Thanks Teamski! You made my day. I was dying to get a look at it.
In my line of work I see these often and this one looks dead on for detail.
I'm just hoping it will come out sometime before 2006 :lol:

this is going to sound funny... but looking at some of your other pics team i noticed your "meeting of pilots"

specifically the one with the 1:18 f-18 pilot. I noticed the elbow articulation... being not the crapy swivel articulation, but the nice hinge we are so used to now. is this a custom elbow somehow or is that how the pilots came with the f-18 etc?

i ask because i thought that they had the swivel elbows and was the only reason i was not getting the bird.

so is it in fact the new articulation?

I guess it is the new articulation. It is what the pilot came with. 100% stock............

i suspect fairly soon. BBI usually shows stuff just a few weeks before it becomes available at retailers...

The Sherman is apparently due out in November.
