My apologies for quoting myself, but ostketten's pictures just proved what I said earlier on page 37 of this thread

I know all too well that some items take far too long to make it to Wal Marts in certain areas. However, if the plane is discussed above is in fact the one shown in Hworth18's picture, please speak up

The Berlin Express I picked up looks like the one in Hworth18's photo. Sorry my digital camera is kaput so I'm unable to post pics. The Berlin Express has a dragon riding on a P-51 on the other side of the nose. I checked my Bald Eagle box and it was labeled Bald Eagle so I'd say there was some label confusion at the factory.

Yes, please....

I um, well um, kinda don't own a digital camera.....

There were almost 18-20 sets on the shelf- if this is TRUs entire allotment, I will sell them for 20.00 a box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 6:34 pm

I found these planes today as well

Both look good and the Spitfire's paintscheme is accurate, however, as the plane replicates a photo reconnisance aircraft. 21c even included a black "dot" to represent the camera window behind the cockpit. Still, in my opinion, the Spitfire's paintscheme sort of stinks for a first-release... However, I'll let you all be the judges:

Sorry, But EEwwwwwwww.. I think I'll wait for the next releases..

Heh, another pink Spitty. I have the Easy Model pink Spitty (an earlier model than the IX) and it's weird but in a cool sorta way.

Jagdpanther · Post by **Jagdpanther** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 3:49 am

THanks for the pics T Man ! I think I might pass as well on that one.

mikeg · Post by **mikeg** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 7:02 am

Hey, I'm happily married, but if the pink spit makes me break out in a cold sweat and discuss transgender bathrooms and call our soldiers terrorists, I'll just give it to my 5 year old daughter-

I don't know about sky colors over Western Europe an England in WWII, but now there are many days in NJ and NYC that that Spit would be invisible against the sky.
