The Dude Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Cool! I can't wait to get a hold of one of these. The rigging is going to put more than one person in the loonie farm, I better start training some spiders to help rig this beast.

Cees Broere Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 What a wonderful kit, muuuuch better then my puny attempt at scratchbuilding one (albeit a 0/400). We are being spoiled here. Cees Pup7309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pup7309 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Wonder if we will see a Fokker DVII OAW/Alb re-pop limited edition before mid year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hopefully as I sold my Fighting Fokkers Pt 4 decal sheet for that reason on ebay when the limited edition boxing's appeared for an extortionate sum. Also if you go on the WnW site you will see all Fokker DVII decals are now sold out as the Albatros are Regards. Andy Pup7309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pup7309 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 I guess there’s no point checking WNW site until after the 20th and they will probably have back orders to fill but it will be interesting to see the release schedule of 2020 kits and any new project reveals in the pipeline...

Andy Yes they sold out when the Albatros decals sold out so logic dictates limited edition Fokkers. I wonder if the generic brown box editions will be more expensive than other boxart boxings when sold out. Or if there is less scarcity/ market saturation then overall resale prices will drop? I guess it’s the same plastic, just different boxing/ marking instructions. Just a thought...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I've been fighting off buying WnW kitsets for years because of the fri**in' rigging nightmare, compounded by the flat wires used by the RAF. Has anyone used E, G or B steel guitar strings cut to length and glued in tiny pre-drilled holes? No turnbuckles, no flat wires (etch is too fragile), but there has to be a compromise solution here.
