I bought two of the new 1/144th zeros at walmart today- the bright green one and the one with the double white bands

I found a new repaint for the 1:48 Panzer IV D at one of my local TRUs today

This is probably my favorte of the three that have come out thus far and consists of a darker shade of the panzer gray color with dark green bands. I'll post a picture here eventually...

I found a 21st Century Toys 1/32 German Infantry series VI today at the Toys R Us in Paducha KY today. ITs a 3 pack the same as the Afrika Korp and Italians. What a suprise and great looking figures. Is it me or has 21st C figures come a long way since series I.

I found at least part of the new German set at the Visalia CA TRU, while on a short road trip. They only had Set A out and I did not get any. They are exactly the same as the German figures that came with the "Operation Cobra: Breakout" playset along with the Sherman Firefly tank) over the summer. Set A has the running officer, machine gunner, and soldier throwing the stick grenade. I assume Set B will have the other figures.

On another note, I found the "Berlin Express" P-51 at the same TRU, as well as a new P-47 repaint, "Evie" in the same assortment:

My apologies for the double post, but I also wanted to post pictures of the new 1:48 Panzer IV D repaint I mentioned earlier. It is personally my favorite scheme with the 1:48 armor

The figure and crate accessory on the tank are my own and did not come with the vehicle.

Great looking P-47!

Thanks for posting the pics Tman.

One of our local members called me to say he saw a "jagdpanther" at a local TRU along with hellcats and the quad 50- He said it was 1/32nd and 21st, anyone aware of a new paint scheme for this? This particular TRU is a nice long drive away.

hmmmm...interesting. Will check my TRU this weekend.

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 11:57 am

Its not a jagdpanther, but a jadgtiger- it is a tan/green camo pattern

Found two new 1/144 Zero today at WM.

Looks like the one on left is a PH paint schema. Now if there was only a 1/144 aircraft carrier in isle 9....

Picked up a camo M115 Howitzer at TRU lastnite, pretty cool. Wasn't aware the S2 was out already.

Found four or so jagdtigers at the Silverdale WA TRU store. I did not like them no weathering at all to"factory fresh" for me. Plus all had scratchs in the paint job by the gun mantle and of course no figure and looks to be all plastic. Price was $17.99

Cool schemes on the Zeros!!! I have been waiting for the PH versions to come out..
