It’s going to be a great bird! I preordered mine back when they were dirt cheap. I think I got it for around $50. I can’t remember for sure. I will have to check my emails.

Aw shit, ya had me looking forward to some blondes on the beache!!!

70 bucks!

I haven't sprung for any of the repaints of the P-38 since the S-1 version came out, which I purchased at TRU way back in the day. By the looks of the Cutie, I may be adding another '38 to the fleet.

Lightnings look awesome in green/gray with invasion stripes!

New pictures are up on Bad Cats site. For those of you that think this bird isn’t worth the money take a look at these new pics. This plane looks great! I love the nose art!

I am a big fan of the nose art. I wish the companies produced more Vargas-styled nose art

I just got my shipment tracking for my Cali Cutie!!! Yeah!!

Funny, the order says for March 2007. Four months late has got to be a new 21st record!!!

No, no, no!!! You're thinking the wrong direction!!!

Well, while all you boys are loving TRU right now, just wanted to say I got my California Cutie today!!! Looks pretty good, and I love the box!! You all will be stunned when you get your package from Bad Cat...especially if you remember the old P-38 boxes...Almost half the size!!! 21st should do a similar redesign to the other standard 1:18 box.

Didn't take too close a look at the plane, but I can imagine there will be complaints from some about the nose art.

I've had my plane for a couple days and decided to put it together tonight. Not the greatest paint job I've seen from 21st. My BBD is alot cleaner than the P-38. Alot of touch ups, overspray on the drab from the grey, drab showing through the yellow. More but that would just be me being picky Overall I like the scheme it will look good hanging. Now I have to make room.

some one from 21st said that not only the paint scheme is new but also the body and the landing gear....

you guy let me know if there is any different beside the paint job..

thank

My Cutie is someplace in Illinois. Should be in Cincinnati on Monday. I looked at my order confirmation and noticed just how good of a deal I got on it when I pre-ordered it from the Cat. I paid $55 plus shipping. Ended up being $64.99 shipped. That’s a good deal for that plane.

I think that is just a nasty rumor. I would be shocked if 21st retooled the P-38. I know if they did, I would order one immediately!!!

Na, it's the same one....

Alright,

Quiz time. Why did the 20th FG use silver noses? Anyone?
