Thanks!

James Fahey, our man in New Zealand. James thank you sincerely for allowing us to have these images posted for the Aeroscale members. Nicely Done! With the WNW GB about to kick off on Oct 1, we are all looking forward to our own builds. I want to thank Richard Alexander for his interest here as well. Everyone! Model on!

Thank you James. The interest over here is very high. I think the main concern is not directed towards what will be available, but rather, when it will be available. And that information is closely guarded. These kits are so desirable, I really don't care about the subject. I will get everything they put out. Of course, There are kits I would prefer over others, but they are all historical and will a place on my shelves. I am grateful that the D.V and D.VII will be out soon, as they are my favorites.

I can just imagine my grandfather, behind the lines in France circa 1918, watching these high tech things flying over the trenches. To all you people at Wingnut Wings, Salute.

Like Accurate Miniatures with their Avenger before, WNW has redefined what we want/can expect from our providers in the industry. I am an avid WW1 modeler and have lived a dream with the apperance of Eduard and Roden models. What can be achieved for the average modeler has reached an entirely new level with WNW, albeit in a larger scale. With the internet as a medium of communication and as a means to obtain stuff, we are in an extremely fortunate situation for this niche market. New Zealand is almost the furthest place on earth from the place i call home (1 1/2 hour drive from Flanders fields) i can't imagine how i would have made acquaintance with WNW and lay my hands on one of their kits without Aeroscale or Hyperscale as a means of information. The only downside is that they show so much of what's in process (the RE8! the Hansa-Brandenburg!! that no one els provides) in an equivalent quality that waiting for them is painful. Thank you VERY much for keeping us up to date with what's coming, i'll go and make space in my collection for lots of their stuff. (let's hope for photo-etch for the guns, i'll keep my fingers crossed)

Oh my goodness... I think the last bit of advise is very good... Build the Wingnut kits you have now to make some room for the upcoming kits. Joy....

Things are still eerily quiet at Fortress Wingnut.

Ahh until these came along 1/32 was a no go scale for me but these are so impressive and now I see a Harry Tate, Hansa Brandenberg W.29 and Sopwith Pup also crew figures nice
