The yellow 7 looks pretty good but I wonder what the other paint schemes will be, usually they have 2 or 3 schemes when a new bird comes out. I was going to preorder the white 7 from AT but since that has been delayed I'm thinking I will have to go with the new 21C bird.

Hey Guys,

Looking to see if anyone is interested in an even swap of P-47's. I have a new 1:18 Eileen that I am looking to trade for an 1:18 Eagleston.(Does not need to be new just complete and in good shape) PM me if you are interested.

Thanks
Dan

Just my own speculation...but I think as time goes on and the range of WW2 aircraft subjects continues to shrink as they keep making new models, they will eventually start looking into making more modern aircraft like the A-6, A-7, F-14, F-15, Harrier and dare I say the A-10... :)

I wonder if any of these have articulated limbs and can be posed differently?? Even if they don't, they still look good and my son will be begging for these.

P-61 Black Widow to Fly Again!!

Sorry Aferg if this has been posted before, but I'm a huge fan of P-61's and this musuem up in Pennsylvania I believe has recovered and is well into restoration of a P-61 to flying status. They now have it on its own fully refurbished landing gear. Anyway, there is some great pics and info about thi...

I'm with Blurx7....I want a P-38 in 1:32 scale. Also wouldn't mind a P-61 BlackWidow in 1:18 and 1:32. I suppose I can dream on that one anyway.

In my experience Wally Land is really a hit or miss (mostly miss)situation and I don't rely on them for stuff I really really want, I go to BadCat for that. However, there is the 1 in a 100th time I check and come across something great like finding a Pearl Harbor P-40. But as many here have said, W...

I would think since they have done all that work to create the molds for a 1:32 scale and with the popularity of the Mustang I think it's just inevitable we will see it 1:18. I'm not a toy making expert but I think with the 1:32 scale molds they have laid the ground work already. I know there is an ...

Guys, I'll gladly take the Hellcat minor flaws and all. I'm just thankful someone is making it. We sometimes forget these are toys and to the average customer they will look at the aircraft and never notice anything about the canopy and landing gear doors. They will see it for what it is...one cool ...

Trade Bf-109 S-1 for FW-190

Got an original 1:18 Bf-109 S-1 brand new in the box that has been sitting around for about 6 years that I actually bought thru the 21C fan site. I would like to swap even for a 1:18 FW-190 S-2 or S-3(no S-1 candy canes please). Send me a PM if you are interested.

Thanks

That's a relief...I was getting worried about AT with the delays announced on BadCat. I'm really looking forward to the Dauntless. Not sure if I will get their Me-262 or wait for 21c's version....kind of torn as to what to do on that one.

BBI seems to be the type of company that does what is wants when it wants and does not appear to be concerned what 21C and AT are putting out. I do think they have their eyes and ears open to the market and to this forum thus the hopefully soon appearance of the Hellcat. They don't seem to be in a ...

Jason, Thanks for the reply, I too am concerned about the "one upsmanship" that seems to be going on. The bells and whistles sound nice but I wouldn't do them for a few reasons. One, it drives up the cost. Two, if things break or don't work right then you have unhappy customers complaining. Three, I...

I have to agree with what most of said WM distribution drives me insane, but it did save 21C and maybe 1:18 all together so they have been a saving grace and a necessary evil but it still doesnt mean that I have to like them. :)

P-61

Jason,

Can you tell me if a P-61 BlackWidow has ever been discussed as even a remote possiblity at AT? I'll understand if you'd rather not divulge that. :)

Thanks
