Looks pretty good to me....
The German one looks kinda a neat.

These look nice, but with the 1/48 EI T-6 coming out soon (supposedly...), I'll pass (yes, I'm biased towards 1/48...).

Oh i know the EI 1/48 is going to be slick too.
But for these being in that scale is nice too.
I wish they had a red T-6 in the German markings.

Yes, I know what you mean, they look so nice it's hard to say no, but I've got to allocate my relatively limited funds to priorities, and to me that's going to be 1/48. On top of that, I've been really impressed by EI products so far, so I'm really eager to see their T-6.

I'm going to get an all dark-yellow one for sure, probably Navy. Maybe one other in the course of throwing money at anything I like at the moment...

These look very nice, and should be good sellers. It's for sure HM won't run out of paint schemes (it would probably be a life-time project to locate and catalog all the varied schemes). Even the names seem legion: AT-6, T-6, Texan, Harvard, and, uh...Zero?

You got my vote on that, B6!

Ditto FVD. However, the early March 07 release on EI's web-site is turning into late March, and will soon be early April! EI sure seems to struggle with bringing its products to market. It would be great if Mark could give us an up-date (I know he will when he can).

I love the pic that Black 6 posted! I'd buy one of those.

Well, I'm pretty biased towards 1/48 so I can wait a few months if I have to. In fact, I may be more interested in some of the later EI T-6 releases anyway. I'll probably get one early release and another one later.

I'm not saying the waiting is not painful, though...
