32x
Not sure but it seems there are actually two different model zeros. Who would have thought that 1:18 would become the bastard step-child of 1/32. Oh well.aferguson wrote:i think all those pictures are of plastic model kits built up and photographed and not the actual 32x planes, that's why the subtle differences between Zeros..
It really seems nothing is out of reach in 1/32. How hard would it be to make that 202 a 205? After that look for pacific theater fighters (they are behind in that area) and then one of the bombers we drool over in 1:18. Basically anything we would love to see in XD I expect in 32x nowadays.

Unfortunately, I think it's a repaint..tmanthegreat wrote:Just saw pictures of the new 32x "Ridge Runner" P-51. Is this supposed to be a retooled mould in the manner of its 1:18 cousin, or just a repaint of the existing 32x P-51?

Awesome pics TKO!!!
Bummer about the P-51, but the new 202s-205s and Zeros look GREAT and I can't wait to add them to my collection...
Any chance we'll get our hands on some of those clear stands??

They are showing up in California See the posts in the AO Recon thread, starting on page 8:
viewtopic.php?t=930&start=140
You can see pictures I took of the Macchi and Saipan Zero on my website:
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shampts@s ... /my_photos
They are some of the best 32x planes to date!

Sweet pictures hworth. I can't wait to get my airplanes, but here in Miami things are not going very well with WMs and TRUs. In fact, I've seen nothing but empty shelves since Christmas. Hope things get better here soon.

The man that loves his job never works a day in his life.
I had a question about the 21s Zero. Are they offering it in the grey scheme? Also, I seem to recall the Macchis had German engines in them.
Finally, remember the days in school when the teacher caught you chewing gum in class and asked if you had enough for everyone? I think we should have a rule that says if you post a picture of a new 21st release, especially if you own it, you should have to have enough planes to send out to everyone on the board who wants one. Being in NJ we are the furthest from the west coast. We get stuff but it takes sooo long!

Hey, I am just keeping the list updated and have no further connection to the pics posted here.. So if you really want some, you'll have to bring your own..krieglok wrote:I had a question about the 21s Zero. Are they offering it in the grey scheme?

The Zero is being issued in 2 white (grey?) schemes and the rest in various greens.. The Macchi had the same DB engine as the Bf-109s although the performance wasn't the same..

yes, the 'grey' zero is pictured, it is the second zero. The colour wasn't actually grey but a very light carmel tinted green. Looks a tad dark in the photo but the shade is right.
Yes the macchis used german daimler engines, the same used in the 109G. The 202 used an early version and the 205 used a later version that required additonal cooling, hence the tube shaped oil coolers on each side of the chin on the cowl on the 205.

Having seen the gray 32x Zero (in the box only) and using the concept model picture earlier in the thread and also the BBI Zero, it can be said that the color on the actual 32x plane is a little more "gray" than the whitish green. You may be able to see what I mean in this photo of the plane from an ebay acution:
Still, its a great looking plane.
