Well that cleared things up pretty quick. Definitely a bit of interesting information there too. Thanks for posting this.

I couldn't agree more with CC. Great reading, and I haven't read it all yet.

I'm betting that the picture of the GA model is overexposed (as far as I know, we have only one picture to work from). To see what overexposure can do to color, see the Fulcrum A pictures on The Flying Mule site. The colors come out medium blue in the first picture and light blue in the other pictures. I received the model yesterday and the actual color is DARK blue. Overexposure can not only change the intensity of a color, but its nature, especially on digital cameras where settings for color saturation can be manually adjusted. It will be interesting to see what the actual model looks like.

As its still a American bird, I can add it to my collection or so I'm telling myself. I agree the OD would go better with the yellow, but either way its ordered! I can't stop myself with the GA Mustangs.

I was really impressed by the Meteorproduction decal sheets for the captured warbirds. Unfortunately looks like the folks that put out those products closed shop this year. I was hoping to snag one of those decal sheets too,,,, bummer.

With a production run of only 750, it might be tough and should be a fast sell-out.
