Small Scale Military Headquarters

I'll be going through my inventory of aircraft and armor.
What's the hardest to find and rarest pieces?

I know in the armor the tan Panzer III long barrel is fairly pricey. Any others that are rare and hard to find?
Or got cut short in the last days of production of 21st Century Toys?

I seem to remember a 1:32 Flying Undertaker P-51D, but I need to check if I have one. I don't even know if it exists as I have not seen one on ebay. I may have got it confused with my 1:18 one.
I don't see it in the database, so it probably doesn't exist.

The 1/32 Adolf Galland Bf-109E isn't in the database, but it existed.
I saw one on eBay a few months ago.

The 1/32 F4U Corsair "Big Hog" is pretty rare---I haven't found one yet.

With 32x armor, the M-41 Walker-Bulldogs are hard to find and usually command high prices. The Panzer IIIs are getting rare as well. The M-113 (one of the best 32x armor pieces, period) and the Jagdpanther are also hard to find, especially as both those vehicles only saw one version released. Then there are some more common vehicles that have harder to find paintschemes.

Aircraft would certainly be the Galland Bf-109, the Flying Undertaker P-51 and increasingly Corsairs and Stukas. I would imagine the 32x Sky Captain P-40 is also hard to find. There was one! Some of the P-47 schemes are also increasingly difficult to find, such as the Eileen and Angie planes. The "Black 2" FW-190 and Double Nuthin retooled P-51 also seem to be hard to find as well. A lot of the P-51Bs seem increasingly hard to find as well. The currently most common aircraft seem to be Zeros, Macchis, most Bf-109Gs and some of the FW-190Ds.

Going through some of my stuff I found a Galland 109E and Sky Captain P-40B.

So there was a Flying Undertaker. Need to find that, if I indeed have it. Hope so.

Not sure about that Big Hog Corsair. Is that the Devil Dogs one?

I have the 190 Black 2 and Double Nuthin' in the Target box, but never saw it in the green box. I imagine both are rare, but it would seem the green boxed one is rarer.

I haven't even started on the armor yet.

DAUNTLESS:

This is the F4U Corsair "Big Hog"...

Got it. Forgot it had "Big Hog" on it, but it's the Jolly Roger Corsair.

I don't see the British Corsair in the Database either. Is it the same as the 1:18 one?

DAUNTLESS:

Do you want to sell the Big Hog?
If so, how much?

Sorry guy, I only got one or I would.

I should have bought every one I saw at the island in Walmart, but I was too busy trying to get one of each different plane I saw.
I must have picked up six different planes that day.

DAUNTLESS:

Thanks anyway.
VF-17 and Big Hog were based in Manteo, North Carolina---so I need one for my NC collection. Unfortunately, I just found out that VF-17 was in NC only 2-3 days ago---long after Big Hog disappeared off the market.

The Corsairs (Devildogs and Big Hog) seem to be the hardest planes to find (I sold my used Big Hog for $60). The Flying Undertaker may be fairly rare, but it is the old tooling Mustang, so it doesn't bother me to not have it. The "Eileen" P-47 is the hardest one of the Tbolts to find. The Doras are still pretty common, with Michalski's probably the harder one to find, and the Red 19 A8's and the "Red 9" F8's are getting up there in the "rare" category.
The Galland 109 is the hardest of the Emils with all the F and G's still readily available in most schemes. I only ever saw one Galland Emil, but passed it up because the prop was broke, now I wished I had picked it up.

HWORTH18:

Someone sold a new, in-box Big Hog on SSHQ for $14 plus $8 shipping earlier this year.
Unfortunately, I wasn't looking for one back then.

BTW,

I have been keeping a complete 32x list on the MHII forum if anyone is interested..

That was then, this is now..
If you find one again for that price, you better buy a lottery ticket the same day..

Last Christmas, an ebay seller had three, in-box 1/32 P-47 Eileens for sale at around $12 each. I bought one.

Smalljoes has some red 13 262/Detroit Miss dogfight sets for 34.00+frt- I'm getting one since they never appeared around the metro area. Aikens will sell you one for 69-79.00+, too.

agree with many of the above!

The list is not being displayed. Do you have to join?
Sure would be nice to get a definitive printable list for inventory. Then I could check them off. Especially the armor since I have trouble remembering the variations (not being an armor expert )

I did find my "Flying Undertaker" P-51D last night, yup it's the old tooling, but I'm glad I have it as I always liked the scheme.

I havent found my box of Zeroes yet. I know I made it a point to get every one.
Nor have I found the British Corsair yet.
I haven't found but one Macchi 202 Folgore or 205 Veltro yet except for the Dogfight pack.
I know I bought a couple, but I might be buying some more just to complete the set. Luckily they're normal prices.

Don't know if you guys have tried storing these, but 14 of the 32X planes will fit into one of those 45 gallon storage bins nicely without being squeezed. 3 layers of 4 laying flat and 2 on the side sideways.
I don't have room in my house right now.

Thanks hworth18!

Copied it printed it.
I think you are missing a few FW-190A's on there, but an easy fix. (I forgot what they were)

Got a list for the armor anywhere?

I found all my Zeroes, and curiously my RAF P-51 was in there with them.
I still can't find my RAF Corsair, or any 202-205's.
I hope I can find it, they are pricey, but at least not as expensive as the other Corsairs.

For my collection I need M18 Hellcat and Tiger, not sure how rare they are, but they always seem to go for high prices on eBay
