Did the seller get second thoughts? Appears the item has ended a tad early, then relisted.

A special edition would appeal to some depending on the scheme and final price. I would hope that perhaps JSI would be inclined to utilize the mold for several future releases. Production may be hard to speculate with the current economy. I look forward to the arrival of the Jolly Roger and will jus...

from bad cat remember that it is just a toy airplane Bad Cat does not apply the same principles when it lists an item in it's Private Reserve. I pay absolutely no attention to that bunch. The Tomcat will arrive and I bet JSI does a great job on it. Lets just give it some time and see when they arri...

Another "Shangri La" went for $128.60 Now we're getting into 1:18 territory. Add "Berlin Express" to the $128.00 list also. That is 5 1/32 a/c that have gone over 80.00 in the last week.

I would not purchase Bad Cat items if they charged me only .01 cent and had it hand delivered free by the Budweiser Bikini Team, much less pay any attention to their opinionated blog remarks.

With two days to go, this thing may go for over a grand once the last-second bid snipers have their say.
Last week a Blue Angel F-18 sold for $1,100. This may top that one.

I am betting we will see more in the future. I just can't see a manufacturer spending all that money on tooling just to issue one plane. Same for the Phantom and Wildcat. :wink: I agree.

1/32 Spitfire or FW-190 trades

Looking for any MIB green 1/32 Zeros if anyone is interested in even trade for MIB Spitfire's or MIB FW-190 red "19"s. Green zero's were extremely rare in my area, but were flooded with Spits and 190's.

I applaud the attempt on the "Kate" but the results of his efforts fall far short of what I would consider professional quality IMO. My first reaction was that of a rushed project to make a "buck" instead of an "kate".
