If they can do that then they could mass produce museum quality 1:15-1:18 scale aircraft that most folks could enjoy, why do the rich get to have all the fun..

That B-17G is what I call "Xtreme Detail" 8)

Still for what we get with a 21c plane, we're getting a bargain!

Thats a beautiful B-17G no doubt about it. BUT its a little to pricey for my pocket book.

I see they are starting on a Kingfisher. I always thought that would be an excellent A/C in 1:18 for 21st or bbi. Unique, but still recognizible by the general public; fairly simple design; and as many, if not more, paint schemes possible as the TBM. Plus they could make it so it floats in the pool!

God if only I had the money.

Those are very nice looking and very expensive as well!! You'd have to have a large area to display them to take advantage of all that detail!!

After paying $80.00 for an Avenger, I can't imagine what a B-17 or B-29 would cost from the same manufacturer!! And then these come along ... can you say EXTREME?!!!!
