Juggernut Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) ...the Wingnut Wings Fokker Dr.I, F.1/Dr.I early, and Lancs are tentatively scheduled for release? I'm "attempting" to plan my kit purchases (especially the Lancaster [dambuster]) so as to not strain my finances when the time comes to drop the cash for these. The F.1/Dr. I (early) and the Dr. I (late) arent' going to be especially difficult but that Lancaster will be a tough one to tackle without a little foresight and coin-in-the-bank. As I said in another thread, a lot of my disposable income is being allocated/reserved to the purchase of a 2020 Corvette (or maybe a 2021). These three kits are primarily the extent of my "planned" purchases this year. Of course if there's something that pops up and tickles my fancy, I may have to do a little creative financing (aka use the credit card) but it will have to be something spectacular like a 1/32 Tamiya P-47D, P-38J, F6F-3/5 or something along those lines before I'll do that.... I firmly believe I am safe as far as that is concerned. The chances of Tamiya releasing any of those three kits in 2020 is tantamount to finding a unicorn in my upstairs bathroom.

vince14 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Sometime in 2020, that's all we know. I suspect Coronavirus will push them back to the second half of the year. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Yeah, that Lanc. Looks lovely. I like the "planning purchases" notion, though with 5 roden tripes, not sure how many WNW tripes I'll buy. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 No art for the tripes yet, so I'm curious whose planes they'll do. Maybe they do decals for tripes as well. LSP_K2 and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pup7309 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) No idea. Sometime between April an Nov I imagine. Much anticipated though! Edited March 9, 2020 by Pup7309 mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichenson Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I have heard some factories have started back in China. However, given that, it will take months for them to get back going into full production so I would venture to say all of it won't be seen until well into summer. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 They were originally slated for mid-late 2020 release. And like folks have already said, lots of factories have been shut down, some may still be shut or not at full capacity. Hope for it by Telford in November but follow the WNW homepage as that's where you're going to see any information first. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd pretty much guarantee that Voss will be included in the F.I/Dr.I boxing. Aside from that, who knows. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 They had A few small side profiles shown at the US Nats for both the releases. Assuming nothing changed before release, early includes Voss F.1, Jasta 5’s Dr.1, and another I’m not familiar with. Late Dr.1 shows Udet among others.

LSP_K2 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Interesting to see that the late Dr.I has one of MVR's Triplanes on the box art. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall the specifics (even though it was discussed here some time back), but I think he flew at least three different tripes, possibly more.
