Alright Guys... I know there isn't a shortage of opinions on this message board...

I've read post after post of they should have made this or that...

Well, now is your chance to decide what paint scheme Series #2 will be.

Yes, its a repaint. Look at this way, repaints help fund "other" projects.

Vote on the poll.

If we have a close race or a tie between 2 schemes, we'll make both!!!

We will take votes through Sunday.

Hah--I was first. I have to say the Tulagi is a sharp scheme.

They all look good to me. The late all midnight blue is a nice counterpoint to the earlier tricolour.

I really like the Randolph, the white tail looks great, but I really wish you guys would make a British scheme for the Hellcat.

I voted Randolph but I am with B24 a British Hellcat would be the SHIZNIT !!!! Those Brit rondels and the camo paint look awsome on the Hellcat.

As it stands right now, we plan on Series 4 being the British Camo Hellcat.

I can see that some of the airspace available for 21c is now becoming congested (as in "congested airspace typically refers to a sector that cannot accept additional aircraft due
to controller workload limitations").

May I ask why no Bunker Hill, or Enterprise shemes?

A BH scheme would go nicely with my avenger, and corsair.

Of the ones you have, I like the Lexington best.

Should be in 6 to 8 weeks.

Great news, I am all over the British Hellcat. Could you show us an example of the British scheme you are going with?

I don't collect 1:18, but I'd go with the Lexington purely because I used to see her every time I crossed the Pensacola Bay Bridge back when she was still stationed at PNAS.

The Randolph was the home of the first Hellcat Ace and then double Ace " Ham " McWhorter . That is why I voted for the Randolph.

The RAF Hellcat has got to have those cool looking invasion stripes . I know this will be a lot more work but this would be one snazzy looking Hellcat.

Tulagi sceme for me. British sceme would also be cool.

I would also vote for the Bunker Hill if it were there to go with my other two birds.

Can't wait to see the RAF Hellcat!!!

:p51:

One HUGE vote for the British Hellcat! I will have a place waiting for that baby.

RAF Hellcat, that is the best 1/18th scale news I have heard in some time. That should be to cool.

Alright a british RAF HELLCAT

AirstrikeToys · Post by **AirstrikeToys** » Thu May 15, 2008 7:42 pm

It's a close race between the Randolph, Tulagi and Lexington. As I mentioned earlier, if the final count is still this close, we'll make all 3...

Okay I gotta ask....why no Minsi III?

I would think that the aircraft flown by the top Navy ace of WWII would be a hit.

I've always wondered why companies are reluctant to make aircraft of top aces. We have no Hartmann, Nishizawa, Gabreski, etc.

Minsi III will eventually be produced but its going to be a while (probably 2009). It's a bit complicated...

LOL, and I'm guessing oil prices and evil Chinese overlords are part of the problem.

Since there won't be a Minsi III in the foreseeable future, I picked the Yorktown. I love that ship.
