Dave Williams 2,554 Posted May 13 Hmm, looks like you get wing rockets for the Pup in addition to the new engine, but don’t get the RNAS Type 9901a sprue. 2 Pup7309 and Out2gtcha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeanKB 8,795 Posted May 13 They've put the new cowling on the rocket sprue, then added 80hp & 100hp Gnome sprues. It makes you wonder why they don't do more of this, as the marginal cost must be small compared to tooling a new kit? Well, I do wonder, then I remember than WNW are not a classic, normal, profit-maximising company. The advantage of having a billionaire WWI aviation fanatic as the owner. They've even managed to find a non PC-10 example! (Even if it is a trainer). 2 Pup7309 and Out2gtcha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeC 2,410 Posted May 14 (edited) The Pup looks good. I'm very tempted by the School of Special Flying scheme. Edited May 15 by MikeC 2 Pup7309 and rhwinter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ringleheim 1,697 Posted May 14 The Pup is one that got away before I ever bought one. I've had my eye on the Royal Navy version when they come up on Ebay, but it will be easier and cheaper to go this route. So another welcome move from WNW, as was the Sopwith Triplane. 1 Pup7309 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pup7309 273 Posted May 14 Interesting scheme with rockets for a lot less than eBay. Glad I was outbid on the last RFC Pup that came up. Wonder when we’ll see a re-box of the Pfalz and Se5a? 1 fmatthews reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vince14 830 Posted May 14 Well, that's yet another WNW Pup I'll be adding to the stash! 1 Pup7309 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Owens 192 Posted May 14 Nice to see the original cowlings are included in this offering. I've got a couple of resin Le Rhone 9C's (Vector? NeOmega?) in the stash, so I won't have to pony up "Collector Cash" to get one of the first two Pups, and the Le Prieur's are just what I needed for Ball's A.200 Nieuport 17. 1 Pup7309 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder when we’ll see a re-box of the Pfalz and Se5a? I'm with you. I'm waiting for a new Pfalz and SE5 without paying stupid expensive ebay prices. I keep hoping for more British 2 seater's too. 2 rhwinter and Pup7309 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Griewski 2,261 Posted May 15 Hmmm. The HP 400 with the wings folded may just fit in my hobby display area. Rick 2 Pup7309 and alanash1963 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No doubt there will be a Pfalz III. some time as well since some of the sprues are marked Pfalz III.a and some are marked Pfalz III/Pfalz III.a 2 rhwinter and Pup7309 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if they do a Pfalz 3 then Se5a could be in a duelist/ Aces boxing... I thought there might be a Pup / Gotha duellists set coming, maybe it still is. The rockets can be used on quite a few a/c. We are still to see other home defence types like the Sopwith Comic, Be2e and Dh4. Edited May 16 by Pup7309 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
