Looks like I got the last one. Kind of a no-brainer. Thanks for the tip, Aferguson!

lol......those had been sitting around for quite a while with no sales. The seller's going to be wondering wtf just happened...

There is also a good price on the Hartmann f-86 for anyone interested in it or customizing it.

Thanks aferg for the great tip. I've got the F86 on that promo Admiral supported to sign up on their website. Remember, for signing up you got the F86 for a very low price and I also ended up with 3 1/72 German tanks all for around $15 shipped.

Happy days

i have not had any communication at all from this seller. Nothing. Just an invoice, so at least i know there is somebody with a pulse at the other end of this.

I hope this guy doesnt turn out to be a flake. His name is Ralph Jones, i think. I figured he was related to Admiral Toys somehow, perhaps one of the partners?

No relation. I have no idea who Ralph Jones is; however, it is a good price. I hope you enjoy it.

Is that a German Hartmann or simply a CL-13 / German F-86? I'm still holding out hope that the silver Hartmann is produced.

My wife called and said I got a package today. Can't wait to get home and open my Admiral
ME-262. Fast delivery considering I ordered on the evening of 5-2.

After supper I openned my ME262 and it was in excellent condition, no quality issues on paint or assembly. It looks great setting next to F86. Happy to have added this to my collection. Thanks again Aferg for the tip, hope the rest of you guys get the same satisfaction as I did.

Do these come with swastika decals for the tail, or do I need to buy some?

i think they come with but if you have purchased a 21c 262 the white swastika on that sheet is ideal for white 7
