**Angiolillo** · 11-14-2010 20:34

Here an article on "Gioconomicon":

It is in Italian, but the words "Galleria fotografica" on line 6 go to a rich photogallery of 45 pictures.

All the best!

Those look great. Can't wait to get my hands on some. Thanks for the post Angiolillo!

Very Awesome Andrea! I think I just got quite a bit of drool on my keyboard and will have to be buying a new one now!

Thanks for sharing the link with us!

Holy Crap! I damn near spilled my beer on the keyboard!

That's freakin' AWSOME!

How about I just sent you all of my money right now...wait, my wife might see this...forget I said that (but I still mean it).

**Attila57** · 11-14-2010 23:25

Great!

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 11-14-2010 23:58

Impressive. Just send them to me now ,just as they are. I will paint my own.

Thanks for the heads up Andrea.

Rob.

**ara398** · 11-15-2010 01:28

Thanks for that Andrea... stunning!

What really took my breath away was the boxart for "Rain of Destruction" - that's a whole new level of artistry compared to previous boxes. Is it the same artist?

Regards,
Adrian

**IRM** · 11-15-2010 02:41

The bombers look great (with the added bonus that they'll be far lighter than the metal kits) and the early war fighters will be great additions to the range, particularly after the DH2s myself. Cheers, Andrea.

**Angiolillo** · 11-15-2010 04:49

Yes, it's always Vincenzo Auletta!

**Archidamus** · 11-15-2010 05:18

These look great Andrea - can't wait for DH2 vs EIII dogfights!

Thanks for sharing

**flash** · 11-15-2010 09:47

Thanks Andrea - fantastic to see a glimpse of the future models. I will start saving now...(again!)

**Skullduggery** · 11-15-2010 10:04

I can't wait to get my hands on them.

**Steve** · 11-15-2010 10:40

I'm looking forward to these, thanks Andrea.

**Burt** · 11-15-2010 10:50

Can't wait to have a couple of these behomeths flying across the table.
Don

**Naharaht** · 11-15-2010 13:41

They look good, well done!

**gregbond77** · 11-15-2010 14:03

Thank you for sharing the pictures Andrea. All of the aircraft look STUNNING. I will start saving my money now or right after I buy the Revised Delux Edition.

**Wolfbiter** · 11-15-2010 15:12

Exciting stuff! I particularly like the Gotha. Thanks for sharing!

**MayorJim** · 11-15-2010 16:00

Looks like an eindecker and some bombers...v e r y neat! Would like to see them with some paint, but I can wait ...heck, still waiting on the deluxe set ver.2

**Kahlerclan** · 11-15-2010 17:02

Looks like the bombers have large pegs (like the balloons?) Great job - like everyone else I HATE WAITING

**robotwizard** · 11-15-2010 20:08

They look great! Love the bombers...

**Mike White** · 11-15-2010 22:23

OK. So common sense says ... 1) I have just managed to smuggle all of Series IV in without my wife murdering me so I can 2) buy the Deluxe Edition when it arrives, hopefully not too soon, and 3) wait patiently for Series V and then 4) the Bombers through 2011 & 2012 spreading my spending like a sensible person in this era of financial constraint.

Hang on ... no I can't! I want these, and I want them now!!!

**von Auerbergh** · 11-15-2010 22:50

Lovely toys ... I really need these bombers

Any ideas, what they may cost?

Cheers,
Bernhard

**Kookaburra** · 11-16-2010 07:38

Great.

**usmc1855** · 11-16-2010 07:57

Outstanding!

**WilliamBarkerVC** · 11-17-2010 07:28

Very exciting! Can't wait to be able to get them all!

**Shiraz68** · 11-17-2010 08:42

Not wanting to sound like a spoilt child..... but 'I want them NOW'...

It looks like I will have to make do with Skytrex & Reviresco models in the meantime due to the looooooonnnng wait we will have for them to be released. The anticipation is just too much!

sucklingpig · 11-17-2010 13:34

These look great! It seems like these may be out sooner than anticipated? Maybe I'm just optimistic.

**tuladin** · 11-17-2010 13:38

Does this mean that Series 5 and the bombers are coming out at the same time? (my wallet is wimpering at the very thought...)

**franc3555** · 11-17-2010 17:05

wings of war rain of destruction ... humm very interesting.

Plane like B-17 ?

**RonaldRS** · 12-03-2010 11:14

thay look good!!!got to get!!!

**DaveZee** · 12-03-2010 11:38

Can't wait to get them...

**MayorJim** · 12-03-2010 13:48

I would imagine that they would be priced between a 2 seater and a balloon, but much closer to the 2 seater...so, I'm hoping they'd come in around US$20. each. That would be affordable. The Series IV came in at US$13. each...no price difference between single seaters and 2 seaters...so there's a chance they could even come in at a few bucks less than US$20...that would be even better!

**Cujo8-1** · 12-23-2010 21:21

I too am really looking forward to the bomber models. This is all good stuff!

**Justin3.14** · 12-24-2010 09:02

I can't wait to get my mits on a couple of bombers!!!
Or,
I can't wait to riddle a bunch a' bombers with bullets!!!

Tally Ho!!

**Grey Knight** · 03-05-2011 09:33

very nice job,can't wait to get those.love the gotha!

**Doug** · 03-06-2011 03:11

I will have to be the devils advocate here, I have been waiting for 2 years for WoW Series 5 when I have them in my in my hand at the games store is when I will acknowledge their out. However on the positive side looks like it could be an expencive year. Will have to reduce the debt on my credit card NOW!

Um...did you skip series 3 and 4?

I believe that "waiting" is what makes us all stick together here...we wouldn't have anything to grumble about if the darned planes came out at a reasonably paced, on time schedule...and of course included every plane every one wants!

**RJB** · 03-06-2011 13:09

Looks good

I wonder how long it will be before we see them in the shops?

**grumpybear** · 03-09-2011 17:08

WOW the sooner the better

Sounds like 2-engine birds only at this point.

*dreaming of a "WoW WWII: Giants" set with an Me264 Amerikabomber, G10N1 Fugaku and XB-36... and maybe a "Weird Wings" set with the Horten and Northrop flying-wings, and assorted other Projects & Prototypes*

**Naharaht** · 03-10-2011 16:25

I cannot see that ever happening, Diamondback. There are too many conventional aircraft that people would like to see first.

**Diamondback** · 03-10-2011 16:51

I didn't say anything beyond "dream", did I?LOL We gotta get past the industry as a whole's resistance to 4-engine types first... and I'd like to see the B-17 and B-24 escort-gunship conversions too, along with the inline-reengined B-17 testbed. (Sadly, while the latter showed great potential to improve over "standard", it was destroyed in a hangar fire before any usable data could be gathered. I've long thought the re-engine and up-gun should've been tried together...)

**Gamewyzard** · 03-10-2011 21:25

WOW! I just informed the wife to get a mortgage on the house!

I can hardly wait to see these in my collection.

baronvontigger · 03-10-2011 21:36

Oh well ther goes the nest egg. lol

**Justin3.14** · 03-11-2011 06:21

Early July rings a bell.
DANG!! I can't wait!

**Dom S** · 03-11-2011 07:21

Yeah, this year's press release said June for the bombers, with Series 5 some time after that.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 03-11-2011 09:11

It will be all over by Christmas then.

That's the problem with you Rob: overly blood optimistic.

Ooops sorry about that,

just saw that you didn't mention which Christmas. In that case, you're spot on.

**Diamondback** · 03-11-2011 16:41

On the other hand...

'Til it either hits my LGS shelves or preorder at CSI, 12-7 or Miniature Market it's vaporware, which means I have no idea why I'm starting to feed this year's announcements into my tracking spreadsheet. LOL
