Re: New 2008 FM shown at Aikens

The "Spotted Ape" is also new for 2008... I can't believe it! My uncle flew this assembly ship after he finished his missions with the 458th Bombardment Group. I may just have to break down and add one of those huge, heavy, under-detailed B-24s to my collection. What do you think the chances are that FM will plug the screw holes????


That is one big, under-detailed, FUGLY B24, too (though the familial tie-in gives you a better excuse than I have for any of my models)

I just got a Dragon and His Tail FM Lib -- great deal -- but I don't have it here yet. (Calling contractors this week for bids on a house extension... )

I find it very puzzling that FM's done not one, but two assembly ships and Corgi's is bargin bin fodder... granted, both of FM's choices are more visually "interesting".
