Betty anyone?

I am new over here and I hear you guys love Betty? I have nearly every version made of every aircraft by Marushin because I bought them from Hobbylink when they first came out. I have never even displayed them yet. They are solid metal through and through and are VERY HEAVY. They are great but simply lack cockpit detail.

Re: Betty anyone?

Welcome to our little asylum, Lanside. As Ara1 said, pics would be great! You know, your title seems to imply you selling them......?

Re: Betty anyone?

Maybe. I need to research what it is worth. I have the dark green top w/ gray bottom Misawa version. It has never seen the light of day in its box in my collection closet and will take some time to dig out.

I hope you can dig it out soon. I can't wait to see it myself. It would be nice if Marushin could reissue the Betty bomber with an Ohka "Cherry Blossom" rocket bomb...now that I would
acquire in a heartbeat!

Welcome to the forum, btw.

Wish someone would make one in a 1/72 scale with the Ohka rocket bomb too.

I have seen this kit and I am considering building one after I finish my current (numerous) other projects..

I agree, but I like the Dinah, a really streamlined and great looking plane that seems to get forgotten.
I am afraid it will never be made for just that reason.
