My jaw just dropped to the floor a few minutes ago when I landed on WNWs homepage. Out of the blue, one of my top 10 wants in 1:32 just landed un-annonced on my screen.
Just incredible!!!

I've wanted this since I struggled to build the old Eduard offering many moons ago.
But sense has to prevail and after scoring a tripe and 2 fokkers out of SWMBO I just have to drool for a while at least.
The way WNW release their subjects it seems likely I'll have a few months grace before the next flury in the autumn of 2013.

I never got to build the 1/72 version due to not really being into WW1 subjects at the time, but I want this one!!

Holy Smokes; Wingnut Wings has dropped a real bombshell on us. We have been inundated with an avalanche of kits after almost a year of WNW Drought! So many choices and decisions, puts one in quandry!

For those of you looking forward to the “Hannoveraner” as it was called to the RFC/RAF in 1918. I have some resources for you.
As I said in the previous communication, Schiffer’s SchlastaFlieger! Has some nice color schemes ( I prefer Schasta 27b’s one with the monster painted on the side. But for the real deal you need to go to Flight International’s website www.flightglobal.com , click on the ”Historic” hot button. This will take you to the search page for 100 years of Flight Archives.
On the subject square enter - Hannoveraner.
In the TO and FROM squares enter – 1918. Verily, Thou will astounded be.
This subject brings up the 1918 issue of Flight that has the Air Ministry’s technical report on the Han. CL-II, with all those wonderful detail sketches.
If you enter - “Mystery” biplane – in the search box keeping 1918. You get an earlier article on the Hannoveraner.
Enjoy the hunt, my friends.

Hi Warren – guess it was inevitable, like WNW states, the US$ is not what it was to the NZ$...
I do think they've already taken height for that in the most recent releases already though? Some of the earlier, like the Albatros DV, are still only $59.
