LSP_K2 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Bummer. I always intended to grab one somewhere down the line. I guess I can forget that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince14 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I hadn't noticed earlier, but the Albatros D.Va (OAW) has also sold out. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 The rate of "sold out"'s at WNW seems to have slowed quite dramatically. Last year it seemed to be a kit every month would disappear - until the mythical "Special Editions" of course - now there has been quite a while since a sold out sign appeared. Only a matter of time before $300 Gotha's appear on EBay - and get sold, which amazes my simple mind. I think there are some OAW's available in the US and NZ warehouses?

do335b6 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 HLJ still has a few Gothas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Had a quick look at Hannants, no Gotha's there. I noticed their WNW stock has fallen massively. I'm not surprised when the cheapest kit they offer is £100 for a Fokker E.II and they are asking £150 for an Fe.2b! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichenson Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I hadn't noticed earlier, but the Albatros D.Va (OAW) has also sold out. It is not completely sold out. You can still get one if you are in the US or NZ. They have a preorder up which probably means it is in transit. Hopefully, it is in transit with some surprises.

LSP_K2 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 According to my list, that makes 15 kits that are now sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib2265 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 HLJ might have them for awhile - they still have "all sold out" Sopwith Triplanes for 11,500 Yen - thats only $100USD plus shipping: http://hlj.com/product/WNG32008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Seem like the whole WNW marketing has been "sold out" for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I have been on the fence for quite a while thinking about the Felixstowe. On the one hand, I love the subject matter and the model would make a grand display piece to be the jewel in my collection crown. On the other hand, it's a lot of work, a nightmare of rigging, and the wings are 3 feet long. It's just enormous. This is why I have been on the fence! To buy or not to buy, that is the question. It is getting to the point with the sold out kits that I think I have to just suck it up and buy one so as to preserve my ability to maybe build it some day. If I don't, I can always sell on Ebay.

LSP_K2 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 For me, space is always a consideration. The good news is, my buddy and myself will be going 50/50 on a big display case in the next year or so, and I'll be able to display what little I actually have finished, in that.

LSP_K2 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Make it 30" deep and you can have a Gotha or Felixstowe in there as well. I certainly have 30" of depth where I'm proposing to put it. It can't be much wider than 5' though, but I''ll figure all that out when the time comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
