Where is my Spitfire? :(

Where are the new Spitfire models? I see one forum member has found one. Where are they? I have really been looking forward to this model.

Hopefully not too far from general distribution... Though given how that has gone recently, they will probably show up in the midwest and upper south region (where the droves of Platoon figures and Dual Packs currently are, as well as the 32x FW-190As) and take several months to go anywhere else.

Found one on the Wally World shelf today in Michigan, but it killed me to have to pass on it due to lack of quality - poor paint job, nicks, and what looked like a glob of glue...

Going to check out another MW tomorrow and will hopefully have better luck.

Stay tuned!

Maybe they are hiding along with all the non-RAF P-51D's.

I finally found a decent looking one at the Wabash Indiana Walmart. Several Wallys in my AO have them, but all have extremely bad paint apps and glue spots. Overall I'm not to impressed with the Spitfire, maybe the second release will change my opinion. I dread how hard it will be to find a nice looking checkertail Mustang when they show up.

Sharky, send those crappy spits up my way. Somehow I don't think they can look any worse than my FOV spitfire...

I would love to find ANY new 21C up here. If it weren't for the IJ truck hunt I would be left twiddling my thumbs, or buying more 1/72. That is when I know things are bad.

How much do you wanna bet that some guy, somewhere is gonna take his brand new 21st Spitfire out of the box and wonder how they could forget all the rivets!
