Very pretty.

That's not on a HeroClix base, is it?

Found my WM stocked with S2 Hetzers today and grabbed one.

Also went to another WM and saw it stocked to the gills with planes! Mustangs, Fw-190s, Macchis, Zeros...

what Macchis and FWs Alloy??

Cabe what green did you use for the base of your hetzer?

They had one scheme of Folgore, and one scheme of Veltro. The Veltro was the grey Italian one. But there was only one of those and I must have that. =P The Folgore was either Tarantola or Solari. They had 3 of those in stock. The Fw-190s were all Fw-190F-8s, the grey one that was supposed to be a Target exclusive.

The Hetzer looks pretty nice , I'll probably buy it along with the Marder and the Panzer 38(t) some day

But the lack of a machine gun is disappointing , even Dragon's 1:144 Hetzers came with that

Too true. I can hardly believe the oversight.

AlloySkull · Post by **AlloySkull** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 3:00 pm

Agreed, but it's still cool. The Marders though, are amazing. How can you notget those? =P

I've got some old MARX figures. Seated heavy equipment operators that I bet could be turned into Marder crewmen.

I'll trade you something for the Folgore....I need to look up what those two look like.

Okay, sounds good to me. You can find both of them at www.wartoyz.com. I can't remember exactly which one it was, but it was one of the two. If you're looking for one of the two then when I go back, and it's not the one, I'll let you know. But if it is, I'll pick it up.

If it's this one, def I'll take it...also if you by rare chance see the Luftwaffe JG77 pop up I'm looking for one of those at the "Wal-Mart" price...same goes for a White 7 Fw 190F

On second thought I'll take any scheme on the 202 they have in stock.

If the FWs are the black 2s, I got 2 of them so far, one for a repaint when I find the right scheme for a West Front Schlachtgruppen plane.

Okay, I'm going to have my dad drop by today. I'll have the pilot info and all so he can't mistake it.

But yeah, On the Fw-190Fs, all I've seen are the Black 2s around here, I never saw the other two.

I'm pretty sure at that WM there was only one scheme of 202, unless I wasn't paying attention. In-fact, I'll go with him just to make sure. But I'm 90% sure there was only one type of 202. They only had one 205, and I've been wanting that one for a long time. The only other planes I've seen that are old stock were at TRU about a week or two ago, and they only had one Bf-109F and a Zero. That's when I first started wondering about old stock planes showing up. I already had both of those though.

I'm hoping I'll happen upon something really cool like the older Fw-190D-9s, but I doubt it. I'm just glad I'm getting to fill in some of my collection without paying shipping. =P

Edit:

I'm also really looking forward to finding that Luftwaffe one, that'd be a real gem to find.

The Macchi looks real fine in Luftwaffe markings. I'm just trying to think of where I'm going to put all of these new planes, I'm already low on room...

I recall seeing two different Macchi-202s at a local WM but that was almost a year ago. I almost got them but I don't collect a/c.

AlloySkull · Post by **AlloySkull** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 11:18 am

What if they came out with a 1/32 B-29 pre-built, and pre-painted? Would you collect them then? =P

ltcbj · Post by **ltcbj** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 11:35 am

So that would be about a 4.5 foot wingspan. If it could fly and drop 1/32 explosive bombs I would strongly consider it if the price were right.

I prefer tanks though.

AlloySkull · Post by **AlloySkull** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 12:05 pm

I like both.

ltcbj · Post by **ltcbj** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 12:09 pm

So I gather.

I like airplanes too but I can't handle more than two at a time while I can lay out a dozen tanks.
