Bryan Wall, is his name, I Checked the WNW website, he is listed as an employee. I saw those FB discussions. Either way, a new Dr.1 is welcome.

Archimedes Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Good catch on the (genuinely terrible) box art. On balance given the former employee's comments on F/B this seems to be the work of The Artist Formerly Known as WNW but I honestly don't care as long as the contents of the box are good. I will be buying this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I for one am pretty happy. I don't believe in coincidences so unless someone comes up with additional info, for now, I'm assuming we'll be getting the WNW kit (minus their wonderful instruction booklet, which saddens me). On another plus - looks they are combining the early and late versions in one box, unlike WNW who opted to release the earlier version first and then make me wait for the one I wanted.

Personally I believe that's probably the best take away here; were getting a new DR.1/new 1/32 new tool model, and that should make most all LSP modelers happy.

phasephantomphixer Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Sure there's hope that it is a WNW tool, heck just for toolings sake, sure wood be such a bloody waste if they got sequestered and didn't make it to our benches! And besides, it HAS to beat out the Roden kit regardless so I can buy it, otherwise back to tweaking up on my stack of Rodens... LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertD Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I'm in for at least one no matter who's molds they are. I hope this means they will produce more WWI 1/32 kits along with the great CSM kits. There are sure plenty of subjects that could be covered to keep both companies busy. phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave J Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 6 hours ago, Radub said: The Dr.1 was NOT "WNW territory". For almost a decade the "WNW experts" told us that "WNW will never do a Dr.1". It was taken as "Gospel". The WNW Dr.1 was only announced 10 months ago. I can tell you as a designer that this model was started a while before WNW revealed their Dr.1. MENG probably put it on the backburner when WNW announced theirs. Now that the same "WNW experts" tell us that "WNW is gone", they decided that it is a good time to revive it. I am still waiting for proof that MENG did the tooling for WNW. Apparently "WNW staff said it". Where? To whom? Radu As Bryan stated and I will state now.. Meng was one of the many factories contracted to do tooling for WNW. The Dr.1's was the latest kit they were tooling. That is the WNW tooling not Meng, Iv'e spoken to the designer (Darren) of the Dr.1 kit and that is his work. Also to note.... Meng were not doing the tooling on the Lancaster nor the HP's, these were with other factories. esarmstrong, LSP_K2, Jan_G and 15 others 15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vincent Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 As i said, the molds are still at their place of production and you can bait that the kits will keep coming out. Easy way to pay your debts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because this comes from the WNW designer I am inclined to believe it. Just like many others my trust in utterances coming from people outside WNW is becoming increasingly thin. This proves yet again that all those people who claimed to know intimately all the goings on inside WNW had no idea this was going on altogether. Remember the insane "feeding frenzy of stupid" over the fate of the moulds? Not a single one of those guys who spoke with such "authority" ever mentioned MENG. Now the same guys say that they knew this all along and that it was "widely known". Bullplop! As I said, either way I am happy that we are getting a new Dr.1.
