Yes they do. They have a 1/48 PV-1 Ventura due out soon, RG just released a 1/32 Arado AR-196, and a 1/32 He-111 is due out this year as well. I would hardly call that not competing. And I am glad they are re popping the older kits because that guts the gougers on Ebay.
You have a point. 
I have one in the mail. [:D] I would be interesting in a GB if one is decided so that noone else can have the ugliest build of the group! Also, I am interested in what photo etch is going to be available.
Cool decals for this kit:
OOOOOOoooo! I like “Sally B”!
Got one of these on the way too, was kinda thinkin of doing “Mount’n Ride”.
I like “Windy City” and “Gee Whiz” on that sheet—I think these are ficticious planes used in the movie “Memphis Belle”…here’s a couple more sheets of actual a/c, including “Mount 'N Ride”…
Will HAVE to get one of these babies… (maybe 2 !)
just got mine today! and it comes in a big box…much larger than some of the 1/48 kit boxes i have! There is a 16 page booklet included with over 90 steps (!!) IM looking forward to this one!! [:P]

Owl, you got the kit for $26.00, correct?
I was just telling one of my local modelers about the kit and that it looked pretty nice… if I tell him it is less than $30.00 he will jump all over it!
yeah the list price on scalehobbyiest.com was 26.94 but with shipping it came out to be 35.89. Still cheaper than than squadron.
Absolutely, and thank you for the information!
sure thing! [t$t]
They are the ficticious planes from the moive, well except for “Sally B,” she’s a restored Fort based in the UK. Still I might have to go and get one of those sheets.
Kinda of hoping someone relases a decal sheet of all of the restored Forts that are still flying, that would be really cool! [H]
Damned world [bnghead] one month ago i brought the old b-17f academy from a friend… cheaper than the revell kit but no confrontation for details (no internal details inside for the structures)
here a link from german modelling site for the new kit from revell, good pictures of sprues
If somebody builds “nine o nine” please post pics. I have seen and been in it and thought it was really cool. It dosent come back until october so i wont have anything fresh in my mind, but i have a picture of it and 2 other restored planes
This kit comes with decals for “Nine O Nine”…there’s a start anyway, and of course “Memphis Bell” is all over the place!
I’ve started mine and will have a wip going late tonight or in the A.M.
I don’t do 72 scale, but now I’m thinking of getting the kit if it has 909 decals. Now how about Sentimental Journey, Fuddy Duddy, Texas Raiders, etc.

Sorry, I died for a little while! Worked way late, lack of sleep caught up to me, woke up late, a bunch of other crap to do, I’ll have it going this evening!
