Nice! Now that spitfire has a great scheme! Me262 also looks good.

There is also 2nd version of the Dauntless/Zero, darker blue without red center in wing and fuselage markings and a dark green Zero with white diagonals on the wings
I will have to look for the new Spitfire / 262

The Zero and Dauntless are NOT new. They've been sitting in my area TRUs since early December

However... That new ME-262 and Spitfire look awesome!! The Spit's scheme is far better than the pink version. I'll have to keep a lookout for these, but I'm not holding my breath for an appearance anytime soon...

Spitfire scheme is neat, but I sure want a traditional RAF one..

Argh!!! I passed on the US Spitfire/262. I found 3 at my WM, but I want 6 of the Spitfires for wargaming, but I already have a load of the 262's. I'll have to keep my eyes on single repaints..... ;(

Well, I found the new Zero/blue, RAF Spitfire and the Atlantic Dauntless today. For a brief second I thought it was an Atlantic Avenger.

Hmmph, we have'nt seen any new 144th stuff since the pink spit/262 offering. No grey zeros, deserts spits, dauntlesses or nothin..

I found the new solid grey/blue dauntless with green zero today-

I chose the best set out of 14 or 15- who's in charge of this quality control debacle- several steps here- look to see how bad the tail sections are twisted, looking from the top, how far is the tail section is bent to the right, on the zero, some of the elevators are reversed- with the hard rake facing forword- some elevators look like they could be reversed with no rake at all. Take a look at your zeros and see if you see the diference.

I'm picking on the zero, the dauntless only had a miniscule fusilage bend to the right- and don't forget about the FWs, they also had the slight bend to the right at the tail section
