MoFo Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 It's a Christmas miracle! One of the first reviews of the actual set that I've seen. I know there's been some controversy about it, but they definately are shipping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AD-4N Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I am sure it is a good kit, but I'll wait for the $120 Trumpeter version. (If and when, I mean.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReiShikiSenGuy Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I want one BAD! Alas, I ALSO want the $250 required to get one, so I remain lonely. And I simply CAN'T imagine not having that terriffic nose-art at my disposal. I'd really need resin nose "cutoff" sections to display those other decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crazydon Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I can't help but notice the quote at the bottom of the Cybermodeler piece...that is a review sample provided for free...the ones that are ordered are "still in the mail".....but then I never planned on ordering it since I'm on "the list" anyway......

David Walker Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Seems there was another post over on HyperScale a couple of days ago from someone who actually got one that they ordered. My father was an air traffic controller on Iwo Jima during WWII and talked to a lot of them and my first 747 flight engineer check airman flew them in the Pacific (yeah, he was pretty old when I met him) but that's just too much money for me to spend.

Don Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Well she sure looks sweet and I wouldn't mind having one for certain. But at $250...there's not a chance in H-E double hockey sticks (or "LL" for the non hockey fans among us) that I could stomach ever spending that much on a model kit. I will be content viewing the kits built by others . Regards, Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
klawrence Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I got my copy about two months ago. Although it was way late, I agree it looks to be of extremely good quality. I've always had a big interest in the Liberators and Privateers so as long as I could afford it, I wasn't gong to pass up the opportunity. It will be a long time before I build it though. By the time I get to it, I might decide to see what price they are fetching on e-Bay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
