I got the new Winter 2008 catalog from Historic Aviation and it shows some new paint schemes for 2008 Franklin Mint planes in there..I could be wrong but it looks to be FM.
We all know HA does not list the Franklin Mint's name...But you know by the prices and scale it's FM items.
Check it out when you get the new HA catalog.THE NUMBER ON THE RIGHT IS THE CATALOG ITEM NUMBER.
If you want to check it out online put in the item number in the search window and it will show you a picture of it.
All i could see were these 1 of each:
A-10..........................94297B
B-17..........................94283A
B-24..........................94284A
B-25..........................94285B
B-26..........................94286B
P-38 Twin Dragon.........94287A ...I'll get this one...
P-40...........................94288A
FM-1 Wildcat................94294A
F4U-5.........................94295A
F-15C Israeli AF............94304A ...This one too....
F-86E..........................94296A
F-104N........................94303A
Fw-190G.....................94293A
HE-111.......................94290B
Ju-52-3M.....................94300A
Jnukers F.3..................94281A
Me-109G......................94291A

Any new castings?

ANybody know why HA doesn't list company names. Seems goofy to me. I don't order much from them b/c it takes so long to get it but it does give me ideas.

Maybe they don't want you to conduct an independent search and get the planes for less. Don't know.

IIRC, isn't FM really enforcing the MSRP listings for its authorized dealers? Maybe HA not listing who makes the models is a way around this?

The FM-1 Wildcat is my first FM choice of 2008. Why don't online dealers (Flying Mule) show such new offerings?

Nice, it would fit the pattern...

If this is really FM/A I'd love to see more about that F-15C Israeli AF!

EDIT: I am about 100% sure it's FM/As 2008 lineup since I found a Junkers F 13. This model has only been produced in 1/48 by FM so far...

This is really a nice find JP!!!

I'll be pre-ordering that Israeli F-15C as soon as it gets posted. Franklin Mint: if you're listening, please take your time with these new releases and get the paint schemes right this year! (no F-22s with grey cockpits, etc). These are some exciting releases; looks like 2008 will be a good year!
