HeavyArty,

I'm not sure what made you laugh that much, but maybe you could let us all know. I think everybody would like to laugh.

We will see who will be laughing in the end.

If you are laughing at me in the end, that will be great. I have heard of Nightflight for about two years now and seen nothing come from it. When I see it, I will believe it. I hope I am wrong in the end too.

I hope we are BOTH wrong!!!!
I'm also interested in the crew figures. But alas, no show!!!
You go to their website and the last update was November 17, 2003. You go to the news link and no news. Anything would be better than what I am reading. Some pics? A little more info than is given? Anything!!!
I don't wanna sound like I'm griping. But, even AMTech let us know about the delay and why with the upcoming P-61 Blackwidow release.

Thanks Aaron! Smile [:)]

(Here's a picture taken from the Flight Engineer's position (tunnel) inside "Birth Control", as she's getting ready to make Charlie die for his Country.... note the WP marking the target. An Air Assualt began taking fire from the treeline just before landing.... Charlie forgot to take note on who was watching over the insertion and paid the ultimate price for that slip-up!)

Take care,
Frank

I'm getting tears in my eyes looking at Frank's ACH-47 'Birth Control' and imagining it in 1/35. Damned impressive work Frank.

I emailed Panda a gazillion years ago and have still not gotten a reply. Heck i didn't even get an auto-reply that they received my email.

Guess they're all too busy finalizing the molds.

Panda, not unlike MRC, will / has probably succumbed to the prospect, and devoted all their energy in re-producing yet another version of the Huey. (beating a dead horse) Nothing wrong with a Huey, mind you, but come on; there were OTHER helicopters besides the Huey! Maybe the release of the new CH-46E will inspire greatness.... and maybe the inspiration is ALREADY in good hands.... Wink [;)]

Maybe a nice larger scale Chinook will materialize from a source few have even considered?

In the words of one of my old Sergeants; "Keep your eyes on the horizon, boy"! Wink [;)]

I e-mailed Panda and their US distributor (Dragon Models USA) regarding that same info a few days ago, but I doubt I'll get a response from either of them. Disapprove [V]
