Re: Custom HM model

I also tend to go for customs, assuming it is attractive or historically significant, much more than regular releases. I bought all the Flying Mule exclusives until they became too numerous.

While not on your list, there seems to have been a fair amount of support in the past for doing the HM P-39 in the markings of Bud Anderson's bird. I think it could be done very nicely with just the slightest amount of modification. Even better would be to strike a deal with Colonel Anderson to autograph some or all of the models. We've all been waiting for an Old Crow P-51B, which would be fantastic if based on the Gemini mold.

Re: Custom HM model

One special edition I would welcome from HM would be the single TBF survivor out of six Avengers from VT-8 that went out to attack the Japanese fleet at the Battle Of Midway. It carried the code 8-T-3 and sported early war insignias--sans the red dots or red/white rudder stripes. All that would be required to create this model would be a change to the cowl to show the single MG positioned there while filling in the wing gun ports on the current model. No doubt there are other minor differences, but I could live with the gun reconfigurations. Of course, there would be no rockets on the Midway TBF.

That would make for an interesting and good looking model. It would be neat to have an Avenger with the early war insignia.
 

Brewster Buffalo, Hawk 75A, Fokker D.XXI, Polikarpov I-16, Fiat G.50, Macchi C. 200, PZL P.11c, Fieseler Fi 156 Storch ,,,, now those are real planes.

Re: Custom HM model

I'm all for the A-10 flown by Killer Chick , a OLD CROW P-39, I really want a 3 tone Hellcat with the large red outlined insignia (not the small one as one Dragon's).
 

See ya all in about 15 months!!

Even though I have a converted one, I'd still be up for this one...ESPECIALLY if it was signed by Col. Anderson himself!
