Wow, very little of this is even hinted at on their website. The "Coming Soon" has only six planes including the Gotha, and the figures portion is so general as to tell us nothing.
Can't wait!!
I hope they will turn to some Early War items, and then there are the Spads and Bleriots, OMG!

There are still three serial numbers unaccounted for in this series. 
Who knows what will be next. The four Picklehaublets are not spilling any more secrets. For now. . .

Hi Stephen
Wow! Can you imagine the result if John Reid built a diorama around the Gotha (or any of these, really)!?! I'll be much more modest in my ambitions - I'm just looking forward to the Pup.
All the best

". . .Only noticed this note today. . . "
". . .No more info other than it is correct. The DH2 was not there at all. I expect this will be much further down the track, but the word is that it will be way superior to Roden's DH2. I would say that any kits not shown today would be at least 12 months further out (or more). . ."

My first reaction to the news that nothing new was available yet was disappointment and frustration. But as I look at the pictures of what Wingnut Wings is doing concerning their dedication to quality and the variety of subjects that will become available, my initial reaction has disappeared and been replaced by a deeper admiration for what this company is doing. Bravo Wingnuts Wings!
Regards, Dwayne
P.S. Please bring that Albatros out before the WNW group build gets too far along!

Everything looks great. But my inquisitive mind wants to know when these kits will be in my grubby paws. I know they are cutting edge kits of the highest quality. And it looks like they are getting close to being ready for release. I just wish they would get the Alby out real soon. That would keep me busy until the others are released. I hope this does not sound like I am complaining. I am just anxious.

Those figures are STUNNING.....I have a friend who is a very excellent fig painter and hes ordering the ENTIRE collection...and I don't blame him one bit!
One question though: someone has told me that a Sopwith Camel is due to be released by WW ...not true?....or have I missed something...

Jim,
I'm not as well informed as others on the list, but I haven't heard anything about a Camel. Could they have meant the Pup?
Still, in my dreams, hoping for a Tripe!

I am in awe of the quality, number of releases, anf planned releases. In reading the posts of others I have to think that the wallets are stuffed with far more money in other forum members pockets than mine! How does one score a review kit or two

Maybe he's just working the lubrication through the engine.
Or... Maybe WNW is setting up a line of figures with no hands and blood shooting out, ala Monty Python
Michael
Tripe? Who said Tripe!? Oh, that was me. Rats.

Me, too. Why are there so few Camel kits? Is it hard to replicate in styrene, or just the previous lack of interest in WW I kits?

Hello,
Hereby a first little report on my progress on the SE5a.
First my references:
My first intention was to do a McCudden SE5a, but I changed my mind and it's going to be Rhys David's one. I have the Pheon Model's set to do so.
Work on the cockpit:
The point on which I am now:
The whole thing is brushpainted using Humbrol 155 for PC10. I added a bit of dark brown with it.
Greetings, Nico

I do have a question, would anyone know which radiator Rhys David´s B`525 must have?
Cheers, Nico
