RAF Mustangs have shown up here and that is all the new stuff

Found the S2 Tony at the Hawk's Prarie WM in Lacey. Nice bird!

Found the "Red 19" Fw-190A today at TRU. They only had one and I snagged it. Also some new 1/18 DAK figures but the rest is old stuff.

I was in the Buffalo NY area and the TRU had several of the RAF Sharkmouth P-51s

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Fri May 09, 2008 12:03 pm

are there SKUs for the fw yellow 11s and red 19s that are different from the white 7s?, and if they are, can TRU or walmart tell ya if there are any in the area? like I said previously, hobbytown just got em at 29.99- I'm not that desperate, yet

jlspec · Post by **jlspec** » Fri May 09, 2008 1:11 pm

I believe the red 19, yellow 11 FW 190 and the Mrs Bonnie and RAF P-51 all have the same UPC

Found the green 21c 1:48 scale KI-61 Tony at a Fresno area Wal Mart today. This is the first I've seen of that plane, and its a good one

Agreed. I bought 2...

Today, I saw the RAF Mustang and "Red 19" Fw-190A8s making appearances at Walmarts in the area along with the 1/144 Tbolts and 1/144 JEJ Spit/Fw-190 dogfight sets.

The 1/48 Marders have shown up here, but not much more. I am waiting for more Tonys to hit so I can have some more repaint subjects.

hworth18 · Post by **hworth18** » Fri May 23, 2008 8:53 pm

The Green Tonys have also shown up at one Walmart. I went ahead and picked another one up for a repaint, but really wanted another silver/camo jobbie.

olifant · Post by **olifant** » Sun May 25, 2008 1:43 am

All the WMs in my AO have now restocked the ME-109Gs for the third straight time. I am still waiting on the FW-190 white seven...

I love those new Messerschmidts but after buying them all I am ready to move on!

Just found the Fw-190A-8 Red 19 today, it sure is a beauty.

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Mon May 26, 2008 6:28 pm

I found a single fwA red 19 at TRU today and not being able to wait to find it at walmart for 5.00 less, I bought it.

Jagdpanther · Post by **Jagdpanther** » Tue May 27, 2008 9:05 am

Fond the fw190 A-8 11 today at the East Stroudsburg Wal Mart today. Now I got both.

Picked up the S1 32x Spitfire today, it's William Dunn's gray/grn scheme of 71 Eagle sqn. Box art shows the NKK scheme. Nice looking plane and the paint is pretty good for the most part, few paint flaws but nothing serious.

jlspec · Post by **jlspec** » Tue May 27, 2008 12:42 pm

Good news!! Did you find it at retail? Which store?

Old news for most other parts of the country, but I found a lone 32x RAF "Shark mouth" P-51D at the Clovis, CA TRU. I didn't pick it up as I already got one (with a better paint scheme) from a fellow board member. Still, it looks like the new planes are slowly making their way west...

The four Wal Marts in my town still have the 32x Bf-109Fs they've had for weeks now.

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Fri May 30, 2008 11:11 am

Latest 1/32nd AC around here are RAF P-51ds and FW190A red 19- still waiting on yellow 11 190, hungarian one, spits, and some of the later dogfight kits

RAD 2112 · Post by **RAD 2112** » Sun Jun 01, 2008 6:34 pm

Found a FW-190A-8 "Yellow 11" tucked back on a shelf at the local Wal-Mart.

Now I just need to find Red 19 and a P-51 Sharkmouth...

B-24Sharky · Post by **B-24Sharky** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 4:26 pm

I had to pass on several Spitfires today, some of the worst paint apps I've seen yet on a 21st product.

Please send them to the GNW. In the words of another member, "I'll buy one and duct tape the friggin' wings together and be happy."

How are the current 1/32nd p-51d's, 190a-f's, etc. packaged? I found a red 19 a several days ago at TRU (I believe the first at this one) I bought it and now found 1 more at same location. I counted 5 planes total- 3 RAF p-51ds, 1 yellow 15 d9, and the 2nd red 19190a. The TRU employee showed 5 planes in stock- was there never a box of 6 red19s, an assortment? or what?

I think the "Red 19" Fw-190s are coming as an assortment with the RAF Mustangs. Everywhere I have found one, the other is also there.

hworth18 · Post by **hworth18** » Thu Jun 05, 2008 10:56 am

My local TRU got in the 1/48 Marders and 38-Ts along with a restock of RAF Mustangs and a "Yellow 11" Fw-190A8.

B24guy · Post by **B24guy** » Thu Jun 05, 2008 11:14 am

Went by Walmart today. Only planes they had were 18 yellow 11 FW-190s.
