RATS!

Now they come out with it after I've spent 6 months working on the kit. Being able to personalize the covering is one big reason I don't like ARFs.

Now the BIG question is: If they ARF the P-47 like the rumors have said, will they be smart and release an ARC version at the same time!?!?

Mitsubishi A6M Zero or a Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien.

I give my vote for you.
Not hollywood Zero but scale Zero as for Zero
since Marutaka has quited their business.
And there is no Hien 60 size kit available now.

If you dig up an old thread some people complain, if you start a new thread some people complain.

Anyway, I don't care if TF comes out with anymore kits.

who cares did you see the H9 P47

, Top Flight is like IBM , too slow and a day late !!! just kidding , but they better get there act in gear or they will be aced again by H9 with the new P47 .Considering that Top flight has some of the most modeled kits in the 60 to 90 size , they let H9 take that market in the ARF market , now they battle in the giant scale and by far Top Flight Giant P51 is better then the H9 , however Top Flight is slow to market and in-turn they lose market share . Some may say slow is good , because you get it correct , well that was the old days now marketing has to be quick and correct at the same time .
