there used to be a bunch of them on ebay but not at the moment. Same thing happened a couple of years ago with the mattoro sturmtiger.....vanished for quite a while, then came back. Not sure what's up with that but it will re-appear. In the interim, maybe all-go will come out with theirs.

Thanks for the help Ferg, as always you rock.

They don't have an A-10. They only had a hand-built prototype model. Not even sure they have that any more, as at some point it was put up for sale.

word, I had seen the completed Prototype. I wasn't sure how far they got in the process but it still seems like a big step toward producing a mold.

I had heard that they tried to sell it.

Might have to do with fact that it is listed as shoddy paint, loose joints, decals, and the minor fact the prop is broke. :roll:
The fact it is listed as the 1st of 4 in a series is the usual garbage dumped on the market by companies lately. All-Go & Admiral are a joke anymore with JSI and BBI a close dissapointment. Customs of stored items when the market was cheaper remain my tie to 1/18, but it appears it will soon be time to move to another hobby as this one has become more frustration than enjoyment.

Maybe they should have listed it as "Battle Damaged" for added value, it works for 12" Terminators :D

I've been wallowing in despair these few months, this is supposed to be a happy hobby, second childhood joy and all that yada yada

Ebay prices, demise of 21C, BBI in coma, Spotcat, AG still born, etc the list goes on...

Giving me a hell of a rise in blood pressure, this hobby will shorten my years of life faster then my smoking will kill me :lol:

Battle damage..exactly :lol:
Gouchy, outside of custom work to fill the void, this hobby has gotten as interesting as a 2 week vacation with my mother-in-law .

I'm sorry to hear this. P-51 is a great plane, and I liked the direction 21st/All Go was going with it...nose art and all.
Sad to say, but many folks said there were to many 1:18th P-51's already out there and nobody was listening.....I know you use what you have...but listen to Your fans/collectors.

If somehow All Go comes out with the King Tiger it might, help bring in $$ to keep this 1:18th line alive or pay down debt.

I do not think that the A-10 was ever in the picture, or at least as much as the 1/18 B-25 was in the pic.

The KT was supposed to be far along in production, if you can believe what AG told us.

The idea of a boat load of KT's sitting somewhere is not beyond our imagination........

In VN, I heard about a warehouse in Saigon, that was full of WW2 Jeeps and HD WLA45's. All this stuff was in crates and had been there since just after WW2. All offered at $100 each. I even met the guy in charge of the warehouse but his story kept changing..... 1st $100 each.... 2nd You had to buy 10.... then in the same conversation, when I agreed... "OK, I have the cash for 10 HD's", he said, I'd have to buy the entire warehouse and arrange for a ship to carry all the Jeeps and motorcycles back to the U.S.

Fables have a life of their own, AG planes and tanks are out there, just like those Jeeps...... 8)

No takers at $299.

If it is what it claims to be,it would be a good addition for the 1/18 collector that has everything.

But it just shows how this plane was never going to make it in the market,when one of their prototypes doesn't even sell for $300.

Of course the broken prop,and other issues don't help.
