Found two new sets of 1/144 planes at the Allen Road Peoria, Illinois Walmart today. A Canadian Spitfire with the yellow 11 FW 190 and a Austrailian Spitfire with a KI 84.

That Spitfire with the FW-190 has to be the best of the bunch thus far

I agree! I like the fact that the Spitfire is Johnny Johnson's.

Very nice. I hope they get here but I have feeling there are too many of the earlier releases still hanging

So, now if we see a 1/144th scheme we need, odds are it will be paired with one we already have?? (in the dual dogfight pack). The new dark blue hellcat with kill flags on both sides of the fusilage has the same ki-84 as in other packs, the spits have the same red B 262-

We can always repaint ourselves.

I've avoided these things like the plague but the US Spitfire and the Dauntless always wind up catching my interest.

I have always found these smaller scales quite appealing.

You would actually be amazed at how they look in 1/285.

Jackpot!!! Found the new 1:144 P-47s at a remote WM way up north of Dallas yesterday. I dont know if these have been spotted yet other than at the NYC toy fair but here they are:
Sorry for the fuzz close up. Took the photos on the dash of my truck. I especially like the silver "Snorting Bull" version, very detailed.
