I wonder if it will come with those (what look like anyway) fancy-dancy wire wheels?

[Guest Clunkmeister]

Oh bo oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!

[ChuckT]

Fantastic!

 

Looks like I'll be making a WNW purchase in 2017 after all.

Doing the Happy Dance with the Taube.  As for the D.Vll? cool, yes, but I have one or two already..

Of course it will ! The Albatros D.II kit already have spoked wheels and they look great.

Rigging makes the DH.2 look easy!

I emailed Richard Alexander & he said they are PE wheels, same as the Albie B.II.

 

To me, they look like proper, three dimensional spoked wheels. That's quite some skill to get then looking like that from PE.

This WnW company seems to do no wrong.

 

Astounding.

 

The 190 looks good also.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

Ok I am excited. I like the taube and I really never thought I'd see it in injection molded plastic.

 

This is really cool.

Nice Early war bird, and DVII. Now where and when can any WNW kits be purchased here in the States?

The trick is the ribbing on the wings,, which need to be darker to give the impression of light flooding through.
