I have to say, I love the new packaging for the 2007 items. These boxes are very nice. They have a very sturdy construction and great graphics. The inserts are very nice too. IMHO, They just make the model feel more exclusive, more valuable. I think you'll see what I mean when you get yours.

Not really.. If you consider, "Glamorous Glen" or "Old Crow", those planes are synonimous with Chuck Yeager and Bud Anderson , even if they don't come with pilots.. I like the fact that the Predator series comes with the "numbered" booklet and box lid insert which gives a bunch of good info about the plane and it's pilot..

(On a side note, I do wished these came with a pilot, and with HM's attempts lately, it would seem this will become a reality in future releases)

I can't answer that one... Maybe NOT part of the deal???

Maybe NOT part of the deal

I thought HM had said there was NO deal.

"January 23, 2007
Hobby Master has issued this statement in an effort to clear up some misunderstanding or
confusion concerning the A-10 and A-4.

"Some of our distributors noted that Corgi will release the A-10 and A-4 in Sept. We would
like to clarify that these have no relation with Hobby Master products at all. In other words,
they are molds developed by Corgi on its own and not manufactured by Hobby Master."

Or, is this just PR?

[zed550]

its only the a-10 and a-4 that corgi are using their own moulds.

Looks very nice. I'm quite surprised by this release. I expected it later for some reason. Are they in fact identical to HM?

I don't see any missles on this bird. Does it come with any? Thanks

Is that flight stand made of plastic or medal ?
I would like to see how it mounts on the planes.
I like the new style they came up with.
