I'm sure there are millions of modelers worldwide who are anxious to see this work of art!!! We are tired of seeing only F-16s, F-14s, Mustangs, Spitfires, Hurricanes, P47s etc. It also happens with plastic models. Always the same subjects when there are thousands of prototypes worth modelling but have never been made as scale models both plastic and/or card arguing a so-called "No market" It reminds me when the old ENTEX Corporation finally decided to sell a model of the RMS Titanic in 1973. The Titanic Historical Society had contacted all major model manufacturers of the time including Revell, Monogram, Lindberg, Aurora, Testors etc. with no luck arguing that "nobody would buy a model of a tragedy like the Titanic" Seems that sometimes market studies don't work. Just count today how many card, plastic and wooden Titanics are available? Entex sold their Titanic by millions and took advantage of being the only model available until Revell, several years later, copied the Entex model and released a simpler and smaller version. The Skymaster model is a relief!!! It is refreshing and it is also historical and beautiful. Thanks Chris!!
