With the advent of Wingnut Wings of New Zealand we are starting to get the word from Aeroscale members. First in with an over view of their 1/32 Bristol F.2b is member Carl Althaus. (CapatainA).

Of all the wingnut releases this loooked the most detailed, I thought long and hard before odering the SE and LVG.....this kit was the reason. but I had to have the SE and have wanted a German 2 seater for so long.....only the £14 extra charge for handling by our wonderful postal service here has prevented me upto now. when the DVII and CV are released then it may slip onto the order

It will be interesting to see the build, the detail really is outstanding.

Hi there

I'd have bought the lot, but the customs surcharge in the UK has put me off so far. It almost seems like the'b*ggers have got Wingnuts specially in their sights! There has to be a work-around (mailing as "gifts"?) to make it less painful for UK modellers to buy these stunners...

All the best

My F.2b arrived the other day and I agree with Carl this is a great kit.

On the note of cost, in this land of tax everything and then tax it some more I knew I would have to pay tax but the £14 postal service surcharge I thought a robbery
