I have been reading a thread on the Small Scale Forum about the upcoming aircraft releases from Admiral. Although I do not collect planes, I do have some of their tanks. Does anyone here have any contact with Jason at Admiral? I consider this a major forum, which I would think would have some contact from Admiral. Just wondering.

Dear Copland and other Members,

I have been quite for quite awhile now. The reason being, once I release information about a product it seems to find its way to stone. I do not like to mention delivery times because there are too many forces out of my control that can limit my accuracy.

However I will talk about the products that you will see: (an update will be in the 1:72 scale forum as well)

ME 262 White 8 as come and gone. We sold out of the White 8 in the first week. We have brought over 100 more that were left in our facility in China. They arrived today.


ME 262 White 7 has arrived in Dallas. We pass customs in Dallas and are waiting on final release. We should ship them out to customers and retailers Friday or Monday at the latest.


SBD is in final tooling. This aircraft will be quite nice. I love the detail on this aircraft. Usually you have to dumb an aircraft done, but there are so many cool things about this aircraft that we tried to keep them all intact. I think it is our best yet.


Skyraider, approved for tooling while I was in China right before thanksgiving. This aircraft will have every working airbrake (a lot of people think there is only two, we have all three working) it is an amazing aircraft. Is it our best? I will reserve comment until after I hold the finished model.


We have the Hartmann CL-13 coming out the first of the year. I approved the final paint while in China.
We also have the new, never talked about, El Diablo F-86E coming with the Hartmann.




Also a new sold silver shipment of F-86s will accompany the Hartmann and CL-13. Those are the one you paint yourself. Jump on those if that is your thing. We usually sell out in 1 week.


Happy holidays,

Hope all is well,
Regards,
Jason
