Will BBI ever release another corsair paint scheme?

I can't remember if I ever read that anywhere, but I've been holding out for an historically correct paint scheme and just am wondering if they ever plan on reusing the mold. Were there ever any rumours about this? Are these planes even still in stock at TRUs or have they been gone for awhile?

Thanks,

Michael

Skyraider toys has a new BBI Corsair up for pre-order.

Yeah, it's the Korean War VMF 312 F4U-4B scheme.

How about the second part of my question? Does anyone still have any corsairs floating around their local TRUs still? I've still seen a few Killer P51s, but no corsairs for a long time...

Thanks,

Michael

I have the BBI Pearl Harbor Zero. It was the first one released and is a wonderful 1:18 aircraft! I'd get the green one (as my 21c "The Flying Undertaker" P-51 would look cool chasing it) but, as usual, don't have the money or space.
