It appears that Air Force One have a B25 tooling in 1:72. The first release will be Doolittles B25B. There will also be a signature edition. 
I have been hanging for another manufacturer to pick up the B25 tooling for an age. I was hoping HM would do it.
Have to say I am so pleased. Not just the tooling, but I don't have the Pooch's Doolittle B25, so this one will be a ceratinty. If its as good as the P61 and they do a better job with the scheme selection than the Hound, then I am gonna all over this tooling.
Should be out in May. 
Clearly WW2 is not dead. And it appears if Corgi are not willing to engage with the US market properly and substantially on its WW2 subjects..........then clearly Air Force 1 are prepared to give it a go. |
Rumour has it that Air Force 1 will be producing a lot of product this year.
The big question is what will be the level of quality though?
Although the P-61 and V-22 have been relatively good - everything else has been pretty sub-standard.
