This is growing on me every time I look at it, yes I have the first version but here we have a Spit flown by a US Hero who came to this country 70yrs ago last summer and helped to win the Battle of Britain. Add this all together and the question becomes why shouldn't I buy it!???

I like that it has the roundels on the underside wings. I suppose its like can you have too many tigers... can you have too many spits???

Ah yes, the now traditional post Christmas question; 'Whats my first purchase of the new year

Really difficult this year, do I get something brand,spanking,shiny and new of which there is much to choose. Or something from the list of stuff I know is going over the coming months?. Its a happy problem!

[Mitch]

I suppose you could indulge yourself and have one from each list. Oh! and of course, something for your good lady

I don't care about Spitfires but I do like the new ES Spit for what it represents and for the outstanding detail evident in the photos. It is tempting and priced right. -- Al

Sorry guys my post here is misleading, Bill Dunn didn't actually fly during the Battle of Britain, he flew later and was an ace with five kills to his name, on the 27th August 1941 he shot down two ME109'S. He also claimed to have shot down an ME110 with a salvo of rockets.

Rob Spitfire look very nice & love the wreathing on it , Can I ask what plane Bill Dunn was flying when he shot down an ME110 with a salvo of rockets.

 

[Phantom Warrior]

Dunn was with the 406th Fighter Group, 9th Air Force and was flying P-47 Thunderbolts. The P-47s were flying cab missions (ground support) several days after D-Day and Dunn made a head on attack against an Me 110 trying to strafe an allied ship. Dunn fired all 10 of his 5 inch rockets in a salvo to drive off the Me 110 and then shot it down with his .50 cal. MGs when it swerved to avoid the rockets. None of the rockets hit the Me 110 - Dunn said he fired them just to divert the Me 110 because going head on against one was very dangerous. He claimed the Me 110 as a kill (it blew up at close range) but Dunn never claimed to have shot it down with rockets.

Will definately be adding all ww1 pieces including the kaiser staffwagon! Now if I could only find the kaiser staff car.

 

[Grognard]

Unfortunately still no Naps ...The Légionnaires look very nice though...

 

[jules118]

Some nice stuff and it proves that Andy does pay attention... I asked about the possibility of a Rolls Royce Armoured car early last year. But now the dilemma for me is whether to get one or not as back in November I had promised myself no more toy soldiers... get the remaining sets I still want and then that's it. Finito!

Now I'm not so sure anymore. That armoured car is very tempting.

 

[Mitch]

jules118...

Its simple. Buy the armoured car!!!
Mitch

 

[Guy]

I'm wondering why we have a new sculpt of Kaiser Wilhelm when the old one is still in stock (and frankly looks to be a better one; the new one looks like a bit of a chipmunk)
