As maybe you've figured by now...

Alas, it was not...I wish they had, I would have been all over it...21CT did make one in 1/32... But if someone wants to go big , they could grab one of these: https://www.hobbyzone.com/products/p-51-mustang-1100mm-pnp-v2-detroit-miss- Notice it goes for a price cheaper than what you'd probably pay ...

Yah, it's built on the old Unimax Bravo Team version...the giveaway is the underside & the tracks, they're distinct from the BBI releases... Obviously it's not super-accurate, but it's pretty nifty nonetheless...and the price is a steal, can't say I'm not tempted... :) The guy selling it has a video...

Belated thanks for this link, PanzerArm...great to see a company producing a range of stuff beyond the obvious choices...but did they ever produce the 1/32 armor?...the scale line seems to have disappeared from their website...

Awesome find!

I'm glad for you, bro, and to reinforce your feelings of joy take a quick look at the usual bunch of listings of JSI & BBI at utterly absurd prices on ebay...you got it cheaper than some of the ones with missing and broken pieces...sometimes Christmas comes early! :)
