smitty44 Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Trying to figure out what to buy myself for my birthday and look what I found! http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/product?productid=3198 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted March 22, 2019 Administrators Posted March 22, 2019 Ho Li Chow, I’m blown away. AND we’re getting the UWD seaplane as well, of which they constructed a grand total of exactly ONE example. Coolness, and its truly the Happy Times of 1/32 modeling. 3
smitty44 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Posted March 22, 2019 I'm kinda drooling over the Junkers with floats on the UWD boxart! 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted March 22, 2019 Administrators Posted March 22, 2019 Hmmm, maybe an early Aviatik? 3

Ryan Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 I wonder what the min diameter testicle dimension was to get in one of those. Bigger than mine for sure! Ryan 4
Ryan Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 I think there is some poor dude well into scratching one of these on LSP..... 4

krow113 Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 I'll take the float sprues and put them under a G IV.... Also I think we'll see some more float planes as well. I called the 0/400 for 5 years straight so it 's prolly gonna happen.... 3

Well, the floatplane is a one off, so maybe we’ll start to see some more, like the Curtiss H Boats, or even the NC series.... 2
krow113 Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 I agree WNW doing a singular production plane opens the door for a ton of others. Looking at my German seaplane book I can see a number of really cool subjects to come. WNW knows the market and is hitting it hard while its there , in 20 years the market will be cut in half. 2
Bomber_County Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 That’s one mad mother...........wow how good are WNW........ 2
HubertB Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Wow.... A Breguet XIV and a Caudron G-3 (rather than another German or English aircraft) ! ... WnW sure know how to surprise the world ... Oops, sorry, looks like I got it all wrong again Hubert 4
krow113 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 German sells....the bottom line has to come into effect at some point! 3

NigelR32 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Thats a definite addition to my WNW collection. I wont order direct though because the good old UK customs slaughters us every time. I have the GIV but cant even face opening the bags let alone start it. I also have the Felixstowe.. I would love to see a Muromets in 1/32 scale. I asked Richard how likely it is that they would do it... he replied, "About as likely as model kit company announcing two 1/32 Lancasters at the same time"... Oooh.. 2
GazzaS Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 I have to say I'm completely disappointed. Despite the fact that I might be considered a builder of mostly German types... Firstly... I hate one-offs. One-offs are right up there with paper-Panzers in my book. Secondly, there are plenty of other German types that saw combat in numbers greater than 1(or 20) but less than Fokker DVII and AlbatrosDVa. This looks more like: "Hey guys... we surprised you with the Lanc.... Getta load of this!" Pardon the Pun... but I hope it bombs. Gaz 3
DocRob Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Other than Gaz, I like the approach of WNW with their new releases. Historical importance to me is of no significance, I have to be torn in on a subject by an aesthetic value or engineering wise and the Ghota has both. Remember that huge machine flew in the beginning of 1915, wow. Good for us that the world of modelling became so rich of good kits of any kind the last few years, there is something for everybody, but I have to applaud WNW to their recent release schedule. I loved the Junkers D.1 and the Stahltaube and the brave release of huge bombers and floatplanes like AEG's, Ghota's and Felixstowe's. When look at the historical photos, provided by WNW, I have to say I'm very impressed, the thing flew and will be an eyecatcher floating on some resin formed waves, while maintained. I don't know, if I buy one, but I admit, I'm deeply attracted. Cheers Rob 1
