Very happy that HM is doing the A-26, but just not that excited about "Stinky"

I will wait for the black, Korea version. 8)

I'm pretty stoked about "Stinky," at least from the pictures - I've got one on preorder that should arrive next week, so then I'll be able to assess it in person...

Yes, I would have prefered noseart with a different name and a somewhat less-glaring face, (though one has to laugh at the fact that such a beautiful model is called "Stinky" :lol: ) Nevertheless, Hobbymaster has otherwise chosen a classic WWII look for the A-26B and I couldn't have asked for better justice on a first release. It has that classic warbird feel to it that should appeal to wide range of collectors.

I think had HM released the Korean version, or say one of the heavily-modified Vietnam versions initially, they might not have gotten as many sales out of the tooling until they brought the WWII version out. Don't get me wrong on the Korean version, however, as I plan on picking that one up as well since I'm an Invader fan 8)
