Small Scale Military Headquarters

Anyone seen these? They look just like 21st's 1:48 designs. There was a BF-109, not too bad looking. Box said they were made by BH Toys LLC of San Clemente CA.

Back of the box showed a P-47D, P-51D, FW190D, and a F-104. $9.99. I never saw these before??

There have been a couple threads on these. The Red Tail Mustang came out about a year ago. Over the summer there was an Me109 and this past fall a P-40. Distribution seemed to be very spotty

Ah, I must have missed the topics somehow. Distribution must indeed be spotty if I am first seeing one now. Still, it was interesting to see a realistic military item at WM again. I miss the old days.

i havent seen any sense, but i got my 109 at walmart in OKC almost a year ago, ive never seen the red tails or the P-40 before, does walmart even sell these anymore???

The 3 WM I drive by everyday still have various combinatons and numbers of all 3 planes. In fact the WM closest to me just restocked the mustang after not having any since last summer

Interesting recon reports, I gotta do a cruise thru my local WMs, but all the times I went looking for these I came up empty-handed. And falling into the category of Why Did They Bother, here's their website http://www.bhtoys.com/ Oh well, maybe better things are yet to come, like maybe even ordering direct.

Every one I have seen has had serious paint quality issues.

Even though they come from a company aparently based in my home state, I've never seen these at a variety of Wal Marts from northern to southern california. Very spotty distribution, really worse than the old 21c days. Can't believe I actually said that

I'm at Neosho, MO Walmart now, these are avalible here.

Does anyone know if there are any plans for Wings of Glory to delve into 1/32? I thought there had been some discussion about if the 1/48 were successful they might go into other scales.

A brand new Wal Mart just opened in my community this week. Not wanting to wait in the long line to buy ammo, I went into the toy aisle instead, thinking a newly-stocked store would have a good chance of having these "Wings of Glory aircraft...

None to be had.

Same thing in Joplin, the tornado took out the old Walmart, this one hasn't been there long and they have none.

I found a group of 6 of the tuskeegee p-51s- #66 "by request" today; they've probably been there since the 109 tulip nose ones, but have only recently been put out on the shelf

On a road trip today into the northern part of my state, I stopped at a Wal Mart in Gilroy California. Lo and behold, they had about 18 of the "Wings of Glory" Hartmann Bf-109s.

The is the first and only time I've ever seen these in California. They are absent in the central and southern areas of California. Actually, I followed up on a tip from P-51, who had spotted them at this same Wal Mart several months ago.

I picked up a couple and while I am glad to have finally found them, I'm not missing much. My 21c 1:48 Bf-109K is actually superior - that has all the antennas, pitot tubes, landing gear pieces, and simply better workmanship that the "Wings of Glory" model doesn't have. I assumed these were nothing much in terms of true quality from the get-go, but wanted to see if Wal Mart's distribution system worked. In California, I would say it failed, but at least I lucked out a little

Our local store got resupplied last week. P-51s, Me-109s and P40s. Had them in the die cast and the model area.

Are these still around in some dusty corners of the Wal Marts that I try to avoid as best that I can?

I believe these are now gone, clearanced out months ago.
I have a new P-51B and Bf-109K if you are looking for some?

I bought the BF-109 a while ago and, even though it didn't have major QC issues, I was not too impressed------except for the low price. I made a few small mods, mostly with the light blue/gray color. Here's a topside picture:

Here's the underside:

I like what you did with that, Epap. May have to give it a try with mine
