You know that might be the best looking 32nd scale WW2 plane I have seen yet. You found this at Walmart or TRU?

Holy Butcher Bird! I am in love!

Thanks for the pictures T-man. It is great you always think of us first when you get first dibs on something. I am not sure how 21C can raise the bar on 1/32. They even managed the thin red line on the prop spinner! If you say this is better quality than the P-51B/C I take that as gospel, and those Mustangs are top quality.

I have got to get my hands on one of these.

So many cool releases all at once! I can't wait! I will probably have to wait until next month though.

gotta find the 190.

Any other paints of it in the store?

There were three out on the shelf, and all were the same. The instruction sheet shows a finished plane in a different scheme, so there's obviously more than one in the works. I'm sure repaints will be out shortly

Wow! God I hope they make the Fw-190 with the jagged black lines leading from the edged of the cowling under the cockpit! This scheme rocks! The detail is amazing. Wally World?

TMANTHEGREAT:

Great photos.
How much was your FW-190?

Panzer_M · Post by **Panzer_M** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 11:51 am

well I caved and picked up a clean example on Ebay.

More than WM's 15$...but still close to what I would have gave with a finder's fee and shipping.

Tempted to pick up the 109G yellow 1 locally(I picked up Hackl's 109 a while back, but never unboxed it), and maybe the Luftwaffe Macchi 205...I missed that one a couple times when it was here locally..now i kind of regret it.

Thanks! It was the usual Wal Mart price, $14.96, and worth every penny.

Panzer M, too bad you had to resort to ebay as the store where I found the 190s just restocked the rest of them! They've now got 4 "Red 9" FW-190s and 1 "Berlin Express" P-51B.

The 4 or 5 that I inspected the other night @ the Independence , Ky. WAL* MART , had some QC issues like , paint splatters , glue , fingerprints , etc...

* Except for the one I picked out for myself , was a good example though. *

* Edit :
------------> Even the one I ended up w/ was missing one of the "bomb racks". It comes w/ an accessory packet + a parts tree , so you need to check this out first. *

* BUYER BEWARE ! *

I received my "Red 9" Fw-190 today from Tmanthegreat (thankyou!) and I have to say that this is my new "most favorite" 32x plane.. If 21st gets these any better, I will probably stop building models altogether..

BTW, did you guys notice the posable rudder?? and the flaps also drop!!!

I"m curious, is the stepladder also a separate piece from that sprue? It would be nice if you could remove if for an in-flight display, unlike the D model.

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Wed Dec 19, 2007 12:03 pm

The flaps drop? It looked like they could on my model, but I've been afraid to try. Learn something new every day, I guess

Yep, just get a fingernail under the small tab along the edge and pull down.. They are kinda tight, but will come down..

>>> There's only one , so you'd have to "very carefully" install and remove w/o breaking it. ... It can be done , because I already have. *
