Johnny Dangerously,
Hey there.

I hate to ruin anyones party, but the FOV 1:32 scale planes are ATROCIOUS at best. Between the fact that the gear won't come all the way up (At least it did not on mine.) the rudder popping off, the rivets (Or should I say the RIVETS) and probably 10 other things I could list if I wanted to put some time into it.

Their 1:32 scale are something to avoid. They did a really bad job. Not sloppy, not, "I can look at it sideways and not notice", just BAD.

I'm not a rivet counter by any means so casual mistakes don't really bother me, nor do I notice unless I spend some time on the forum doing the research. However, they really blew it with these planes.

On the other hand, their 1:72 planes are great. Especially the second line of birds that came out recently.

You are better off dropping the extra money on a 1:32 Corgi Mustang. Must nicer plane and if you poke around, you can probably find one inexpensively. (At least I did when I got mine way back when.)

I heard they can be quite tasty with alittle corn chips and salsa on the side with a ice-cold brewski in a frosty mug.
A multi-vitamin would give you all those minerals including zinc and be much cheaper too! Nothing worse than teeth-marks on the wing of a Spitfire, unless you are playing "Dungeons and Dragons" with WWII aircraft....

Interesting pic there STARMAN352nd.
Does look a little purplely.
Interesting note about Capt. John Bennetts 51's. B & D
As far as I know, they were the only 51's in the 8th AF with a sharks mouth.



A shot from a movie of Bodney I got.
