Thanks!

The inclusion of a flight deck is a wonderful idea, and the model (in 3-D) certainly looks like a Hellcat to me. If they can keep the price in line, they may have a winner here.

Yes indeed. The option of folded wings for a 1/72 is pretty good too

In theory this model certainly seems like it's a cutting edge release, especially in 1/72 scale. What does concern me is all the statements that the Wasp engine has stunning details, the cockpit is fully detailed down to the smallest parts, the wings and landing gear fold from open to closed positions. For that type of detail in 1/72 scale, I would think that only resin would be the way to go. Still, all we have at this point is a CAD drawing. Hopefully the 1st plastic test shots will live up to these standards.
