  1. I voted Dr.1, but would be very happy with anything other than the Taube.
  2. The way I see it, WNW knows one thing...the demand for a Spad XIII, Nieuport 17, and Fokker Dr-1 is high. Other than those three, there's a fairly sizeable pack. Not that I expect WNW to tackle them in order. There is the non-minor matter of having adequate reference materials, and the simple truth is that WNW has a habit of introducing kits that are not among The Usual Suspects. WNW appears to have a philosophy of educating people about First World War aviation...which means doing kits outside the Fokker Triplane and Sopwith Camel. I'm betting on a BE2c or an FK.8 within the year.
  3. OK...after doing an unofficial count, here are the results so far: Spad XIII - 24 votes. Runaway winner Fokker Dr I. - 19 votes. Also big winner, I was a bit surprised it wasn't higher. Nieuport 17 - 14 votes. Another obvious favorite, as it was used by so many French and British pilots. Albatros D III (including D 1 and D 11) - 9 votes. Not that surprising. Taube - 8 votes. This one surprised me. Hanriot HD1 - 7. Another surprise. Caproni Ca.3 - 6 Breguet XIV - 6 Sopwith Dolphin - 5 Siemens-Schuckert D.III - 5 Be2c - 5 Handley Page O/400 - 5 Albatros C VII - 5 Fokker DVIII - 5 Handa-Brandenberg D1 - 5 Aviatik D1 - 5 Junkers D 1 - 5 Short 184 - 4 Macchi M5 - 4 Lohner L - 4 Avro 504 - 3 Nieuport 27 - 3 Sopwith 1 ½ Strutter - 3. I'm surprised this didn't rank higher. Halberstadt D II - 3 Armstrong Whitworth FK.8 - 3 votes. I'm still betting on this being a WNW release. Halberstadt CL.II - 3 Fairey IIID/F - 2 Spad XII - 2 Nieuport 28 - 2 Ansaldo SVA5 - 2 Vickers F.B.5 - 2 Fokker D II - 2 Hansa-Brandenberg C.1 - 2 Caudron G.3 - 2 Caudron G.4 - 2 Albatros W.4 - 2 votes. But I bet it would sell like hotcakes. Albatros B-type - 2 Gotha GLVii - 2 I left out the one-vote candidates, but I think the Friedrichshafen F33E would also do well.
  4. There are SO many..... 1. Nieuport 17 2. Hanriot HD1 3. Armstrong-Whitworth FK8 4. Sopwith Dolphin 5. Spad XIII 6. Any of the CL types And for double credit...a 1/350 R-class Zeppelin. I'd also suggest a line of stiff rigging wire. Not thread, not elastic, not flexible wire - stiff wire. Cut to length. These "flimsy" kits get a lot stronger when rigged with wire.
