HobbyMaster and SkyMax November Release Warbirds


Diecast Warbird News 07/30/10 from www.DiecastAirplane.com

Here's the good news:

Hobby Master and Sky Max have announced their November release models. If you are planning ahead for Christmas these will be in your stocking. The third F-111 is selling briskly and we only put it on the website yesterday so order this early. The P-51 Duchess Arlene is also a nice addition. This Tuskeegee Airman model was always one of our best sellers in the Franklin Mint line, so it is a welcome addition, and a much better model at a better price.

Now the bad news:

1. The Mig-23 from Red Falcon models has been cancelled. If you have a preorder on this we will notify you directly of the cancellation.

2. The new Jolly Rogers F-14 from Century Wings was greatly underproduced and everybody got drastically shorted on this model. We got 5% of what we ordered. Some dealers got none. You can't imagine how frustrating this is for everyone involved. We'll be sending out emails to those customers that we will be unable to fill orders for this. I've asked for clarification on whether a later run will be done to fill original orders, but it seems like this is not going to happen.
