I just noticed the Hannover CL II has joined the ever increasing list of OOP kits at Wingnut Wings. Looking at gaps in kit number sequence, there appear to be several future releases on the way, but I'd read somewhere they don't intend to re-issue kits. Given their wide popularity, has anyone heard differently from them? I personally would love to see a Sopwith Dolphin as one of the future releases, but I'd also like to see some of their earlier kits re-issued too, perhaps in different markings.

Hi Russ
Doh! I've been meaning to treat myself to one of those.
All the best

I think that is not written in granite about never re-releasing OOP kits. They did bring back the HB W.29 though it is bundled with a Felixstowe.

Rowan,
Yep, there was at least one that I missed too, the W29, but the re-issue with the Felixstowe is a little high for my pocketbook. I've tried to anticipate some of the more popular ones, so my wife has a list of the ones I want for birthday and Christmas purposes. So far I've managed to obtain 7 of the 13 OOP releases before they went OOP. I used to ask for just underwear and socks as gifts-- now my family knows to pool their money for a Wingnut Wings Kit! It makes gift shopping easier for them. I may be running short of shorts though!
