MikeC Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I'm liking the Kosciuszco Squadron and Donner-Wetter schemes, and those US "camels on the camel" schemes look nice too. And we get a chance to by another LVG, should we not have enough in the stash. What's not to like? I can only hope for more aftermarket decals (or maybe make my own) for a Georgian or Estonian camel, Sylvestre (with Cleopatra and the snake on the side) and that crazy red white and blue machine. We don't need to settle for a boring scheme, that's for sure. (not to offend those who love history more than color). Tnarg No offence taken. I love history, I love those crazy training schemes too. I may well attempt (if I'm feeling brave) "that crazy red white and blue machine" but if there's ever a decal shett for Cleopatra's asp (yes Pheon, looking at you) that's the one for me. I foresee at least two Camels in my future. If I buy more than two MrsC may get the hump (sorry). wunwinglow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Smitty44 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Yep, Dr.I's on both, making at least three kits now that depict the Triplane on them. Well excuse me!! How about a little piling on, dang!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I keep a running list, and many kit numbers have been skipped up to now. This certainly implies that many more are scheduled for eventual release, and that's a very intriguing notion. Some seemed to speculate that WNW is 'down for the count' but I strongly suspect that couldn't be further from the truth of the matter. I agree. They've had a very, very quiet year & messed up the re-pricing & shipping charges debacle. But, like you, I think they've an absolute shedload of new kits to come out, as and when, that we've not even contemplated. I mean, they kit two 1/32 Felixstowe's and nobody had a Scooby's until they appeared on the WNW website. They kit six - SIX - Camels, and again, no leak of any sort, except that they wanted to know one was on it's way. Considering that they manufacture nothing themselves and subcontract the moulding, boxes, instruction printing & decal printing - even logistics is subcontracted now - and that's security Fort Knox would be proud of.

Zero77 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Wow !!!! THat's great ! I'm not a fan of the Camel, but i'm a fan of WNW, and i love variety. It's very tempting to buy them all, said the kid inside me. Oh god, i just spent a lot of money last week, ordering A LOT of russian tanks... I should learn yoga to control myself, i guess. Oh my God bis : I just there's even a polish Camel from Koscizko squadron !!!!

LSP_K2 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Agreed, the quiet was only interrupted with the explosion of six new kits at once;... pretty amazing, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 F.1 BR.1 for me...Raymond Colishaw will be my choice. I've never built one of their kits. Is the rigging included in the kit, or does the modeler source that on his/her own? Brad You have to source it, but they sell some EZ-line, certainly the easiest way to make your rigging. For the turnbuckles, you can either use some microtube cut to lenght or buy AM turnbuckles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Brad, I'm up to my neck in EZline - drop me a PM & I'll stick some in the post to your, certainly enough for a couple of WNW kits. As long as it's not the DH.2 or Fee!

LSP_K2 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 As long as it's not the DH.2 or Fee! Right. For those, you need to purchase it on the huge wooden spools like they transport power lines on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamj Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Might jump on the duelist,wanted an LVG and missed out. Camel does look marvelous though. LSP_K2 and Zero77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWApilot Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Two for me, a BR.1 and a Clerget. Both painted for AR Brown. Oh my poor wallet, a man with better self control would not have this problem! Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix 54 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Here's the CAD for the Camel that WnW posted on their FaceBook page... And here it is with everything that's wrong with it... Ah Ha, rather than the passing of the baton, it's the passing of the magic RED lines........................... ...........................................................Considering that they manufacture nothing themselves and subcontract the moulding, boxes, instruction printing & decal printing - even logistics is subcontracted now - and that's security Fort Knox would be proud of. Dean, Weta Workshop are an in-house company who amongst other things are responsible for SFX, marketing and 'props'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Howie Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Wondering how many decal sheets they will follow up with maybe three or four? Think i might end up with quite a few by the time all the flashy post war birds see decal form. Going to be an expensive New Year...

LSP_K2 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I've heard that specifically as a result of the navalised version, they'll be selling these kits at The Dromedary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Ah Ha, rather than the passing of the baton, it's the passing of the magic RED lines........................... Dean, Weta Workshop are an in-house company who amongst other things are responsible for SFX, marketing and 'props'. Weta Workshop are an independent company that Peter Jackson "only" owns 33% of. So although they have a close working relationship with WNW due to a common shareholder, they are not an in-house company, as Peter Jackson does not have a controlling stake. In the context of WNW, to me Weta are a sub-contractor, as they share pretty much no staff. I'd imagine that there is also a commercial contract in place, as the majority shareholders would not want Weta to subsidise WNW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
