New 1/48 Erich Hartmann Black Tulip Bf-109G

[JollyRoger]

I don't know if this has already been posted but the Wings Of Glory series released a 1/48 scale Bf-109G painted in the markings of Erich Hartmann's "Black Tulip". It seems the the 21st Century molds will not go to waste.

[jlspec]

Do you if it has been released or just proposed on the back of the Redtail P-51 package?

[JollyRoger]

They are out and a few are on Ebay.

[jlspec]

Thanks, time to start looking again

Here's a pic

AllGo can go to hell as far as I'm concerned.

I NEVER saw the previous P-51 and don't expect to find this either. I would rather such new items go to the small retailers as well (so we all get a chance) but it looks like they are back to their old WM distribution games.

But, with superior 1:48 products being offered by Hobbymaster, etc, I won't waste any more time complaining

[JollyRoger]

I picked one up at Walmart and looking at the reciept I noticed it said " FOCKE WULF ".

[cjg476]

I checked my walmart, only 4 p-51's. I hope I find one soon I think they are cool.

[JollyRoger]

Stay with it. If they had the Mustangs, they most likely will get the rest of whatever they produce.

Jolly Roger, Where are you located?

[jlspec]

The 3 WM near me that had the P-51s still have about 6-10 in each store, so it may be awhile before I see the 109's. If anyone needs any of the Redtail P-51s for actual cost and shipping let me know (maybe I can move some their inventory that way)

[JollyRoger]

I can get to the walmarts in the Fairfield-Hew Haven areas of Connecticut.

[Dauntless]

It looks pretty cool. Walmart has the same distribution problems like the old 21stC days it seems.
I've been to a number of Walmarts, never saw any planes, no Mustangs no nothing. I have a couple of the old 1:48's and would buy this if I saw it.

I hope Allgo can make some money here, then on to other things.

[jlspec]

I don't think Algo is associated with this Hartmann 109 or the Redtail Mustang. The company is BH Toys but it sure looks like the old 21st century molds

[vmf214]

Nah I'm pretty sure the red tail P-51 and this 109 are Algo stuff. Didn't Zach have a post just prior to the red tail release? Pretty sure he did.

I'm a few miles from the WM HQ, have access to over 20 stores no scheisse and the red tail Mustang NEVER showed at any of them! SOS man, SOS.

[hworth18]

Looked around here but couldn't find any..

[rmoore456]

The 109 has landed at the Normal, Illinois Walmart.

I found one walmart out of 10 that had a place and a sticker on the shelf, but the shelf was empty.

[hworth18]

Anyone else find these yet?

[cjg476]

Not yet but I keep checking...my walmart only has 4 redtails left.

[robzilla503]

When will they ever learn? I went to a large local Portland (Oregon) Walmart and not only were there no Hartmann bf-109s A clerk informed me they were reducing shelf space in the toy section. He did not expect the smaller space to include Wings of Glory products. They had carried the P-51 redtails earlier this year. Sadly, the distribution issues at these big box stores will continue to depress the hobby (and hobbyists). You would think that 21C would provide a cautionary tale.

First time reply, but long time visitor. I have really enjoyed reading your posits.

Best regards to all,
Robert

[hworth18]

These finally showed up in my area and I picked up a couple.. I hope that this Wings of Glory line continues and gets better.

[dragon53]

What's the price on the ME-109?

[Light.Inf.Scout]

I believe they are 9.99 by me

[dragon53]

LIGHT.INF.SCOUT:

Thanks. I haven't been to Walmart in about a year or two....at $9.99, .maybe I check for these.
