Marushin ????

I don't know if the site needs a specific Marushin forum ... I wish there was more activity from these guys and they would re-release the "Betty" bomber ... I have 4 of them and are very happy with them ...

I think that we'll have more in this area soon. I'm not going to write Marushin off just yet.

Four Bettys? I thought Marushin only produced two! AFAIK, Marushin hasn't released an aircraft since November 2004. They still make replica fire-arms, but their aircraft toolings appear to be on the back burner.

If you can read Japanese (I can't), you might want to page through their website to see if you can dig up more information:

Re: Marushin ????

I'm guessing he meant four marushin models, not four bettys... If I put four bettys in my office upstairs I think I'd have to add more structural support to the house! I had thought they had released some new schemes at least since Nov 2004 -- some tonys, oscars, franks? Maybe not.. I only have one, a Val, and it's gorgeous (though I still have not been able to attach the dang bomb!)

And I'm kicking myself for not picking up a Betty when they were easy to find.

Cool Re: Marushin ????

4 Marushin Betties! Wicked dude!

Aren't they in 1/48 scale? They must be huge. Got your own hangar there PFB6736?!

Re: Marushin ????

They look cool and they are 1:48 scale.Here's an interesting post from the UK forum with some links to the models. Aiken's site is pretty good to see actual photos of most of them.
