Fudd, I have found that 1/48th has a way of ambushing you. I am justifying my entry into another scale by telling myself this is where the B-17G will be released in the near future. Anything to get through the day! :wink:

Just wait till you see the new Hellcats that will be coming!!!
I picked up the Tony and after a bit of modifications (gluing the wing root at an angle to get some dihedral and dipping the canopy in future to clear it up) it looks GREAT and goes very well with my 1/48 Marushins!!

Now now gentlemen. Has lack of new releases bored you on the 1/18 forum where you must come slumming here? :wink:

Even if you don't have an interest in smaller scales you must agree this is one sweet looking Tony! 8)
