Title: Toad! New B25 for ya
Post by: Guppy35 on March 05, 2007, 05:38:36 PM

Turns out 21st Century toys is doing a 1/18th scale version to go with all their other birds.  Not quite 1/1 scale for your Dad, but getting closer :)

Sticking to Franklin Mint, Armour P38s here.  I have em all but 1 now.  15 down, 1 to go.  The first one too :(  Harder to find.

The original effort with the shark mouths on the  intakes.  20th FG bird.

Someone at Franklin Mint is biased to the 20th clearly with 4 of them:)

3 475th, 2 80th FS 1 370th FG, 1 367th FG, 1 49th FG, Yippee and 2 Recce F5s. and Bong's 5th HQ bird.

Not a single MTO bird yet.

That's a big girl!

Did you ask Bodhi about them Guppy?  He's got quite a few of the armour collection, I'll go see if I can find the list and check for you.

I might have found it here (http://www.aikensairplanes.com/franklinmint48/armour98112.htm) It's the only one with shark mouths on the intakes.

That is huge!

I'm not sure where my Dad would put something that big. If he can find a place though, I'll get him one.

Thanks, Dan!

What we do know is that this beast of an airplane will measure
45" in wingspan and almost 36" in length,

:eek:  That's as tall as some of my squaddies.

Would that be a "Front Door Guard" instead of a "Gate Guard"? :)

I've been collecting the 1:18 aircraft for about eight months now, and they are all rather large. The smallest I have in my collection is the 109e-4 with a wingspan a little under two feet. The largest I have is the P38 with a wingspan around three feet. IIRC the b25, (which was just anounced by 21st on 2/28/07) will have a wingspan around four feet. Yes I will have to get one if it does actually go into production. Where I will put it is another question all together. The F4 Phantom is another must have,(hopefuly in Showtime 100 paint scheme) again where I will put it is another problem.

Man i'm already running out of room with the 1/18's i have , I cant wait to see one .  Walmart is the only place around me that has them , and they usually get 10-15 of the same plane . I have to give them as gifts to kids and family members just to get them to order something different . lol
