I know the Spits are out, but after contacting Lisa a Panache place, she indicated that retailers were now receiving the P-51s and Bf-109s???
I know TRU carried the Spits, but they have a ban on German stuff so I don't think we'll see the 109s there and Target has yet to get any 1/32 planes... Does anyone have any news???

The Messerschmitts and Spitfires are enroute to us and I guess any other hobby retailer that ordered them. The Mustangs were delayed until January cause there wasnt enough room in the October container.

Looks like the action grade packaging but I could be wrong. Typically, the enthusiast grade comes in a black-ish exterior...

I think so too.. Honestly I would rather have the cheaper "action" version for some repaints I have been wanting to do..

I just checked Michtoy's site and it says they will have them next week.. So there is hope, but like I said, I was looking for the "action" grade, but I might just have to get the "Enthusiast" also..

I saw a "bluenose" Mustang today at TRU.. The paintcheme was nice with the "Cripesamighty3rd"
NOT on the plane, but the rest of the markings were (I guess for copywrite reasons).. The paint looked nice and the plane looked well assembled, with the only two drawbacks being the "riveting" similar to the Spit and the wing rockets seemed way oversize (I didn't know Mustangs could carry rockets in WWII).. But it did come with a pilot and a ground crewman, and the option of 2 different droptanks.. I have seriously considered ordering a Bf-109G now that they are out, but I will also be considering a total repaint if the "riveting" is the same as the previous 2 releases..

TRU really has a ban on german stuff?! Is it just on the planes or everything because i bought the FOV german soldiers there but it could have been a mix up on shiping. Oh and I also haven't seen anything other the spits.

Yes, TRU has a ban on German stuff.. Sometimes they might get an "old" stock item or a return accidentally, but you won't see any new stuff which is unfortunate.. I used to shop at TRU on a weekly basis, now it is a monthly or more basis..
BTW, I won an FOV Bf-109G on ebay tonight, so I will be able to give a first hand review of it when I get it later this week..
