Wingnut Wings Albatross DVa
Discussion
Just got it through the post (yes I had to pay £13.00 import fee 
)
Was expecting a good quality fine detail kit.......I am blown away!
The moulding is just stunning, the kit makes 5 different models with decals and parts included (4 different propellers) There is PE included.
And the instructions???? Good grief, detailed colour phot's of the engine and other reference images. Paint lists for 3 different paint ranges, good clear build pics showing rigging etc.
I had heard that the Wingnut Wings models were the Rolls Royce of plastic kits, rubbish, they are the £100 million+ Monaco superyacht of kits.
I need to sort out my vallejo paint issues before I start this on I think.

Ha ha you got stung! Ah well, I concluded (as you have) that it's still more than worth it. Mine's by far the best model kit I have ever seen in 35 years of on-off building. )Was expecting a good quality fine detail kit.......I am blown away!

My W.W. SE5a even has 2 sets of fuselage mouldings...one 'perfect' the other with wrinkled 'in service' fabric.
The hardest part about paying out for a Wingnut kit? Knowing that you will eventually buy most of them.
A hobby that started off with a cheap Airfix Seahawk bag kit at the age of 5 has got a hell of a lot more hardcore in the last 6 months, what with Vallejo, PE, Resin and Wingnut Wings.
