Pup7309 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Yes, looks like early and late Halberstadts! So is one of them the 3rd announcement kit no. ....62? Edited September 29, 2018 by Pup7309 Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Yep, appears to be a Halberstadt Cl.II, both early and late models. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA scvrobeson and Jan_G 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggyfoos Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) The two Halb kits are good news to me. Looks like the boxes are already done. With the two Lancs and two Halbs that's four new WNW kits then not three? And whose signature on the wing?

LSP_Kevin Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 What if, when Wingnut Wings says it's developing 3 news kits, the two Lancaster kits are considered as variants of a single kit (kit #1), and the two Halberstadt kits are also considered as variants of a single kit (kit #2)? This would mean we've effectively only had announcements regarding two of the kits in development (Lancaster and Halberstadt), with one more to go!

Dennis7423 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 The marking options for those Halbs are quite attractive! - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pup7309 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Hmmm....and a Christmas surprise announcement could add a new kit... Yes the options look great for these 2... Edited September 29, 2018 by Pup7309 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewH Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 If you read this: http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/product?productid=3189 It states at the bottom: Model Features: Halberstadt Cl.II escort fighter and ground support aircraft. I'll leave that to you gents to go wild with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok, so 32049 is already known as one of the Halbs, so 32062 could still be a new mystery reveal since 32043 is presumably the Lancaster since 32044 is the Dambuster.

ringleheim Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 We have known about the Halberstadt for a long time. That's kit # 32049. Then recently they did this "3 new kits will be unveiled in Tokyo" announcement. Those are 32043, 32044, and 32062. What those 3 kits are still doesn't seem totally clear. It looks like they are Lancaster 1, Lancaster 2, and Halberstadt Cl.II Part 2. Counting a derivative of the Halberstadt as an "all new kit announcement" is kind of lame, but I think that is what they are doing. So then, the "3 new kits in Tokyo" turn out to be none, as far as I'm concerned! I.E., no new WWI subjects! 2 Lancasters and a Halberstadt iteration that we've known about for a long time. Nothing new here for the WWI aviation enthusiast, unfortunately. It's possible they are NOT counting the 2nd Halberstadt as one of the new kits. Maybe they'll make the announcement at the end of the show? I don't know, they don't seem to be very good at promotion so I think this is it.

DonH Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Hot news! WNW are always developing new kits. They just haven't told us about the rest of their development pipeline yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 32062 is the late Halberstadt. Manchin posted the box art shots, and you can see the numbers. So that's two Lancs, and the late Halberstadt as the announcements. Done and done Matt Kagemusha and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggyfoos Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Profiles and sprue/decals for the two Halberstadt kits are now posted on the WNW site. As well as CAD of the two Lancasters. scvrobeson, Kagemusha, ringleheim and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I looked at WNW’s site, I agree when you review the announcements that the Halberstadt early was the already announced kit, two Lancaster’s and a Late Halberstadt equaling the three new kit announcements. I did not know the Halberstadt existed before WNW announced it but I read their notes and looked at the markings, it has some really nice marking options and is quite an attractive plane. I may get one myself. Other than academic interest, and watching what others do with it, I don’t see myself building a Lancaster. Just too big of a kit. If the wings are removable maybe it is something to build and take to Hobby Shows but otherwise I am not quite sure what to do with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Looking forward to the Halberstadt's, some stunning schemes OOB, with Pheon undoubtedly adding more in due course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
