Fokker DVIi (fok) AMC DH.9 Bristol F.2b Fighter (Post War) Merci WNW Rick I would buy an SE5a. I have looked for one for a while now but have never had the luck in finding one at a price I am willing to pay. If I think a while on it I'll probably come up with a few more kits.

Fokker DVIi (fok) AMC DH.9 Bristol F.2b Fighter (Post War) Merci WNW I’d like to pick up a second W.29 and maybe another W.12, but I’m otherwise stocked up. Possibly the WW1 boxing of the DH9a, or at least the decals, as I only have the post war boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I looked over the thread. No one is claiming anything except that there is going to be a show with WNW of some sort in attendance. Speculation is annoying to some people. What if’s are also annoying.

Out2gtcha Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Indeed. The only thing we know for sure is that WnW is in fact still around in some capacity, at least in the capacity to appear at a NZ air show and sell some kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Personally, I'd be happy if they restarted production - their absence is driving up the price of second hand Roden kits!

cbk57 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I hope they do produce from their existing kit inventory, we will see, I would think that there is a bit of a use it or loose it aspect, as if you let this stuff all go into disuse, it will disappear, be damaged or otherwise fall into some unforeseen issue. I think it would be better since the investment is made to pump out some kits every year and sell them. We shall see in any event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And WNW will be selling kits at the show. The advertisement also suggests that more kits (likely from New Zealand stocks) will be offered for sale beyond this air show.

europapete Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 True, Jennings, but I really liked Radu's explanations of how kits are produced these days as I had no idea. Regards, Pete in RI esarmstrong and Pup7309 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Pete in RI As I read Radu's posts, I consider his conclusions about what is going on at WNW to be reasonably drawn based upon his considerable experience in the industry and worthy of respect.

LSP_K2 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 What would I like to see available again? Fokker D.VIIs of course. If, and right now I see it as a big if, they were to resume designing and selling new kits again, I'd still like to see some Albatros D.II and D.III kits, as well as a Fokker D.III.

Out2gtcha Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'm still not convinced WnW are "back" as we all most would like them to be, IE selling newly designed kits, or even selling newly molded kits of past designs. However, I truly hope someone at the NZ show gets some definitive answers one way or another. petrov27, LSP_K2, dutik and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
