Hi Stephen
Great stuff - but I can't help but wonder why Wingnuts still haven't announced a Camel? There's got to be a huge market ready to snap up a Wingnuts version (well, me for one, anyway! LOL!) . Hopefully they have something special up their sleeve... it does say on their website that they've got some surprises planned!
All the best

One has to wonder reference the Camel. I know they stated that a buildable Camel was already available but.....................
That being said, there is no way I can keep up with thir current releases, Rodens releases etc. I am seriously contemplating selling my 1/48th unbuilt kits to raise a little cash for 1/32nd.

Having the same problem as Ragiii – I used to buy all that came out in 1:32 – but now I need to think carefully of how to spend – they all look very tasty – but there are a few I want more – Needless to say the Fe2b, and the Fokker DVII – but also the Pfalz, and a Snipe sounds like a definately maybe...
I have the B.A Fokker EIII (and might actually try to build that one day) And I will build Rodens Tripe – so they are less likely.
However – as Stepehen said – "kits happen"

When I was visiting northwest Arkansas a few months ago, I read a newspaper article that said a local aviation museum was closing and selling off its aircraft. One of those was an original Sopwith Camel. The buyer was from New Zealand, but unnamed. Perhaps an acquisition for someone we know?

Astonishing! Absolutely astonishing. I particularly like the wrinkled fabric effects.

Stephen,
Thanks for this.........................what incredible subjects and a virtual bonanza given the number of new/future releases. Once they are available it will be difficult to make the choice(s). The Tripehound and DH2 are likely good starting points for this customer.
Cheers,
Lance
