Pup7309 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Maybe we'll get a Hanriot HD1 as a Christmas surprise ( vs. D.1 Duellist pack?) Well I guess the next ones to be anticipated from either (or both) companies will be a SPAD or D111. Now they have the A-D engine I guess some more Austrian subjects will follow... But for now mystery solved Good times! Edited August 31, 2019 by Pup7309 Out2gtcha and scvrobeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilCarrot Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Will be interesting to see a quality comparison between the two and to see if this might affect the price of each kit. Or maybe it's a joint project? Copper Wingnut State Wings Models Pup7309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Yes they might have to do a cost analysis on this one. Hope it dosn't happen to them again in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I had that strange feeling they could quickly propose the same kit but could not imagine this would occur so quickly. I am sad for CSM has they do not have the funds of WnW. However, if I had been in their shoes, I would not have chosen such a topic. Selecting for instance an Italian boat plane or another French fighter would have decreased that competition risk... Too bad.

I guess in retrospect like you say an an Italian flying boat or Hanriot HD1 might have been a subject less likely to have been done by WNW.

ericg Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I simply can’t see how two manufacturers releasing the same kit at the same time can be good for the hobby. I really feel for the smaller manufacturers in this case. scvrobeson and Pup7309 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pup7309 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Maybe WNW already had it in production and brought it forward? Edited August 31, 2019 by Pup7309 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We, the modellers, benefit in the end. Radu AlbertD, Out2gtcha and Pup7309 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radu A retail manager once told me that if you have 2 shops selling a similar product in close proximity that was a good thing all round. Although I think he was talking about similar sized storefronts. Looking forward to all the new releases.
