Oooo, I'd love to drop some f-bombs right now.
5 am, yes, 5 <censored> am this morning, I'm at the Walmart that was supposed to have gotten a case in. What was there? 2 more <censored> Stukas and 2 <censored> new Corsairs. So, that means the distribution center for this area is still stocked with <censored>Stukas and Corsairs, meaning ain't no MiGs going to be showing up any time soon. <censored><censored> piece of <censored>. But, they had a shelf full, and a bunch on the floor, and a case on the pallet, or 1:32 dogfight sets

That's pretty much the way I felt when all of you were finding loads of Avengers and all I got were the Stukas and Corsairs... PM a trusted boardmember who has found the Migs and ask if they'll send one to you. Thats what I did this time around and now no worries - especially since the stores in my area probably won't see the Migs for months, if ever. Yeah you pay a little more with the shipping, but just think of that as gas money you won't have to spend searching!

It's quite obvious that Walmart's <censored> distribution is all <censored> up, still!! Amazing. We didn't get one stuka or Corsair anywhere near here and now you are stuck with 'em. Now that is royally <censored> up!!! Absolutely <censored> retarded.....

Is that because of the people at walmart or the computer system?
I'm just going to wait for the Mig's, before rushing out to a e tailer. I rushed out last year and was paying a lot more for stuff, then 3-4months later all the stuff I bought online is sitting on the shelves at WM collecting dust.

For those of you that have found one, what is the sku # on the bar code of the box? I thought someone had posted one, but searched and didn't find anything.

Nice display! I found it really neat (and indeed relieving) that the AT F-86 displayed so well with the 21c Mig-15. By that I mean that the AT F-86 has a very comparable level of detail to the 21c Mig and vice versa. One isn't insanely more detailed than the other, like say the BBI Corsair is to the 21c Corsair.

The current display works but once I add t more 21ist F-86’s another AT f-86 repaint, and one s3 mig-15 I will need room. I heard a rumor that 21st will be making ground crews, I don’t know if they will be part of the aircraft or sold separately or both.
I think both AT and the 21st sabers will work very nicely when displayed with each other.

Thanks! Knowing that information tidbit makes the 21c Mig pilot accurate. He looked far more like a Russian than a Korean

Peoelyaev was the top scoring Soviet ace of the Korean war with 23 victories.

No problem! I got them off the site
http://wp.scn.ru (which was posted in the reference forum a while back). The site has all sorts of profiles for aircraft from WWI to the Modern era, along with their identification info, if known. Its a great place for reference
