Now all you need is a traffic control tower.

I would assume you mean the P-51D Mustang? Those were really prototypes. There was also a special one of a kind P-51 scheme that was raffled off as well making 5 Mustangs.

Quoted from 21st's website:
For their celebration of military aviation, 21st Century Toys, Inc. will be selling 1:18 scale pre-production release aircraft. These collectables will come in a limited edition custom printed box designed specifically to match the aircraft. Supplies will be limited at the show and any excess product will be sold in limited quantities.

Also as part of our salute to aviation, fans will have the opportunity to participate in a special on site event for a chance to win several uniquely hand painted schemes of “surprise” 1:18 scale airplanes. This is your chance to win one of a kind collectable aircraft, hand painted by master modeler, Roy Sutherland.

I guessed from this quote that they would be selling more than just the Mustang.. My Bad..

I just noticed that Area 21 has posted pictures of the Comic Con 1/18 scale winners.

they've also got the 'celebrity with the Starfigher' pics up. My favourite is the three stormtrooper examining it (and the first blonde).

Sorry Ferg, Princess Leia is got it going over the blonde...

Post by **p51** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 12:32 am

Hey! That Leia is a friend of mine actually. So is the first blonde... sorta. I shot just about all those images over the span of the entire con.

GREAT times

Oh yeah, right! We know, you hooked up with both of them. Sure... "Yeah she's got a mole on the inside of her right leg, really!"

I believe you. Really!!.....

Wow, what a looker!

And so who's that holding the plane?

I think Britt should be our XD/1:18 poster boy....just to show we're not all like the comic shop guy on the Simpsons.

Website · Post by **Teamski** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 7:55 am

Shame on you Britt! She's a married woman......

-Ski

Post by **p51** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 1:52 pm

She's not married actually. That's not a wedding ring

Poster boy... ha, you guys are too funny! I'm going to estimate that 80% of the collecting market for Military toys are guys (sorry gals!). I think a poster gal would go a much longer way than a guy.
I'm a total geek though

I <i>may</i> post the other photo with the Slave Leia (Zach would know of this photo

)... not sure yet

Okay, well since you mentioned it we JUST have to see it now.

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 4:34 pm

Lucky dog, but then I've had my moments as well... Nothing like getting a pretty girl in your room and upon her seeing your planes and tanks, exclaim "Hey cool! I used to build model cars!"

DocTodd · Post by **DocTodd** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 6:24 pm

Pretty smooth Britt. And I thought you just went to take pics of the planes.

Oh no

Normally I'm there taking photos of Star Wars related people, costumes, and things.

This year, the 501st annual Comic Con 2005 photo (troopers only shot)

Still thinking on that Leia photo...

LMAO.. I wonder how many people asked the two troopers on the front row "Aren't you a little short for a storm trooper??"

Razor17019 · Post by **Razor17019** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 9:09 pm

Britt, please tell us you didn't use that tired old line: "Honey, you wanna hold my German F-104?"

Razor17019 · Post by **Razor17019** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 9:10 pm

More pics of Leia the slave girl!!!!!

Post by **p51** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 10:28 pm

"Honey, you wanna hold my German F-104?"

No... the line I used was "Want to take a ride in my '44 Mustang?"

More pics of Leia the slave girl!!!!!

http://www.bobafettmp.com/celebration3 - Of course, you have to search for them

I'm not going to make it that easy!

I definetely think we need for pics of the:

F-104 GIRLFIGHTER!

i think it was a super move to display the plane in such a great fashion!

I definetely give it a Mach 10 score.

what do you guys think?

ps: all in good fun, ok!
