Re: P-40 / P-51B when???

I wonder when in January they will be releasing these? Also interested in the Fw 190 that is supposed to come out this month.

Re: P-40 / P-51B when???

Probably a quarter 'til never...Though, I'd really like to have that P-51B: 1.) it's one of the top four 357th aces so I wouldn't have to have a repaint done and 2.) I could have a -B version of "Old Crow."

I never thought about the possibilities of a Old Crow redo with this one. Good catch, now it all depends on when or if we get it.

If you want to see something that'll make you cry, check out the last page of Squadron's "357th Fighter Group" book. On that page is a picture of Carson's P-51K "Nooky Booky IV" complete with full scoreboard, ready to be SCRAPPED!! Talk about blasphemy...I can't believe no one thought about saving some of this stuff. Of course they were busy trying to get back home and restart their lives, so you can't blame them for that!

Great minds think alike. Of course, we could always use one of the Gemini P-51Bs.

Yeah -- remember, these were originally supposed to come out, like, six months ago. They're the diecast version of vaporware.
 

Nrrrm! Whoosh! Rat-tat-tat!
--sounds of a happy diecast collector

They did WHAT.....
I knew they did that to alot of great planes back then...
With full victory marking on it ?
I have never seen "Nooky Booky" with all the victory markings on the bird.
Other then the airshow bird.
I want the Bare metal to look like this:


Now back to the topic i hope the Dragon P-51B looks as good as the Gemini Aces does.
