Outstanding! That's about how I feel about the new Airfix P-40B due out in the Fall. I can barely stand it.
 

I was just looking at the CAD shots of it on their website last week.  I think it's due in October -- such a long wait!

*Wow!  Any idea what your father paied for the L4 back then?*
 
Don't know for sure but I am sure it was under a grand, maybe four or five hundred.  But then inflation has been around 10X since that time.

I like doing small craft, both civilian and military, so probably will pick up at least one of these kits, probably the O-1.  I like doing trainers, something a little different from the most popular subjects.  Have done a T-6 and the PT-17 in the past year, and am working on the BT-13 right now.  Right after war, Dad bought a surplus L-4 and that was our plane for several years.

Heard back from Stevens Intnl. this morning.  The O-1 is due out this summer and the O-2 in the fall.

I have some love for the "push me, pull you"! I'll be adding that one to the stash!

I'd love to see more GA planes in 1/32....I'd definitely be a buyer!

 

You and I both!

Have always loved the old "Mixmaster", that will go great with my 1/32 Phantoms..........

 

Got a request in to US distributer for avail. and suggested pricing on them, and will pass on what I hear back.

 

The M-37 looks interesting as well.

Roden 1/32 Cessna L-19/0-1 Bird Dog and Cessna 0-2 Skymaster
Posted by SubarooMike on Saturday, February 6, 2016 9:48 AM

Being born and raised in a Cessna family (despite my profile and signature picture lol) I was ELATED this morning to see a a list of Rodens 2016 releases!    Though 1/32 is not my normal scale, I can hardly contain my excitment; a 1/32 Bird Dog and Skymaster!  I used to fly mostly right-seat and a little left in a Skymaster for reef surveys. Being the full-time PIC was the owner, I was normally forced to be the observer lol.    I can't help but feel that these will go ever so perect with Trumpeters 1/32 SkyraiderCool    Thought being 1/32 The Bird Dog wont replace Model USAs Bird Dog (WONDERFUL kit), it will just add to the options!   

I don't build jets, but I'm liking the 1/144 C-141 too!  I grew up and live 3 NM fom Dover AFB, so C-5's, 141's, and some 17's are in my blood
