Very nice!

Now there's a great combination! I guess I can dream about our local WMs getting some.

I think the combo would've been better if they had done a repaint of the Bf-109G6..

Wow, that is a great looking P-51B.

that is great but I have one question...is the nose of the 262 white? Does anyone know if that was correct?

Yes it is.. Franklin Mint made one in 1/48 scale..

That ME262 looks like it had some repairs. Notice the from of one of the engines is silver. Maybe that is how the prototype was.

no the prototype/test models had a tailwheel not tricycle landing gear.

Awesome-looking Dogfight pack! The P-51 is amazing and nice to see they are both original repaints

I hope I don't have to wait too long for these to show up in my area, but then again...

Is that P-51 going to be sold on its own, are do you have to get it in with the ME262?

The Mustang is sweeeeet! The 262 is nice as well.

My Wallys are overflowing with the Italian packs so load up the freakin' Horse drawn wagon and get it to FL!!

I must be living right. I went by WM today and they had only one on the shelf. Now they have none on the shelf.

Nothing but the Italian birds here. Lots of them.

I think they are not selling the dogfight birds separate. This is what I hear when I went to buy my Detroit Miss. I must have built 10 of that livery from the 1/48 monogram kit as a kid so I had to have it. Therefore, I coughed up the dough and gave away the 262 to a teacher friend's son. It wound up being a win win situation all around.

Wow, drool...great catch!!!!

This dogfight set just arrived this week down here in Charleston,SC. I picked one up today. I really like the Cripes a Mighty stang, but I gotta say that Me262 is ugly. I know it's supposed to be realistic, etc. but seriously, they should have paired it with one that looks like it didn't undergo serious repair. just my 2 cents on this. I'm keeping the stang. Might sell the 262.

I kinda like the 262. This is not my favorite 1/32 offering but this one looks like it has seen some wear and tear. I sometimes wish we would see some weathering on the AC. I have seen lots of pictures of birds that look like they are ready for the scrap heap, especially in the Pacific theater.

I know we can always do this ourselves but I find these Chinese guys do much better than I do.
