James Fahey gives us the first glimpse anywhere of the premier Alb. D.V issue 1:32 from Wingnut Wings.com!




Quoted Text

"Mr. Richard Alexander, Co-ordinator over at Wingnut Wings, kindly agreed to Stephen Lawson's request for an exclusive interview with Aeroscale. Stephen then asked me if I would be interested in meeting Richard down at the Wingnut's shop in Miramar, Wellington. Someone has to do the tough jobs! That was one of the easier decisions I have ever made. I have just returned, laden with four special advanced review samples from the next batch of Wingnut releases. Thank you Richard for your generosity. What follows now is a teaser for the full interview which will get written up and published on Aeroscale in a few days.

You have all been waiting for two new Wingnuts kits, the Sopwith Pup and the Albatros DV. Actually there will be two versions of the Pup, an RFC version and an RNAS version. Likewise the Albatros will be released in two versions, the DV and the DVa. Note the worldwide free shipping offer has been extended to include these four new models which will be available for sale from the Wingnuts website in the middle of March 2010. This is official from Richard using the latest information from the shipping company.

Here is a first look at the Albatros D.Va, #32009 which will be US$59.00. . ."

I just looked at the plastic on Hyperscale. WOW! Now I have a future research project. How do you know which type of radiator your favorite Albie carried?

Photo research and the WNW instructions seem to be spot on.

Stephen,
Have you heard any news regarding the release of the 4 and 5 color lozenge camo decal sheets? I'm working on my LVG and I just know I'll need extra material for the edging.
Thanks,
Rob

Nothing we can pass on yet concerning lozenge. But I am thinking this year about mid summer.
