Have never seen any Carousel one models, but found a site where the whole set of Flyboys Movies Airplanes is $199.50 shipped to my door.
Makes each one under $40.00 with shipping, seems like a good deal.
Has anyone got any info on these releases, I have been to the Carousel 1 site but the pictures are not real big nor detailed, are the planes amazing or just like Model Powers 1/48 / Matchbox 1/48 scale models? Maybe they have rigging? or do these aircraft even have rigging?
The boxes will probably be neat, just dont want to spend $200.00 if they arent really nice but it is the best deal I could find on them. Any opinions would be helpful.
Be neat to have the 1st sets of planes ever released based on a movie?

I have the first 2 Nieuports & the models are works of art. I also paid $70 each. The planes have rigging & a pilot (w/NO face!). Each plane also comes w/ a display base (Fake marble). Considering the quality of these models & the usual higher price, the movie set is a heck of a deal. I already have the 2 Nieuports (in historical markings) so I am not adding these. The Fokkers' I'll have to think about. My only qualm w/the movie set is that they are just that, copies of the movie planes. It may depend on the movie, as it could make or break these models......From the adds on TV the CGI doesn't look like it meshes that well w/the actual scenes. Maybe it'll be better (or worse) on the big screen.....In conclusion, the Carousel1 1/48 models are nice. A good deal at the $40 price.....Hope this helps..(If not blame planenuts)
