HK Models?

[Barney]

Are these the guys that ripped off that Dutch company last year... the Dutch announced a B-25 and Squadron or Sprue took pre-order, but the Chinese Co. that was moulding them ripped off the moulds. HK has announced a B-25 & B-17, just like the Dutch Company...


You thoughts?

There was a misunderstanding and both sides lost from all I've read. Martin the Dutch fellow who was the front man and the guy who did so much work bringing the B-25 out has stated that he would prefer people didnt boycott the Chinese company as it would be a shame for these kits and all that work to go to waste. He has formed a new company called WingXL and will be coming out with a c/d model as well as an A-26, B-26, A-20. Here is WingXL's link http://www.wingxl.com/
Hope that helps. Oh and HK will bring out the 3 B-25's and a B-17. My B-25 should be here in a few weeks and I'll post pics.

I figured it was them... These kits are so far out of my price range... I couldn't even ask for one as a gift...

A 1:32 scale B17, That's just nuts!

I think I'll wait for the B-36 or B-52... in 1/24!

There is a 1/32nd scale Lancaster in the works...

I might treat myself to a B25 but really.

Barney a B36 in 1:24 would have a 9.5 foot wing span.

And it would be Glorious!~ :snoopy

Barney a B36 in 1:24 would have a 9.5 foot wing span.

It would still fit on the ceiling in the model room... barely!!! It would block all the light though! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Might make a nifty wind vane outdoors if you could keep it anchored in high winds !

You thoughts remind me of my wife's notion of a Panasonic 103 inch flat screen TV. I told her I would gladly mount it on a wall to fold down like a "Murphy Bed" for whenever family came to stay.

She did not get it (neither my sarcasm nor the TV).
