A few more future releases. (6 Viewers)

I agree about the cost. The B-17 is very much on my wish list! But barring a lottery win or previously unknown wealthy relative that dies and leaves me as the heir it will not be entering the workbench any time soon.

It is a shame when an otherwise decent kit falls down on some details. Because of course they tend to stand out just because of their lack in comparison to the kit. Another site I follow had some of the same reservations with the Mosquito that you pointed out. And they too were dismayed especially in light of the cost of the kit.

Big stuff....is Big Cost......and takes up lots of space....

 

[Robert Porter]

Yes... and no. Revell makes some very nice 1:32 kits at a small fraction of the cost of these. However can't argue that they tend to take up a lot of space.

That could be impressive. Which company is it ?
Merit have released a number of ready-built and painted 1/18th scale aircraft.

Thanks Geo.
I suppose if I remove a window frame, knock a wall down, and remove half of my furniture, I could find room for one !

 

[Robert Porter]

Wow! That would require a real estate investment just to build and another to display! Cool! Who else is gonna order one?

The wingspan of 58,4 cm isn't a large size. It is just barely little bit more than a half of 1 metre .But the model looks great.

A big sucka.

 

[Wayne Little]

BIG alright....

Last I checked, Tamiya's P-51D was selling for well over $200 CDN in my LHS. Nice to see Revell giving them a run for their money. I'm not sure there is a full engine in in this one but I'm pretty sure that it will be very reasonably priced.

Ah, b*llocks !
Now I'll have to break that 'No more kits' rule !!!
Very welcome addition from Revell.

 

[Wayne Little]

Scrubs up alright by the look of it.

 

[Airframes]

I notice there are two different pilot's seats, one of which looks like the earlier type used in the P-51B/C.
I wonder if Revell intend to follow this with a B/C version ?
I hope so.
