Warbird Hunt (1 Viewer)

[Capitolron]

I wanted to start this thread forthings I am looking for - but, also for other who are searching as well.

My hope is we can also discuss the fun of the hunt for WARBIRDS and what people know on whats coming up in the new K&C warbirds - since the info is hard to get. So after you have ordered yours - then tell everyone whats coming in- OK ?

 

[Capitolron]

Dose anyone know where I could find these Corgi Warbirds in the USA ??

 

[Capitolron]

Or how about these ?? Anyone looking to sell to trade up ??

Ron,

Can't speak to the Corgis but the poly Warbirds do appear on ebay from time to time, the 109 less so.

 

[Louis Badolato]

There's a place in Mineola, New York called Willis Hobbies that sells the Corgi Warbirds.

Louis,

Is that the place we went with Andy and Gordon in 2007? If so, they do have quite an inventory. They had this great Mosquito that I remember Harvey was seriously thinking about.

Brad,

Yes, that's the place. They have a lot of really reat stuff, but the Corgi aircraft are my favorite things they carry.

I have not seen those lately but will keep my eye out. Since you mentioned Corgi warbirds, I am looking for this one, as per my post in the classifieds:

The top photo you have of Parks malta Hurricane is on ebay at present for
about $89 [I did a world wide search for 1/32 corgi and saw it listed in the
US] or sierra toy soldiers has it listed . I havent seen the other though.

I,m looking for that one also .It sold on ebay the other day for about the $150 mark in the States[managed to miss the close] . A store ebay UK has it listed but it was about the $240 mark plus postage.

Ah, thanks I missed that one entirely. Does this mean we will have to bid against each other though?

I see you specified US but both of these do seem to show up in England. Night Reaper appears to still be available from Corgi UK

[Capitolron]

Yes - the United States is a must for a dealer on these aircraft - can't afford the British Pound Rate

 

[Spitfrnd]

Ah didn't realize your purpose.

I don't suppose anyone would trade me the Kiwi Spitfire for a NIB AA33903 Spitfire MkIIA P7966 D-B, Douglas Bader?

Lancasters

Does anyone know when these are coming out, and in what color schemes

 

[Louis Badolato]

There will be two color schemes Oz, a Dambuster and another squadron. They are supposed to come out this year. I pre-ordered a Dambuster.

 

[jazzeum]

As soon as we get pictures, and I get authorization, I will post them. I'm thinking sometime this summer it will come out. Although one of the Lancasters may be a dambuster, it may be a budget buster

I hope the other will be an Aussie aircraft such as S-Sugar or G-George. If not, I guess I'll save some money

Another site to check out for corgi,s warbirds is Aikens Aeroplanes
in the states [their site was down so I couldnt check availability of
any of their planes but my mustang arrived from them today.]
And they had quite a good selection.

Yes they do, I have gotten many of my diecast fighters from Dave. He is a great guy, was an airline pilot when last we talked. Very enthusiastic collector as well. I did not see any of those 1/32 Corgis sought in this thread there though. How about some British shops, they seem to get more Spitfires then the US? No online ones that I have found though.
