Ok Skunky... where did you borrow it from??

I wish C1 would expand the P-40 line with more AVG liveries and more RAF sharkmouthed liveries.

I second that Elmer, its such a good mould they must make more of them surely.
 

God Bless America.

Re: Which WW II Diecast Planes Would You Buy If Offered For the First Time In 1:48 Sc

Thanks for that Elmer!

You're welcome! But in all seriousness, I for one appreciate your "strong advocacy" for C1's awesome Doras. I hope C1 appreciates it also.

Lately I've been considering the Barkhorn version but have yet to take the plunge (they're not cheap and postage is a pain) .

Yeah... I got mine with a TFM coupon and combining a few other items, free shipping. A bit easier for me; I imagine a more difficult decision for you.

It is now hard for me to say which of the three models are my fav. I like the liveries of the D-11 and D-13 more than the D-9, but I love the nose guns, blisters, intake of the D-9 more than the D-11 and D-13 variants. I guess if one likes the more "streamlined" nose of the D-11 and D-13, plus the "colorful" liveries of C1's D-11 and D-13, then which model to choose may be an easier decision. I finally came to the conclusion that I couldn't decide, so I chose all of them!

Yeah... I hope so, and I think so... but it seems C1 is more conservative than its competitors in its release schedule. The P-40 was its first line released two years ago, and still only three models. The Bf-109 and the Fokker Dr.1 which came along later now have four and five releases, respectively.

Anyway, here's keeping fingers crossed for more P-40 models.

I just noticed that I am really getting off topic here. Earlier I said ANY good model in 1:48, but I will be more specific now and say I next want: (tie) P-51D / P-6E Hawk.
