Grounds for Divorce (1 Viewer)

[Panzer ace]

I stay away from the K&C Warbirds mostly because if I bought any and the wife found out it would probably be grounds for divorce.

However, I am curious, did K&C ever make an A-10 Thunderbolt/Warthog Warbird?

Don't think they made a A-10

I'm certainly not amongst the most knowledgeable in the forum about this, but I'm pretty sure they never did one, and certain none was made in the connoisseur range.

 

[jazzeum]

Not in the wood variety.

Thanks for the replies. I thought I would check. I know that they did a few modern aircraft but was unsure on the A-10.

A Hind? Now that has to be something to see!

Brad, what scale was the B-52 in? I can't imagine it was as large as 1/32. It wouldn't even fit through a door in that scale. Think the Avro Lancaster or B-17 are large in 1/32, the B-52 is over twice as long as either of them and the wingspan more than 80 ft wider than either of them. The B-52 is huge. -- Al

I would love to see the B-52 also!

Side note, the B-52 is my favorite bomber ever, when I was a kid and we would go to airshows I was always in awe of them.

 

[jazzeum]

I'm not sure of the scale. It's possible it was made in 1/48 since some of the post WW II planes were made in that scale.

Never seen the Gloster Meteor for sell ^&confuse

The Buff is a beast! Hard to find a more important aircraft in Air Force history. It's been in service for near to 60 years and it will be around for years yet. If you want a target leveled, send in the Buffs. ^&cool -- Al

60 years? Amazing.

Just discussing it on the Forum brings back so many memories of seeing them up close.

Now I really want to see the K&C version.

I have a very excellent Corgi B-52 in 1/144 scale. It is a SAC version that flew in Vietnam and is in typical period camo over black. Even in this small scale it is larger than any other airplane that I own (over 2 dozen fighters in 1/30 scale). Corgi made several versions but I am unsure of current availability. -- Al

Neil,

It's not on the website but I recently asked Elsa Li (when I renewed my club membership) what was coming out and she mentioned the Gloster as being available. However, it's $1,400 (exclusive of shipping). A great looking plane but not one I can afford.

Hi Brad cheer for that and agree at $1,400 it to expensive for me is it true that KC don't make these in house but buy them in to order ?
