I've copied some of the text from the website below, and you can follow the link above to see all the pictures, etc. Looking forward to seeing the comments from you experts! Thanks, George

  1. Absolutely, Unequivocally, Yes!

  2. It's definitely "definitive." Go look at my "weathered Solomons F4U-1" to get an idea what I will be doing.

  3. Would be, but too rich for my blood. Can't afford any of the Tamiya super kits, or to spend that much on any one kit. I do think it is great that they push the envelope though.

  4. Hell yeah! Even if I have to make a late car payment. 😉

  5. nah...they should have released a 1A o1D...as rob said way overpriced...not excited
