Re: I'd kill for some good Marushin pics.

When were these available?

Some time ago, I guess.. But they went VERY quickly...

It has been close to a year since I saw these available at Aike's Airplanes. Looks like they were snatched up pretty quick.

Amazing that none of these or the Bettys have surfaced on Ebay.

One thing I have noticed is that other than our favorite Ebay retailer, you very rarely see any Marushins on the 'Bay..

Oh...That would be a dream...That would be like finding a needle in a haysack.....
That Betty Bomber is one of the hardest planes to find to date....How many were made by Marushin anyway ?

Re: I'd kill for some good Marushin pics.

Don't know how many were made, but those cigar fuselages sure are distinctive; combined with the Mitsubishi tail, the model will certainly make a visual impact for those who've only seen this a/c in photos and scale drawings. The first Model Hangar collector to get a Mitsy should post some pics so we can enjoy from afar.

Re: I'd kill for some good Marushin pics.

The pre-assembled Marushin planes were originally available in 2003, but sold quickly.. I have emailed Hobby Japan to see if they can get any additional info from Marushin on whether these will be available in the future..

BTW Pappy.... I ordered 1 box each of the Marine/Army pilots for my Marushins, Thanks for continually feeding my addiction..
