would really make my day. wunwinglow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
