21st getting lazy?

Last edited by Canucklehead : 05-18-2007 at 02:29 AM. Reason: direct hyperlink(s) to retail site
I noticed that in the latest 1/32 Corsair pix from TFM that the rockets and bombs are not painted (or painted all white):

www(dot)flyingmule(dot)com/products/TC-13308-S4

This is also the case on another retailer's site so its not a fluke. On prior releases, the ordinace was painted...

www(dot)flyingmule(dot)com/products/TC-13308-S3

www(dot)flyingmule(dot)com/products/TC-13308-S1

Is 21st losing their touch or were 500lbs bombs ever all white?

Only on Hollowells Corsair are the bombs/rockets all white.. On the rest of the Corsairs, the bombs/rockest are painted.. I don't know if this was an error by 21st, but I got one when they first came out (Hollowells was the 1st released Corsair even though it was S4) and they were white then also..
