Re: Question about HM's third Spitfire

Pictures of the production model are now available at the DAF, thanks to CFBC! This one looks awesome. Also looks like HM fixed the sunken pilot and painted the rearview mirror. Check it out!

Re: Question about HM's third Spitfire

You know, I had zero interest in this model -- strange for me as I just normally go nuts for anything with invasion stripes like this..... -- then I read the new Flying Tigers newsletter and the backstory on this bird and its pilot. Amazing read, really well done -- that actually captures the "why" of why I collect these models. This one is now on my "must" list.

Re: Question about HM's third Spitfire

Has anyone seen this in stock yet, anywhere? I thought it was supposed to be out a week ago.

But the first ATM is mine and then.....

Re: Question about HM's third Spitfire

Does anyone have any knowledge of why the Maridor Spit has been delayed in the U.S.? Is it in stock at the North American distributor or not? Hawk... any word?

Like I have listed on my News page, the entire shipment that normally leaves Hong Kong on March 25 was delayed and wasn't due to arrive mid April and then allow for all the distribution so it should be showing up any day. I'll check with Hobby Master and get you an update.

Maridor's Spitfire arrived here in The Netherlands a couple of weeks ago. I bought one ( as a gift, not for me ), and I must say it looks very nice, as expected.
