Wingnut Wings have ended any speculation as to what their latest subject will be. Full details of Kit #32040 - DFW C.V Mid Production are now on their website, along with a glimpse of the sprues of the forthcoming Late Production version (Kit #32057).

To whet your appetite, here are the Ronnie Bar profiles for the 5 featured colour schemes, plus a small selection of the excellent full-build photos from Brett Sharman.

Richard Alexander has sent us full details of the new releases:

"We are pleased to announce our two newest releases. The DFW C.V was
arguably the single most important German aircraft of the First World
War. The entire reason for military aviation at the time was to support
the war on the ground and the most significant way to do this was
through reconnaissance and artillery observation. A skilled artillery
observer in a wireless equipped two-seater could kill more enemy with
his index finger in a few minutes than the most skilled fighter pilots
could in a lifetime and the DFW C.V was the most prevalent front line
German two-seat aircraft of the war.
