| Re: My 1/48 Marushin/pacific collection Man, from the distance of the shots the 21st century and marushins blend together well.... that Hellcat's looking more appealing I just want to wait for some more livery choices I think. Nice display Harry. | |||||||||||||

| Re: My 1/48 Marushin/pacific collection The more I see pictures like these, Harry, the more I'm inclined to expand my currently tiny Marushin collection. Like Gort, I really like those Tony's. | |||||||||||||

| Re: My 1/48 Marushin/pacific collection I really do like the 21st Tonys as they are cheap but well made and very detailed. I was really surprised at the level of detail in the cockpit of the Hellcat as it looks like a well built model with painted instrument panel/gauges. The only drawback to the Hellcat, and I didn't notice it until I assembled the second one, is that 21st put the down gear doors on backwards and they are so firmly attached, I would break the gear strut trying to get it apart, but it isn't that noticeable, especially for less than $15. The Camo Tony came and went in my area so fast that I was going to buy extras and they were gone. The Green Tonys (2) came from a member of another board and I like them just as much as the Camo one. I assembled one Green Tony and am keeping the other one for future repaints. The only thing I did to the Green Tony was paint the drop tanks Japanese orange/yellow. | |||||||||||||

I think the one on the middle shelf is a plastic 21st Century -- you can save yourself about $80 clams with that one... looks nice on the shelf too! | ||||||||||||||

I honestly can't tell the difference unless I pick them up. And, IMHO, the 21st jobbies look just a tad better (landing gear, small details) but you didn't hear that from me. | ||||||||||||||

| Re: My 1/48 Marushin/pacific collection Very nice Harry, I like the mix of schemes. Also am with the guys who agree the blend of metal and plastic models works well. I may look into the 21st Century Tonys. | |||||||||||||

| Re: My 1/48 Marushin/pacific collection Great display, Harry. I'll have to check my local stores for the 21st Century Tony. | |||||||||||||
