Built the Revell one a few years back...this one I've been waiting on an update on for a while ...would love to score a review copy on this one!

It's on my 2012 purchase list as well. If they just could do a new Kingfisher also....

I see from the preview pics they've included George Gay's plane's scheme...the only survivor from Hornet's fated squadron at Midway. The only thing missing is the nose art for the torpedoes I drew mine in with a white fine-tip paint pen when I did my Revell one...here is a pretty neat site on this squadron...with them posing next to their torpedo art-- Saul might like this...

I'd be interested to know how the fit on these guys' kits are...anyone built the FW-189 yet??

 

[Sharkmouth]

I own ZERO Great Wall Hobby kits.. although I thought about their P-61 for a bit and remembered I still have two unbuilt 72nd scale Dragon kits in the stash with PE enhancement sets.

Great Wall Hobby is distributed in the US by Dragon Models USA.

Well... a bit ruch for my blood at this time....

I second the Kingfisher... After you get the kit at $15 and spend $100 on resin conversions... *sigh*

Yikes, kinda steep, I'm with Barney on this. I'll wait till they are in the bargain bin. Neat subject though!

 

[Jeeves]

Well...being as how I am crazy about the USN carrier birds from WWII, I am pretty excited...enough to preorder this baby...it is steep...but when it's something that interests me, it's worth it!

 

[Barney]

Oh, I am way more than interested... but also in Month 8 of UNEMPLOYMENT :S

So it goes on the list of... "Just gotta get when I get a job"

 

[Jeeves]

I hear ya Barney...I am considering it a Valentine's Day present...especially since according to Great Models where I preordered it, that is when it is available

 

[Barney]

Valentine's Day! Gasp.... hmy:


That completely throws the budget off... flowers, chocolate covered strawberries... hmmm what am I gonna get my sweetie?
