    Smile Series 4 Reprint on the Way...?

    Daniel (P-51D) found a post on Ares Wings of Glory FB profile a short video with minis from reprinted Series 4 and posted it in Any new news thread.
    There is a PrintScreen from it.

    Ah you beat me to it, Daniel!

    Se5as and Pfalz D.IIIas? Take my money!

    Default

    I like Pfalzes, but play them only sometimes, much more SE.5a... Anyway, grey Pfalz with red stripes is awesome looking

    Some great colour schemes there Daniel.
    That will liven up the tabletop.

    Where's that Dan ?
    I can see the Berthold's & back end of Voss's, thought the other one should be Holtzem's with black stripes but it's not pictured here.

    Maybe in the video Dan mentioned? (can't look at it now - Work computers blocking it! )

    That's Fritz Hohn's D.III, nice paint job indeed but if they do Max Holtzem's as stated that's the later D.IIIa with the black & white striped fuselage & later markings - another nice paint job.

    So, is this 2 releases with some missing aircraft or are we getting an all fighter series with no 2 seaters?

  13. #13

    Default

    Never mind. After looking at the placards more closely this is defiantly 2 releases. I can’t tell what quarter these are being advertised for release in, but here is to hoping they are both in Q1 2019.

    I like the dark blue Pfalz and the Sopwith Camels with new colour shemes.

    Definitely some examples from series 1 & series 4 without Rumplers and Breguets.

    Good news. Lots of new paint schemes. Better start planning on new storage now!

    The placard says 2nd Quarter 2019 for series 4 and it mentions the Rumpler C.IV's and Breguet Br.14's.

    I see Q2, 2019 on those bad boys. Nice to see Wings will get some love and a lot of it in 2019! Hopefully, that means we can see some more WW2 in addition to the BOB bombers by the end of the 2019 as well. We have been waiting way too long for those Corsairs and P-38s.

    I see they got the German Camel in the game ��. I will buy one for completions sake, but the Huns have enough representation in the game and certainly don’t need one of the Allies best planes. Oh well.

    Yes we know this plane from the Martians KS.

    Already ordered one.



    I'm interested in the Sopwith Camel with the U on the top wing. Whose plane is this?

    Rats, no EIIIs or DH2s. I was really hoping to get some of those. Especially considering the scenerios specifically mention those planes and I have no early aircraft anyway. Maybe in a couple of years...

    This are great news
    My inner child is drolling

    Now... is that red Albatross yet another MvR's?
    I was praying for a black&white striped Jasta 26... but it seema I'll have to do all the job by myself repainting fron zero

    They'll be in the reprint of series 5 Joe, whenever that may be. Should be the next reprint scheduled after these ones. I have a feeling they will be teamed with the scenarios book launch.

    The third Fokker Dr.I with the Eisener Kreuz on its horizontal stabiliser must be Baumer’s - Jasta 2.
    And the camo Albatros D.Va with the 1 marking on its upper wing must be Weber’s - Jasta 84. On a picture of WW2 bombers posted on Ares FB, we can foresee its yellow fuselage.

    It looks like they've also slipped in MvR's Alb D.V to series 1 too.

    These were in the Jasta 18 years, before the "Berthold Swap" changed the unit to Jasta 15

    Oliver von Beaulieu-Marconnay might have flown one (there is an "LD" one in the Pfalz D.III repaint thread, but I can't remember whether there was any direct evidence for it).

    Cheeky!

    Actually, I have only 1 Jasta 18/15 Pfalz D.III repaint (Berthold's), and only 3 Albatros D.Va..................................

    But I also have two Decal sheets of pilot insignia, and a pile of Nexus Series 1 Albatri and Series 4 Pfalzs ...............

    One of the Spad XIII is Fonck’s - Spa 103, edited in the first Wings of War serie.
    The second Spad XIII (Chavannes, Spa 112) has a white bug and a web all over the fuselage and two red stripes on the rear.

    The all red Albatros D.V is only one of the colour schemes Manfred von Richthofen had on his aircraft. Someone, who is good at painting models, may like to try some of the others.

    Some nice paint jobs there David - popped this in again as it has some info on it about the D.V's as well as the other kites

    New version is of 425/17 - MvR's last ride & how it should have been marked
    The other (original) version was wrong but resembled another he used - he had several - not all saw combat.
    I posted a pic once showing them all but can't find it now - if I do I will post it again !

    Not the one I was looking for as that one gave the detail. The original Nexus/Ares MvR red tripe looks like 141/17 in the picture


    I can't recall which are which and can't find the reference now but the first one is the prototype F.1, of the others one was crashed, one was used to visit neighbouring units & a few were used in combat - I'm sure a little digging on t'internet will reveal all for you, along with the debates over what colours/markings were used and the discrepancies between images and models !

    The following information is published by Dan San Abbott on The Aerodrome.
    http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/sh...t=50706&page=4

    MvR never flew any Fok.DR.I painted all red with white cross fields. It never happened.
    That information comes from someone who is ill informed about how MvR's Fokker Triplane were finished.
    The photos taken of Fok.F.I 102/17 which were finished in the standard Fokker factory streaked olive-brown finish, have misidentified the finish as being red.
    A lot of published photos have this caption, it is incorrect.

    Looking at images of 141/17 it doesn't look red to me -
    Sent to Adlershof on Nov. 2-5 1917 for type test by MvR. Survived the war, sent to USA at McCook Field....
