Anyone here get one of these yet? They look pretty awesome, especially with detailed engine. $95 a pop seems reasonable as well.

Yes - I have all three and they are quite nice - well detailed with numerous display options. The Tuskegee P-51 even has varying colored side panels and the weathering effects on all are well-detailed.
The next one will be a P-47 (I think the Razorback) and from what I heard, the prices should be coming down - thik the prices will come down slightly as the efficiencies are introduced into making the models.
And Mark and Richard at Onmark, Int'l. are good to deal with.

Hope this helps.

vmf214: I concur with smh-1021: The P-51 Bs defy adequate praise. They are extremely detailed, rugged, and come with a pilot figure and Packard-Merlin engine. The only drawback: some assembly is required. However, they snap together easily. I highly recommend them.
Mark at On-Mark says future models will come pre-assembled. Speaking of On-Mark, anyone know when those 1:48 Aero-Art planes will be coming out (if ever)?

Donnieboy,
From my understanding, NOBODY knows "when" or "if" Aeroarts next products will come out.. If ever.........

Yeah, I pretty much gotta have Gentile's plane, was always one of my favorite pilots of all time and my all time favorite Mustang nose art. Thanks to all for the info!
