Radub 3,771 Posted June 18 (edited) Aaaaand... GO! Queue speculation about "you-know-who sold the you- know-what to guess-who". At first glance this looks like a brand new tool. Remember when Copper State Models announced their Hansa Brandenburg and WNW had to immedialtely show that they were planning one too? I said then that WNW was going to face serious competition from a lot of other companies who wanted a bite of their lunch. Well, here it is. And I suspect there will be more. This may sound like blasphemy for the WNW cultists, but in the end we, the modellers, win.

abbadur 70 Posted June 18 what about the Dr. I kits announced some time ago from WingnutWings? Fokker F. 1/Dr.1 (Early) (Wingnut Wings) 32068 in development for 2020 Fokker Dr. I (Late) (Wingnut Wings) 32069 in development for 2020 1 BiggTim reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vince14 1,023 Posted June 18 I know people are going to speculate that this is the WNW kit, but I very much doubt it is. The CAD looks different to the WNW test models we've seen, so it looks like 100% Meng. 1 BiggTim reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gazzas 6,855 Posted June 18 I've copied this from the Meng site: "We know that you have been waiting for a carefully studied large scale Fokker Dr.I model kit with precise details for a long time. Now your wishes come true as the latest MENG QS-002 Fokker Dr.I Triplane model kit will be available soon. This 1/32 scale model kit features accurate exteriors, wing structure and realistic fabric covering. This aircraft’s cockpit interiors and engine construction are completely replicated. Exquisite PE cooling jackets and sights are provided to replicate the complete aircraft machine guns. The eye-catching “Red Baron” paint scheme is included. The finished model will be 180.44mm long and 225mm wide. It shows the classic shape and colorful appearance of this classic fighter aircraft. It can become the brightest star in your collection." See! Somebody was listening. 2 1 Rick Griewski, MikeMaben and esarmstrong reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LSP_Kevin 28,884 Posted June 18 Box art: Dave Johnson suspects it's the Wingnut Wings tooling, but others are seeing differences. Personally, I don't really care one way or the other. Looks a great kit either way, and it's great that WW1 aeromodelling looks set to continue with or without the famed New Zealand player.

Your opinion is different. Stop looking for an argument all the time. Edited June 18 by vince14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Radu was just joking, please let's just leave all that sort of thing (Father Ted reference) behind. Incidentally CSM have put their Hansa on hold, but have a couple of other projects on the way. 7 1 Troy Molitor, Rick Griewski, Royboy and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
