I think you might be onto something. Just a hunch but they might want something with a post war theme which these 2 aircraft fall into. The Vimy flew from Europe to Australia in 1919. The dh looks interesting but may not be as significant. For me the Blackburn Kangaroo would be great. I don’t think it will be these: Fred Jack and Jan_G 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzas Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Most ppl on the planet want combat aircraft. So I'm really doubting a between-the-wars type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pup7309 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 If it’s a big combat aircraft then I guess a Breuget 14, Cauldron g4, later Gotha or Italian bomber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the 100th anniversary angle, this announcement, more than others, has to be of something special and significant, doesn't it? Can't be some random normal release subject matter. Or can it? We'll find out in roughly 24 hours I guess! LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why have so many two seaters and the Gotha been sold out. I think you are speaking for yourself. I own all of WnWs multi seat planes as well as single seat fighters as well as the Brisfit fighter. WnWs is the only Company that has ever made more than single seat fighters, and the fact that they have been selling out, proves that many do like more than fighters.

LSP_K2 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Checking out what the big Airfix kit was going to be, was the very first thing I did today, tomorrow it'll be to see what the WNW kit is going to be. ringleheim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It contains a whole bunch of the Red Baron’s planes and one of Lothar’ Dr1s. I have both Hobbycraft and Roden Dr.1s. It doesn’t take a lot along with Pheon Decals to make them look great. WnWs has already said that they will not come out with one. I would think if they were, they would have already come out with one. It surprises me that no one is reluctant to buy Aftermarket parts for WW2 models but say that they don’t want to buy Aftermarket parts for the Dr1.

That's the one I'd build, Ross and Keith Smith's G-EAOU. Although I'd want to build it as the replica when she flew the route in 1994. I don't know if it helps we Vimy fans' chances but Sir Peter Jackson does own at least one large model of the type (although I can't find my photo to prove it). As always, I like to rationalise my wishlist with what Sir Peter owns in 1:1. So with that in mind I'd be happy if it was any of these: CC7F683C-CE59-4718-9354-5A0F9D2C2023_zps2jtrdam3 by Zac Yates, on Flickr 3C60085A-0A4E-421D-BB2E-E2744D8994C1_zpsgsfegupu by Zac Yates, on Flickr 40C03A2E-6985-464B-BCA5-59A90F3EBE2C_zpswwm2yyal by Zac Yates, on Flickr 1EF08D2A-82A2-4713-ADF5-79AD4367CED0_zpsqy6qgy1y by Zac Yates, on Flickr 6A916861-29EC-40F4-BB44-A1CF5FD0AA96_zpsef1ohgbu by Zac Yates, on Flickr And given it's been a while since we've seen floats or a hull, this would be very welcome: 14AC31E0-A17F-4495-AF48-F288C179B4FE_zps8gyh2hue by Zac Yates, on Flickr scvrobeson, kalashnikov-47 and Tnarg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said "Combat Aircraft". Last thing I knew the Gotha was a combat aircraft, though a multi-seat aircraft. I did not say single-seat-fighter aircraft are the only ones ppl want to buy.
