I got my brown box Bavarians and its just like any other WNW kit on the inside. The box is fine but I don't care either way since I'm a builder and not a collector. I would guess the brown boxes will be collectors item themselves eventually. The Dude and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seldom, if ever, save the boxes anyway; I'm much more interested in the contents. Pup7309, scvrobeson, monthebiff and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Brown boxes? No problem as long as they are sturdy as the ones from earlier releases Pup7309 and scvrobeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pup7309 Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 The HP 0/100 has been pushed back to early 2020, so at least that expense is postponed until after Christmas/New Year! I wonder if they'll have a end of year surprise as in previous years? Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they'll have a end of year surprise as in previous years? That makes all of their proposed late 2019 releases pushed back to 2020... I wonder what they're cooking, other than accurately completing these models before putting them out. Curious, too, if we see the usual Christmas surprise. - Dennis S.

LSP_Mike Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Maybe the brown box signals round 2 of kit releases. We would then have a plethora of kits to choose from, again. Christmas surprise? Pup7309, scvrobeson and Rick Griewski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a first draft? Frankly, I’m more than happy with my Roden and OOP Hobbycraft Dr1s. If I want more DR-1s whether I get more Roden or WnWs, it will end up which is cheaper. As far as items missing from inside the nose of the WnWs Dr1, if there is something I can’t see in a model, I don’t add it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still so many gaps in WW1 aircraft that have never been produced. To me, the early Albatrosses being produced are good enough. If there are those who think they are lacking, there are Eduard upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jack Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I am sooo grateful for the WnWs Lancaster, not because I ever plan to get one, but that it proves that an Ilya Muromet or a Zeppelin Staaken is now within Wnw’s size frame.

Well a Staaken would be something! The span on it would be 140cm. Without checking I think the Lanc is 100(?) with detachable wings. The Hanley Pages are similar but have folding wings. Look if Peter Jackson wants one produced anything is possible. Does anyone with kit engineering have an opinion - Is 140cm of biplane and struts doable with injection moulding?

LSP_Mike Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Of course. WNW added a metal spar to the W 29, I'm pretty sure they can figure out something for a Staaken. The 0/400 is no wee plane either, so I am confident there will be sufficient engineering for the wing fold and span. Pup7309 and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jack Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I fell in love with the possibility of a Staaken after seeing what looks like a 1/32nd scale model at the Smithsonian being attacked by a fighter in a night scene in a special room. I read many Staaken were produced but most were all different, so do we have to choose which one we want. I can’t suppose owning more than one.
