OldTroll Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I inquired regarding this subject a week ago and received the following from Richard Alexander on February 9" "Hi Ron, Thank you for your inquiry and concern. Most people in China are taking extended New Year holidays at present. There will no doubt be some additional procedures that the people who are transporting goods from factories in mainland China to ports will need to contend with. So there probably will be some delays but as it is a developing situation no one can estimate what delays (if any) there will be to Wingnut Wings production. The biggest determining factor remains the fact that no Wingnut Wings model will go into production until I have approved the tooling. Regards Richard Richard Alexander General Manager Wingnut Wings LTD PO Box 15-319, Miramar 6022, Wellington, New Zealand www.wingnutwings.com" MikeMaben and Pup7309 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wilson Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Not trying to poach on a fellow model site but in the interests of accuracy and to respond to those unsure of the authenticity of the Wingnut comments re coronavirus, I can confirm the post was on forum.WW1aircraftmodels.com and I wrote it. Copper State Models announced on their Facebook page that their new kits were affected by the coronavirus factory shutdown in China. I emailed Richard at Wingnuts and asked what the impact would be on Wingnuts production and his reply was published in detail on the forum. Also please note, while the Forum requires a person to register before they can post anything, the forum is free to read for anyone, and will always be so. cheers Dave Wilson Forum.WW1aircraftmodels.com esarmstrong, LSP_Kevin, Pup7309 and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm a member there, I'm sort of out of WWI mode at the moment, but when the new Dr.I is released, I'll be posting it up there as well as here. I am so looking forward to that (and getting busy with my D.VII's). RLWP and Pup7309 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. Although I’m sure I’ll find the money somewhere for a Dr1 (or three). Handley Page is another story...please delay a bit longer. Although I’d like to see instructions for the 0/400 and more about the mystery 32075. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Tens of thousands of people are getting sick and thousands are dying. Yes, it means that there might be a little delay in getting our latest WNW and other model kits. Not going to worry about it as there are other priorities in life in getting the latest plastic. monthebiff, Rick Griewski and scvrobeson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Yes, but this is a model site, so we discuss models, and what is coming. This takes nothing away from a growing global concern, but keeps our niche going. There are plenty of sites to discuss other global concerns; ours is modeling.

My thoughts exactly. What I wrote in the General Forum: The Coronavirus also effects model making factories. But it’s the people who are important. I’m sure we have enough kits stockpiled to see us through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Correct. WNW has set the bar high, which is why they are the standard to beat. And while there .may be a slowdown in the pipeline, I only have to live to 147 to finish my stash.

Calculate How long it takes to build a kit x how many in the stash? We’re all doomed! williamj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
