Does anyone have some photos of H&R's 1/300 scale Betty's? If no photos, maybe a quick review on them.
Also are H&R the only company that produces Betty's in this scale?

Thanks,

Victor

Scotia does a Betty as well, just finished painting a dozen of them. Nice casting, but a little rough at the nose.

Hello Victor:

I just today got my H&R Japanese planes in stock and I have 8 in stck. They are $6 USD each and are a nice two piece casting.

I'm currently photographing these 1:300 scale aircraft. I'll make a point to photograph this one tonight and post it to the web site here:

Some painted H&R Bettys from a game in progress. They are heavily weathered.

I've got both the Scotia and H&R Betty bombers. I tend to like the Scotia a bit more, but the H&R castings are very good also.

Hey Mike:

Could I use that picture for my web site if I provide a credit and link?

Hey Mark,

If those other pics are your work – great job. It's nice to see someone else doing the Dutch in the Pacific.

Mark, go right ahead, you may also use the other H&R photo's if they fit your needs. I have P-38s, DO-17s, Hellcats and Corsairs.
