Does anyone have the Tuskegee Working Range Mustang?

[ZS-VAN]

I've come across the Tuskegee working range Mustang and wondered whether anyone had one of these? :unsure: I'm aware that the working range wasn't the most popular but some did like the Tuck Spit. Even Tri doesn't have one of these. :eek: Does that not bode well for the model? :unsure: I really like the Tuskegee models and have 4 but am missing this one and the Eagles International in 1/48. our views would be appreciated.

I didn't know one had been released. Apart from the stand the silver ones seem to show the large amount of plastic in the model which is a shame. I have the Matchbox P51 and Corgi P47 both of which I like. A 1/32 version would be nice but all that plastic.....:wacko:

Mule has em..

Had a play with a Jersey Jerk in MZ.. IMHO really quite crappy... the u/c retraction sequence is not all there for a P51.. but one expected that from the off...

Basic shape though on the pooch 1/32 aint too bad... better than that 1/35th lot...

Have'nt got one, shame they did'nt release a Tuskegee in standard trim :o

If its anything like the other working ranger's it won't like sitting on its U/C, having a spare 'normal' stand would be handy. It looked ok to me in the Mule's photos ;)

Best price I found was at onmarkint

This talk of 1/32 P51's has got me thinking of picking up another one, probably in green :)

I've never seen this one either. A US special? AS for the working range, yet to see one I like particularly, especially with that naff stand.

PARDON...? :eek: :mad: :p :D :LOL:

Have to adnit this one has escaped myself too.. Wanted and looked hard for one at the right price, but not happened.... :(

How many were produced? Anyone know??

Would sit lovely with my Tuskegee 1/6th GI Joe figure (or dolly as Agent calls them - :D )

[Agent X20]

PARDON...? :eek: :mad: :p :D :LOL: It is.... the reason why it is not favoured is something to do with the lack of metal...:)

GMP? Only have 1 GMP and 2 Corgi (1:32) stangs and must admit I have never had them on display long enough to compare them. In what way is the Corgi better?....(hinges?)

[Agent X20]

I just think the Corgi looks more Mustanglike... little in it...

Picked one of these up for $ 59 plus $ 25 delivery from a company in the USA who were good enough to e-mail me this special offer . -cool-

[CFBC]

Likewise, a US member tipped me off on this offer and had to acquire! -biggrin-

Very cheap postage, so I guess a slow boat, butI am in no rush. Just hope it turns-up ok.

[dilligafocau]

Just checked, looks like the $59 jobs are sold out -unsure-

I think Peter, Paul & Mary used to own one.......-smile

"When I was just a wee little lad,
Full of health and joy,
My father homeward came one night
And gave to me a toy.
A wonder to behold it was
With many colors bright
And the moment I laid eyes on it,
It became my hearts delight.

Refrain:
It went zip when it moved and pop when it stopped,
Whirrr when it stood still
I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will."

Saw one in shop, few month ago. Had a look inside the box and I liked the model-smile Jersey Jerk is still available in many shops-smile

I had a deprived childhood - I had to listen to the Val Doonican version.

Got my Mustang out the box today.. Sure does look nice indeed and hope to get a few Photo's tomorrow if the weather plays ball.

I can see why this one sold well on the US! ;) :)

No pics I am afraid... :rolleyes: :(

There was a 'J/J' at ModelZone Holborn last weekend for £29.99 with u/s electrics. I opened the box, but it really looked rather toy-like and plasticky to me.

I left it and got the Spitfire instead....:)
