I only have two GMPs, a P40 and P51. I'm most disappointed by the news. Like some others I was looking forward to a Corsair. A great pity.

I've been told that GMP discontinued the dio cover because they were breaking during shipping, very fragile.

And thanks Pappy for the congrats on my 1/48 Tamiya Me-262 plastic prebuilt model. I should get it this monday.

I'm eyeing that Petie at the same place, $120 seems almost like a good deal right now... and I'm one of the nuts that paid $150 for a couple of my GMPs... only to see 'em hit ebay for $50 later. I did my part to keep GMP going I guess (glass half full?) Now I suppose that outlook can be applied to the out of biz news as gradually I may recoup my losses... but I don't think I'll ever sell 'em so what'st he point of wondering!

Sad thing is that these "discounted" GMPs are probably the reason GMP is getting out of the ariplane business..
Why make airplanes if you can't make a decent profit???

The few he has are about 10% less than that at W&W right now and that includes shipping.

Yeah, but everything is 20% off right now and free shipping too ($112 shipped). No P3rd, true.

Ah, okay, thanks -- i have those already :-) (And I actually paid less for once!)

OK, so what exactly is a fair price to be paying for GMPs? I have Texas Longhorn and Dutchess Arlene. I wouldn't mind another one of each. Maybe Neville Duke's Kittyhawk and another P51. P51s are a tough choice though. I'd like a blue noser but they all look very good. I've even taken a fancy to Marie. You don't see many yellow tails in diecast.
