Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hi everybody,

did anybody hear about those new Mustangs? They seems to be scheduled before christmas:

Greetings from Germany

c00per

Thanks for the intel.

I have not heard a word about these.

Hopefully they are not just selling in Europe.

I really like the Man-O -War !!

Did anything become of the "American Beauty" repaint discussed about 18 months ago?

I would pick up that Man O War and Hun Hunter. Nice looking schemes.

It appears they come with pilot figures.

Those are all really nice looking Mustangs

Clearly they are using the 21c "retooled" P-51 tooling and I'm glad to see that design get new life. Hopefully no bent props now.

I'd like to get one myself, but the problem is which one. The last one, "Easy" appears to be a Tuskegee Airmen plane (which would be great for those of us that never got the 21c version - or were stupid and took theirs back like me). Still, for me, its almost a toss-up with "American Beauty" or "Hun Hunter"

If my googling is giving me the true picture (a nebulous proposition), the cost is the equivalent of over $130 US...
Maybe I'll relent at a later date, but my initial reaction is "Nein, danke"... I got a zillion Mustangs already...

Nah, another Mustang.......I'll pass as well...Boring..

Like all 4. Look forward to adding new releases to all the original's.

I'd be interested in one or two of those, even though I have enough P-51D's.

It would be nice if these were available from a US retailer for reasonable prices.

Maybe testing the German market where the economy is relatively stable?
The US economy is still a little better than the rest of Europe, and these are American planes. I don't get it.

If I remember correctly they were the only distributor of 21st Century Models over here. And I also think they "produced" those Boelke-Starfighters a couple of years ago.

I preordered one of each version, let´s when they show up....

Since i really like the mustang i am about to see if one is possible ? C00per can you update us and dig a little more with your german speaking distributor... when are they supposed to arrive ? who is making them ? etc ... just curious !

Monkey Depot has them on preorder for 99.99

That's cool. Now the big question: do I really need another 1:18 scale P-51? I have 3 21c retooled versions, 2 BBI versions, and my original 21c P-51. Within the past 18 months, I got rid of a couple other P-51s I had that I considered "extras". Still, these new repaints do look good.

I think they will be disappointed in the low sales of these Mustangs...we want something -NEW-

Smalljoes.com just put these up for preorder as well. I'm tempted to buy one just for the novelty of another company's name on the box. Curious to see if they will improve the boxes like JSi did.

I'm increasingly tempted to get one of these as well. I have plenty of P-51s - and these are technically repaints of an existing tooling - but they are lively and interesting schemes and actually come with a figure

According to a website they do not come with pilot figures

Thats odd, according to Smalljoes site they DO come with a pilot.....

I guess we'll see when the pre-orders start showing up.

Merit has begun to take orders from dealers today. they say they should arrive mid feb

1/18 scale P-51’s do come with a Pilot, 2x bombs and 2x Drop Tanks

Greetings:

Interesting they have a pilot figure.

Still a pass from me too. Wish they had fixed the mold in regards to the landing gear as the tires are still way too thin. And there are more than enough Mustangs out there already

I always like more and more since it helps new collectors stay interested

Think there is always room for more P-51 Mustangs. Even in 1/18.

Different liveries have various levels of appeal to collectors, both old and new.

Hope the new line does well, but I have enough myself. And in 1/32, 1/35, and 1/48 too. P-51 is second place in the number of examples I have of a particular aircraft.

Agreed Snake. They really picked a couple of good paint schemes which will definitley pull me in for an order of one or two.
