Now that's nice! I'll take one of ANY version, we're starved when it comes to Japanese hardware . I mean we got Zeros and Raidens and such but there's more to be done. mywifehatesmodels and KiwiZac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 If you can get there I can tell you there is some neat aircraft including the P-40B, the cockpit section of a Lanc, and is the new home of 'Yellow 10,' the Fw190D-11. Not to mention some AFV's and other cool stuff. LSP_K2 and CRAZY IVAN5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention some AFV's and other cool stuff. And, to boot, after being closed and the rumored sale of all aircraft after Paul Allen died, the museum and all of its contents have been purchased by the Walton family, who are keeping the museum in Washington state, and opening it up here very shortly after being closed for several years. Outside of Paul Allen, his family had zero interest in history and keeping the museum open, thus his family estate attempted to sell of anything they could. I'm not sure if any of his restorations actually sold before the Walton's bought everything. He had some really great projects in the pipeline, including a Ju-87R, Me-262 with remanufactured Jumo engines, and a Fw-189, all being restored to flying. He had a B-17E in long term restoration, and he was rumored to be gathering pieces for a G4M Betty and Ju-88, which would also be flying examples. I've never been (missed an opportunity on a vacation before they closed), but from what I hear, it is one of the most impressive museums around. - Dennis S.

Mount Juliet, TN USA I got to go to this heaven before it closed , absolutely stunning! Talk about your sensory overload, outside of the Air Force and Naval aviation museums and the Smithsonian Air and space, it's great ! what's better ,it's a living museum, these planes are live and in technocolor baby!

Granger Davis Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Actually saw that the museum is only going to be in Washington for a couple of years until the Waltons get their permanent museum spot in Arkansas finished KiwiZac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was rumor that it would just stay closed until 2024 when the new facility opens in Arkansas, but I figure that the opening of the new facility got pushed back a little, and it made more financial sense to just open 'er back up in Washington for the time being. I also imagine the process of getting the aircraft across the US will take some time. Most are flyable, but not all. And finding pilots to move them will be a process, too. Steve Hinton can only fly one airplane at a time :-p The new spot will be within driving distance of me here in TN, so that's pretty exciting. - Dennis S.

KiwiZac Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 They say the museum will be open April-September in its current location...Reno is in September...and I may be going...FHC/FHCAM has been on my To Do list since day one so I am very, very excited. Also I've been waiting for that Stuka to fly since I was seven so I'm hoping Steuart continues it to airworthiness! 25 minutes ago, Dennis7423 said: And finding pilots to move them will be a process, too.

And what an event it will be! Dennis7423 and Granger Davis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 At one time, I was very much wanting a new Ki-43 in 1:32 scale, but now that I'm unloading a bunch of my larger airplane kits, I'm cool if it never gets done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 The Hasegawa kit is pretty accurate though. It's maybe a little lacking in cockpit detail but the real aircraft was pretty basic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
