Just asking for a friend…how many 109’s can I buy….I mean can he buy before it’s considered an illness?

 

They ain't inexpensive.  And they don't have seatbelts.

... I'm not much of a P-51 fan but a B/C will get my attention real quick. Didn't HK talk about putting one out awhile back? or am I hallucinating again?

Yep, HK promised one !

I suspect HK have learned from their mistakes of over promising on new kits.   Yes they did promise a P51B and also a Spey engined F4 Phantom 2 that I was particularly interested in, neither of which have materialised yet

and, who knows, maybe never will.    
 

They did not publicise the Havoc until an advanced stage of development  and, if I remember correctly, the 1/48 B17 and Lancaster also.  
 

Whether that F4 and P51B will ever appear I really don't know but hopefully in future they won’t raise expectations until a kit is ‘in the bag’.

Then the way is clear for someone to do these ,correct?  Personally, I'd like to see Z-M or Tamiya come through [ doubtful about Tamiya though ]With all the clamor about P-51 B/Cs one would think there's a market for them, Trumpeter fumbled the ball BIG time.

Yes I hate to think that I will have to settle for the Trumpeter P-51B in order to have early Mustang in the case.
