I pre-ordered a Revell / Monogram 1/48 Visible B-17G yesterday from
hobbylinc.com. I hope this is for real. I've been trying to get one
of these for about 2 years. The price is certainly a lot better on
what I hope is a reissue of this kit. They have been pushing $200 on
ebay (:>

I found a lost treasure sorting through my stash...a Monogram 1:24
Visible UH-1 Huey. Some day I'll tackle it and add tons of extras
because they will be seen not hidden away like in most models.

You make sure you don't bump into that rotor when it's spinning because
it packs a wallop.
I ended up with a bruise on my finger from that thing. :-)

Does that mean they're sought after? I still have the Monogram kit I got as
a present about 17 years ago, I was too reluctant to build it as I thought
my skills wouldn't do the kit justice. Still think the same thing mind....

TowerHobbies is selling the visible B-17G for $27.99 (but out of stock
at the moment)
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&P=SM&I=LXSGX4

Yeah, I remember the joke... (slightly changed here)
Man goes into hobbylink and asks for the B-17G. Hobbylink says "That
will be $50".
Man says "$50"? TowerHobbies is selling it for $28."
Clerk says "Why don't you get it at towerhobbies then"?
Man says "Because they are out of it"
Clerk says "Well, when we are out of it, we will sell it for $20"

Good.......someone else is now taking orders for this kit. That means
we might actually see it before Christmas (I hope). I'll gladly pay
the $28. I'm just happy I'm not the guy who just bought one on ebay
for $200 (:>
