Dragon Wings has not acknowledged that model #50038 USN VFA-195 "Dambusters" 'Chippy Ho II' F/A-18 Hornet will be a future release on its website, but it has been listed in one of their product brochures.
If I am remembering correctly
On Mark International (
www.onmarkint.com) had previously been taking preorders for this model, but now only has a photo posted that is incorrectly attached to the #50056 USN VFA-195 "Dambusters" 'Chippy Ho 2001' F/A-18 Hornet listing.
Pete's Collectibles (
http://www.petescollectibles.com/dis...temNo=DRW50038) continues to take US$32.95 preorders for the 'Chippy Ho II' plane.
Rather than introducing a new mould with the Ace Pilot Rewards 2003 Model, as was done with the 2002 version (#50030 USN 'Top Gun' F/A-18 Hornet Two-Seater), perhaps the 'Chippy Ho II' Hornet will be this year's reward?
