Anybody else notice the packaging on the "Passion" P-51. It has a flip up cardboard to flip down and protect the cellophane.
About time they did that.

They had to because of the boobies...

No wonder the Spitfire molds "disappeared"... The people who ran 21st (into the ground) couldn't even store their 1/32 scale B-17 prototype in one piece! So much for implementing stricter QC procedures.
Anyways, who needs a B-17 when you can have an M-17 trailer with Maxon quadmount? Can't you people see that it makes so much more sense to sell stuff that nobody wants?
OTOH, maybe they're selling All-Go's P-51 Passion Wagon paint master on e-bay, so at least this time they're liquidating the company assets before going belly up, which is admittedly more profitable than releasing yet another P-51 at $100.

So why are the P-47s listed for more than the Spitfires, or will the Spits bidding rise. Is this a sign that the P-47 molds were damaged too?
Too bad I missed there 1/18 262 for $35

i don't think we're going to see any russian armour in 1/18. I've given up hope of it anyway.
At the slow rate of production with which new things are coming out, we'll be doing well to see the KT this year and maybe the Jagdpanther next year.
One tank per year might be about it and i suspect Russian armour is way, way down low on the priority list....especially given the fact there are a lot of 1/16 russian tanks around now, which has probably gobbled up a good chunk of the market.
Russian soldiers i think we'll see, but i've given up hoping for Russian tanks...
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

All-Go added the cardboard because of the boobies?
Why? All-Go isn't going to sell on Wallyworld, only on the Net. The dreaded sweat stickas kill marks are there also. So who are they being PC for?
So what's next in all cardboard? Little Hitlers? or little fat Goerings? or evil little Himmlers?

I do believe that they add protection. This is the way that JSI Corsairs came. (with the flip top)

the b-17 is much larger than 1/32. With a 55 inch wingspan it's about 1/23 scale.
Must be incorrect dimension quoted.
Sadlly any of the prototypes are going to be way out of my reach. And everyone we see most likely means a toy that will never be produced...

good! I hope they get as much money as possible ...if Aviatornut is correct and this is a move to raise cash to build a company that makes miniture war machines that us poor folk can buy then GOOD...I hope they tap into all the rich money that can afford such prices IF they then turn that profit into new product that we all can buy...well then gods speed little doodle
The sign of a great model is that one’s eye is not drawn to any one feature, yet one can study it for hours and continually find something new.

Disabuse yourselves. If they really need to raise that kind of money ($10k-15k?) by selling their prototypes, it's because they're desperate for cash, not because they're about to release the KT at $60 apiece so that us poor folk can afford it.
