Thanks Nopoop. They dont have the first edition Corsair. I do have the P-51 "Big Beautiful Doll (Which BTW is my 78th FG AH Squad plane) as well as The Blond P-47.  I also just purchased the new Checker Nose Corsair from QVC.

You mean the one that just flew over the wittle nazi's heads ??



I have the 4th fighter groups Jug ordered. I'd like to update the 51 at the rear of the picture to Big Beautiful Doll but their currently out of stock. The one I currently have has a lousey paint job, gotta be 5 years old.

Do have some M36 uniforms comin for the wittle nazis to get them out of the M44 crap. Nuttin like an early war wittle nazi.

Spitfire's out first quarter and there's rumors of a 190 in the works..

Gonna be a good year.

My bad, I really knew that, I typed before I thought...yet again..lol

Nopoop, I like the Checker Nose P-51, the paint is great but they got the squaddron insignia wrong on the right side of fuselage.
on the left it is WZ-I but on the right it is W-ZI and should be I-WZ. The tailwheel is a bit bulky and the main gear somewhat week but I like it!!!!

Is that one available? What are the colors. I saw one painted grey once but think it may have been a custom job!

[LtMagee]

There is also three versions of the P-40B out and on the markets!

Problem with the 51 is it's one of their first issues. The 109 shares the same problem. Scale is small compared to the rest,  and the small parts are clunky compared to their later releases.

A retool would be in order in the proper scale. But it still looks neat and I'd rather see further releases rather than a redo of ones done already.

A correct scale G6, or F6F, F4F, 47 bubble top from the late war 56th would rock. I'm looking forward to the 190.

I'd run outta space on my ceiling.

Still looks like a custom paint to me!

I just got a VMF-214 F4U from Franklin Mint for Christmas.  Gorgeous.
