Well certainly not me

– But I'm very happy, the Hansa is on my wanted list, and the DH9a is on my "probably–definately" list (I have many different levels and gradings on my whishlist from WNW. Neither the Roland nor the Pfalz ranked among the top ten wanted though....

I think there were two different variations of the Naval Hex, one referded to as "blue pattern" (Light Violet, Light Blue and Mid Blue) and one as "brown pattern" (Deep Blue, Purple and Brown)
Not sure of which applied to the W29, but I guess the WNW sheet is representing the "brown pattern"
I bet someone here at aeroscale knows more about this...

Certainly a big surprise to me.
Both have been ordered, as shipping is still free and stock is limited until after the holidays.

It is 3 o'clock in the morning here and I just ordered the two of them. I thought it was going to be the two small single seaters, but these make me very happy, especially the HB which I have been waiting for for decades!

Nifty thing is that both of these two seaters have their cockpits fully exposed and not under a wing!

I note the close working relationship with WNW and Albatros Pub. The Datafiles on the Liberty Powered DH 9a in Vol.1 & 2 and the WNW release is just a great co-op. The Hansa Brandenburg W.29 is a good choice as well. Its colourful and there is Datafile out on it already. Hindsight. . .
And wouldn't you know it the Roland and the Pfalz are back on the "News" page.

I did pop for the DH-9. I am not sure what my wife is going to get me. I did email her the website and hinted at either. She just popped for a Hammond Chop for me for the band, $5K as a wedding present. She is a great lady.
I will definately do the USMC marking one. The USMC is one of the early pioneers of close air support and using a/c for medivac purposes. I am looking forward to seeing some build blogs and tackling the kit myself; but first I have to work on the...............

I also was intrigued by the USMC markings. Might be a good change from the wood grain rut I seem to be in.
