could anyone out there in the US use a Skyraider Miniatures of England, still unopened in the package, P-51 D fighter? I had ordered a P-51 B (Razor back) to use as an A-36 Apache fighter bomber, but they sent a P-51 D bubble canopy in the package even though it states it is a P-51 B. Skyraider Miniatures did not wish to take care of their packing mishap in my order (I am done with that company now) so, I am still in need of a P-51 B and would love to trade this 1/300th scale Mustang for any British companies 1/300th scale P-51 B (Heroics & Ros/NAVWAR, Collect Air from Scotia,Skytrex) I live in the Chicago area of the US so would love to trade with anyone in the US to get the plane I need. I look forward to your replies and hope to get a trade going:?:

Skyraider Miniatures - are those Bar-stewards still going?

I'd heard they'd gone bust about 15 years ago, taking some of my cash with them and that from a lot of others as well.

Just found a very old and dodgy looking web-site of theirs.

All I can say is: Don't touch these guys with friggin' barge pole the length of the Mississippi.

They are crooks.

They take your money and then don't send you anything.

And the planes I did buy off of them (at a games show, face-to-face) were extremely poor anyway.

Rant over.

Hopefully Raiden Miniatures will be producing a P-51B model soon, and there planes are very good.

GHQ makes an abolutely magnificent model of the P51 B (I REALLY wish they made the P51 D w/the bubble canopy-maybe in the near future?)

Here are pics of my 2 P51Bs





Get GHQ's, you will not be disappointed! I cannot recommend them highly enough!
