HobbyMaster June Preorder News at www.DiecastAirplane.com Feb 11, 2012 Here is the June lineup for Hobby Master releases. A new signed P-51, and even more exciting a 1:48 scale P-47. We get a lot of calls for 1:48 scale models since Franklin Mint dropped the Armour line, so it's nice for us every time Hobby Master ads a new 1:48 scale, and Gabreski's P-47 is a perfect model for the new P-47 mold. For the airliner collectors there are three new models. A Northwest Airlink F-27, Eastern DC-4 and Easter L-1049. Interestingly I just finished reading Ace of Aces: The Life of Captain Eddie Rickenbacker by H. Paul Jeffers. I had read books about Captain Eddie years ago, but I was fascinated by his time at Eastern Airlines and amazed that he built such a large airline without any government subsidies. It's a great story from beginning to end. I only remember flying on Eastern DC-8s and 727s as a kid, but I sure would have liked to have flown in the Connie. Please place orders soon for these models, so we can set our preorder quantities to make sure we have all customers covered when these arrive. Steve
