Ive seen this in a magazine I get in the mail called Historic Aviation and its listed for $119. Sorry about the quality I kinda re sized it a little to much.

Yeah I get the same magazine, that's where I first saw it. It's 1/32 scale so I think I'll put it on my Xmas wishlist although gettin' mama to buy me planes for gifts is like pulling teeth.. :wink:

King & Country is actually 1:30 scale. They were supposed to be adding to their line of moderately priced warbirds but so far no luck. Currently they are producing super limited runs of 20 pieces per model at around $800-900. I think they are having a hard time finding a factory that can provide the quality they are looking for in the larger quantities.

I'm always amazed at the level of detail that K&C put into their products. They are second to none IMHO. They are just a bit too rich for my blood to own too many. I'm with vmf214 on this and would like to know if anyone has their latest aircraft and have any reviews they would like to share.

From everything I have heard most people are very impressed with this model. It has the expected K&C quality with both the aircraft and the figures.

One interesting note to be aware of is that there is no evidence that this aircraft ever went beyond the drawing board. It doen't appear that even a prototype was ever made.

With that aside it is still a good piece.

Here is the flyer associated with the Rammjager and the WS101 Transport. They make a very good set together.
