Teaser

Here is a promo article for the Model Expo and National Champs to be held this weekend from our local newspaper.

Peter Jackson is lord of the wings | Stuff.co.nz

It features Wingnut and includes a nice photo of Richard Alexander with an LVG model. I'll be back with a full report in about 9 hours.

Happy Modelling
James

There is good news and not quite such good news

The good news is that Wingnut had pre-production models (built up and unbuilt) for the third round of releases at their stand for viewing. The Hansa Brandenburg W29 had arrived only yesterday, the Roland D.VIa was there, the FE2b and the DH9a. I saw three different Fokker DVIIs, the Pfalz DIII the Albatros DV and RE8. Lots of figures were there painted up and all looked absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait, totally awesome. The pictures will speak for themselves, sorry about my crappy photography. Some planes were on rotating stands and behind glass. I'll post this now and have photos up very soon.

The not so good news is that the second release kits are not available yet, but it won't be far away. There is no official release date yet.

Happy Modelling
James

Here is the Fee

Absolutely beautiful - this one is a must have for me. Full of character . . .









I asked Richard if parts for doing the FE2d might be included - he said with a wry smile that anything was possible. Certainly there will be a range of undercarriage options. Spot the flares under the wings and camera on the starboard side of the nacelle.
