KenM Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I know this is more of a jet place but this is the iconic WW1 airplane I'm sure a lot of us will be interested supposed to be WNW molds as Meng did the tooling https://www.themodellingnews.com/2020/06/preview-meng-takes-mantle-with-new.html#more Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Not just a jet place. There is a props forum, as well as a classic (pre-1939) aircraft forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Home; don't knock that era! There were some seriously neat airframes produced. Just look at the Hughes racers and the Laird's. I'd like to see the Albatrosses revived in 1/32 and 1/24 scale. gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChesshireCat Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 you know in the winter of my life, I've came to love art deco stuff. This time frame falls right into the era. I almost jumped on the WNW Albatrosses and now wish I had. Perhaps the Meng kit will sorta give others a kick in the pants to start a stream of great kits from the era being as Academy did a 1/32 Spad (I know it needs help), I love for Meng to jump all over that one! ICM has shown us what the can do in a bi-plane, and see no reason why they shouldn't as well (reasonably priced as well!) Hasegawa did at least two bi-planes in 1/48 and 1/72 that were spectacular. I'd love to see a 1/32 scale Pete! Tamiya did a 1/50th Pete that actually was a nice little kit. Come on "Big T", upscale that kit to 1/32 scale! I'm good for two! gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCNFAN Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Glad to see this kit come out and I'll be getting this one for sure. I picked up a WNW Barkers Snipe at HLJ when the rumors started just in case they were true and sadly they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Did someone say AMK F-14?!?!?! 😀 ok ok ok, back in the hole for me. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 the AMK thread is nothing. You have an F35 thread that may set all all time record for pages when it's said and done. Britmodeler has a thread still active from 2010, and is very informative. gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
