Cool!!! And here I thought I was done with 1/48....

Very cool! Perhaps they'll be like the P-51B and eventually lead to a 1:32 release

Now, how long do we have to wait for the new planes?

Wow! Add another F6F to my collection. Anyword on a release date for the Hellcat? It may be in 1/48th scale but I will take it. Maybe 21st will eventually upgrade it to 1/32nd scale. Way to go 21st.

They look great! But wish they were 1:32.

They look great! But wish they were 1:18.

Gotta get both, wouldn't mind those in 1:32 either. We need a 1:32 and 1:48 scale P-38 and P-61 already!!!...man those would be some great birds to have in those scales.

I hope they come to 1:32 because I won't touch 1:48.

I am with you Rowsdower. I have enough scales floating around right now and am not ready for another.

Perhaps some two or four engined AC would tempt me though...

True, a P-38 or maybe a Mosquito I might buy. I cheated and got the 1:48 FOV Apache but that is it. 1:32 and 1:72 are enough.

This was a fun quandry- I quickly excused myself from the 1/6 arena after several pieces, made myself ignore the 1/48th armor, but had to keep getting the 1/48th AC. The 1/18th and 1/32nd pieces are enough, and thats just buying 21st, admiral, and BBI stuff

MightyMustang · Post by **MightyMustang** » Wed Nov 21, 2007 7:18 pm

I think my days of 1/18th are over until the Admiral Dauntless comes out or BBI comes out with a repaint of Dave Mcampbells Minisi III F6F. Until then though the 1/18th thing is over for awhile. Now its 1/48th and 1/32nd only.

I have joined the Dark Side!

Wish they were bigger but I'll take it.

All of my 1/48 are diecast metal and sitting in curios but I think that this Tony will be an exception to the rule.

Now if they will make this same exact one in 1/32 I'll be a happy guy.

Since I have been converting my collection from 1/32 to 1/48, I am very happy to see this set and I think they will compliment my Marushin collection nicely..

I have a Maru$hin collection too.

Too bad their Tonys are painted like that - that's the coolest looking one. Kobayashis?

I agree.. I have both of the early Marushin Tonys and wished one of them was in this scheme, but now I can get one for less than $10!!!

So, do you have the pre-assembled ones too??
