Re: New Fokker Triplanes for 2007

I have a feeling they think it won't be a big seller...Carousel is trying it and i have not seen any sold outs on their WWI fighters as of yet.
I think it may have to do with the price range really.
I believe that the Werner Voss Fokker Dr.1 will sell out due to only 600 being made.
Now Corgi getting into the WWI fighters is a good thing..Maybe thats what it takes for others to follow.
I'm looking forward to the Albatros of MVR and S.E.5 (wish this release was Albert Ball's fighter) i hope to see them make others as well.
How about the German WWI bombers like Gotha G.V. and the Zeppelin Staaken R.VI or the fighters Fokker Eindecker ,Pfalz fighters and Junkers D.I
and on the British side you have Sopwith Camel , Pup , Dolphin , Snipe , 1.5 Strutter and Triplane and the Bristol Scout , Bristol Fighter and RAF F.E.2 , F.E.8 and S.E.5 i can go on and on with this.
So yes it would be nice to see some of them made....But the real thing is will it sell like the WWII stuff does...Only time can tell.
