About seven or eight years ago, about the time I realized I didn't have the time to build plastic anymore, I looked at a few Armour and thought "Yuck! I will stick with plastic." Every time I am tempted to buy a FM, I go to my local hobby shop, inspect a few, remind myself of how awful they look, and I am cured. I will never buy one unless they "reboot" retool and rise to the standard of Eagles.

Eventually, FM models will be on the table. For now, we will attempt to produce only unique aircraft and aircraft variants. I really want to build the
"D", it's to great an aircraft not to be designed and cast with a little TLC.

Someday...
but not someday soon.

How do you feel about the chances of an Avenger and a P-61 form them? I know threre is a sight that says that, but I wanted to ask the pro from Dover here. If they did make them, they would be a dream.

Mark,
Will there be any announcements soon about future products that will be coming out for Eagles International ?

My life is half over, and to think that I will not enjoy an outstanding diecast P-51D in 1:48 someday soon makes me want to... I guess the same will be true for a Spitfire Mk. V, P-38J... the list could go on and on.

Now I REALLY dislike FM !!

Have these aweful feelings of yours changed at all a year later, Elmer?

I saw this thread reactivated and I got all tingly and excited... alas, it is only fly asking me if my feelings toward FM/A have changed. Well, here we are one year later, and no closer to an awesome 1:48 P-51D. Need you ask, fly?

You know that was last written 1yr ago and we still have no updates on the little teaser Mark started.

Yessir, you are right. 2007 was a tad bit disappointing for 1:48: EI only got two Texans out (very late), no new molds from C1, and only two molds from HM.

I missed or ignored this thread last year and when I pulled it up tonight I was rather excited... until I noticed the date. AC are losing their allure to me with my other interest but I would buy multiple EI Tbolts. I can dream.......

I still can't believe the Texan got made before the Thunderbolt - oh well.
