Never heard of them either, but was looking for a Komet pilot just a few weeks ago and came up with nothing- so thanks for posting this link. Bought one myself, and it arrived just two days later, so good service from them too.

Do you use Firefox? If you get noscript (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/) you can block the wingnutwings.com script temporarily. After that it's just a matter of clicking the picture you want (it will load as a new page not an overlay like before), then saving as usual (eg, right click on it> save image as)

I think that's a great idea, and it should make a great display piece to have all that structural detail on show. It's really unlcear, from all the photos I've seen so far, what you actually get in the box though. If I got this I'd want to be able to fill in the starboard side of the fuselage with just the ribs and spars, so you can see all the detail but don't have that nasty blunt edge shown in the photos (which I think makes it look too much like a plastic model with one half left off).

I'd much prefer the rivets to be added- for the exact reasons Nick gives above (I quite like the rivet detail myself, and would hate having to add it all in)

Great review- thanks! I'm hoping they do a FAA version... wonder what the chances are?

Seems to me like it's a lot of progress recently though? I have a 1/48 airfix version in the stash, but I'm waiting to see if this becomes available before I build it- I'd prefer a decent 1/32 kit if it's possible.

Gator Glue does expand. It foams up as it dries because it's a wood glue (the foam is supposed to penetrate the wood grain and seal up gaps). Gator Grip is another type of glue completely. I know this because I tried to buy Gator Grip after reading recommendations and got the one that expands instead :P

Awesome! Really convincing weathering too. Kind of restrained but without being too subtle either. Looks great.

Well, it's not 1/32 (1/48), but Matt's review here made me buy it, so I'm posting anyway... just got a GWH Mig29, and wow is it good.

I've just used some of these (the Ronny Bar ones) on the struts and fuselage of a WnW Pup, and they really are awesome. I wasn't really expecting them to be tough enough to work over the struts, but they did, after a few failed attempts.

If I hadn't just finished the Model Airways Camel, I'd certainly be making a start on one of these kits as soon as I could. I'm hoping for the SE5a some time in the future. For anyone making one of these I'd have a look here: http://www.johnsshawaviation.co.uk/wordpress/sopwith-camel-f1-2/sopwith-camel-reconstruction/sopwith-camel-metalwork-parts/ The most noticeable inaccuracy in the kit is something the 1/8 kit had too- most of the frame that creates the outline of the wing surfaces (and tail) is depicted as wood in the kit, while the real thing uses metal tube there (usually painted black, but sometimes grey I think). Simple thing to change, but would make a huge difference to how it looks.

Wow.. beautiful

They look great, nice work

That looks awesome The wood looks perfect to me too

Thanks for the review (I'm finding all the reviews on this site really useful btw- not the usual generic rubbish). Definitely one I'll have to get for the DH2, although probably mostly for the fun of making the thing (the kit parts looks like it would do just fine otherwise)
