Pup7309 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Agreed WW2, especially something like Spit is low hanging fruit but there are a few opportunities in WW1- Spad vii, Albatros iii etc that WNW didn't do. Even a Fok D7 would sell well (no rigging, interesting decals) that would be a money spinner. Edited September 21, 2021 by Pup7309 MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, IMHO, this is most definitely a good thing. The money saved by not including an engine can be better spent on exterior detailing, resin additions or upgraded surface detail. Just opinion however. Fritz, Pete G., Paramedic and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is the Tamiya IXc for a (later) Merlin if you fancy one.. Or AM.. I prefer cheaper basics and then chose what AM I want myself.

Ryan Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Yep I agree, I was just having some Animal House fun. I wrongly assumed since WNW kits had engines these would also. The WWI birds in most case had the engine exposed so it must be included. Its a confirmed sale either way for me.

Monoplanes all the way I think. Excellent - lots of early Bleriots, Derperdussins, Taubes, Fokkers, Pfalzs, Nieuports, Bristols... WWI wasn't all multi plane aircraft Richard And I also suspect Kotare have chosen a different route to WNW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the overall Kotare model mantra seems very in line with my likes, and you KNOW the model should be good either way with the people known to be behind it MikeC and Archimedes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I will buy one. I do not need an engine to cover up. I do want a sweet front office. I just may dress it up as the Kiwi aircraft… AND I am still disappointed that this kit was not a P-51B. Out2gtcha and Paramedic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I didn't think about it until now, but that seems like a VERY good choice for what still should be low hanging fruit, but also something there really isn't a modern kit of currently. We have all the D model 51s anyone ever needs, but there is a serious lack of B model mustangs in 32nd. Lots of talk about them, but none seemingly coming to fruition. It sounds like a license to manufacture gold to me. Paramedic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
