Wow that's a lot of money but it appears to be worth every penny. I wonder if it is made out of wood or polystone?

 

[jazzeum]

It's made out of wood.

Wood. And the wings detach for shipping, which will also prevent the little cracks that sometimes form at the wing joints if the plane is stored in the wrong temperature/humidity conditions.

Bite me to much and will warp and crack over time.Simmo.

Let's hope that's a feature of future planes but I doubt it would happen for single engine fighters.

nice airplane,,2500?

 

[Tiger Tank]

Great plane way to expensive for new you collectors... Have to pass on it...

 

[M1SLAPPY]

$2500 is a lot of overtime at the zoo. I think i will pass on the lancaster. If i had the money i would buy it.

 

[damian]

That Lancaster is a must have

 

[nasirkasmani]

$2500 is really a lot for a model plane.
i wonder how many here actually ordered for this.

 

[jazzeum]

Quite a few actually: 35. There are a lot of people who want these. The Warbird business is becoming very successful for K & C.

 

[Louis Badolato]

Back in the 1990's, warbirds were fully 1/4 of K&C's sales. These new warbirds are works of art, and with the launch of the pilots, groundcrew, and aircraft related vehicles Andy mentioned at Chicago, I suspect warbird sales will be very brisk indeed. I suspect that many-many collectors will buy one or two to set up airfield dioramas, even if, like me, they cannot afford to try to collect them all.
