Just got my catalog today, and I LIKE that NASA F-104! If there isn't any 1/72nd 104's with that scheme coming anytime soon, I might have to make an exception to my "no 1/48th" rule to pick this one up...

Received my catalog today as well it even said on the back "The unveiling of Franklin Mint's 2008 Lineup and of Hobby Master's New Premium collection are both happening here!

I spoke to a retailer today and one of the employees said the owner knew what the new FM castings were but she did not... I am sure our retailer friends have already placed orders for them so hopefully we can get some info from them?

My favorites - IAF F-15, Me 262, F-104N, F-86 and the Red Mig-15.

Sorry to disagree with you there, Fly Navy 75 - While there are new versions of old molds, I don't see any NEW CASTINGS (new planes) that would make me thrilled about 2008. Don't get me wrong - I collect primarily F-86's & F-4's, however, having said that, I'd love to "go nuts" over some A-4's, F-100's, F-8's, MiG-21's, A-7's, etc; etc; - you see what I mean? I saying "Oh c'mon, Armour... - we REALLY DON'T need more Phantoms & Sabres... - WHERE IS THE N-E-W stuff.....????? - JY

to wait and see....

Oh yeah, that would be soooo cool!

Hm, I haven't seen a new Hornet either.

I think this is just the beginning.

So far I've seen 23 new models on the H.A. page, last year's catalog sported 40 new models....

I will be picking that one up as well. I just can't have enough of NASA F-104 schemes in my inventory. I may pick up the Red Baron MiG-15 and the Russian MiG-29 "Swift" art deco as well!

My copy came in yesterday, and as usual, some pretty nice items to think about.

That is a great place. I got the FM P-38 with the green dragon tails, and the visible B-17 model. I also got the poster of the hot chick on the corsair.

Uhm, you mean like you ordered them or you found them?

[mustangdriver]

I ordered them from them.
