21st is also making an Old Crow Mustang? Must've missed that thread. I see the scheme is the latter which is cool. I assume it'll be out with the updated and corrected BBD...

Saw them in the new Historic Aviation catalog. According to HA's site the Old Crow is available but I don't think so, they're pretty good about advertising items with little to no info on availability. Only one I recall that had any actual "pre order" info was the Tuskegee bird.

I got the Historic Aviation mag too and I saw that as well. I normally go right out to their warehouse to check things out because they are like 15 min from my house. I'm gonna stop and ask if they have Old Crow and BBD but I wont hold my breath on it due to they always put things in their catalog and its not avalible except for pre-order. I'm looking forward to Old Crow because of the color scheme its wearing. It will go along nice with HHH, and Tender Terror. I'm also going to grab BBD as well because I just love the color scheme. Then its the end of my Mustang buying spree because I have to save room for my Hellcat and Dauntless.

I am not tired of the Mustangs even if BBI and 21 make there own rendition. If they make I will buy it.

It seems as if 21C wants to duplicate and make everything. At least they are giving us choices. Now, spend that time and effort and make something new 21C.

Three completely new planes released last year. I think that beats the comp combined, to be honest.

All they would have to do is make a new canopy and make a spare decking and they will have a NEW P-51 B or C. It should be easy to do. just make it a snap on deal and they could use the same molds.

The same with P-38. Change the large chin radiators and make the earlier sleek rad intakes and you have the earlier model.

21st. If you need anymore ideas I have a bucket full.

Hmm... Do I want to get a 5th P-51 in the "Old Crow" scheme? It is Bud Anderson's scheme afterall and in my favorite version of that plane...

Yeah I'll get one, I like the silver/green Old Crow better than the all green one.

The Big Beautiful Doll should be a great looking model. I hope it is released soon.

I agree that the NMF Old Crow is a cool scheme and the most popular. I passed on the BBI OD version because I knew and was hopeing 21st would do one with their new tool Mustang series and they will be delievering. Thanks 21st. Now I just hope it comes out soon. Im going to call Historic Aviation today to see what the deal is with BBD and Old Crow being in their current catalog. I bet they tell me its pre-order.

21st is still the primary in my book. Remember, as mentioned already, THEY had plans for the Me-262 before any of us even heard of Admiral Toys...

Will the BBD and the Old Crow come out at the same time? I gota find some room for those two Mustangs. I just got the Tuskeege P-51, and it is a beauty.

I called Historic today and I was told they would have Old Crow and BBD instock in about 3 weeks. So for me the wait for these 2 Mustangs is almost over.
