So which planes/pilots are everybody looking forward to? There are going to be some obvious ones, like Richtofen and his triplane, but I'm curious to see which one will be the first one K&C does. Personally I'm hoping for a Neuport 17 "Super Baby" in Lafayette Escadrille markings

If it's early war, I'd like to see a Bristol C scout of L.G.Hawker, mid war a Nieuport scout maybe with Billy Bishop, late war an SE5a with Edward Mannock....

An early war Immelmann or Boelcke Eindekker E1 for the Germans. Some colourful late war German warbirds would be great. I'd like to see Udet's DVII - late war red & white striped upper wing 'Lo!' There have been a lot of Richthofen model planes, so if they do one, maybe a less well known Albatross D.III. he flew?

I hope the markings are based on historical evidence / photographs.

I'm looking forward to the releases!
 
Love WW1 aviation but KC is late to the party. Having already committed to the excellent JJD aircraft, my money has gone for the Richthofen tripe, Camel and upcoming Nieuport. Can't buy duplicates of these expensive planes. I'm sure KC will do it's usual outstanding job on the aircraft and I will certainly purchase aircraft that are not duplicates. There are so many options for each type of craft, duplicates between the two makers need not happen. I would also like to see Lafayette Escadrille aircraft but I would prefer the smaller and earlier Nieuport 11, known as the "Bebe". All of the original Lafayette pilots cut their teeth on the Type 11. These would be great. -- Al

Some great choices. Would love to see Richthofen's Albatros D-5 in which he was wounded. Has a great color scheme, ie., not all red. Udet's Fokker D-7 is a great choice as are the SE-5's. Mannock's or McCudden's would be wonderful. Don't think KC would do Bishop's Nieuport 17 as JJD has already announced one for next month. -- Al
 
I just saw the JJD Nieuport, it looks fantastic but I prefer the fuselage mounted Vickers machine gun rather than the wing mounted Lewis gun.

The JJD Nieuport is a model of the one flown by Billy Bishop on the mission that he was awarded the VC for. That Nieuport was armed with only the wing mounted Lewis gun. -- Al
 
I would love to see a hariot in italian markings or a fokker e.v.
