I wish I could find a place that had F-Toys on a regular basis. Its a hit and miss at the store I go to. Thanks for the post. I will have to look for them on line.

Bob,
I have to use Ebay (nearest toy store is 4 hours drive away!). And I find that often I can get whatever I am looking for as well as free postage (especially from a couple of regular sellers based in Hong Kong).

Yes, all of my 1/144 kits come from ebay too, the Hong Kong sellers can sell them at great prices with little or no postage costs. The main problem is that the kits tend to go out of production in a relatively short while, so you usually need to be decisive within a few months of release or the price starts to inflate prices for these items, especially the popular ones. if you buy several at a time from the same supplier they are usually more than willing to combine the postage costs for some quite good savings. The finish on the planes is usually awesome too!

I'm searching for the F-4U Corsair mini and I think only F-toys produces a good one. Does anybody know which is the serie?

Where do you see the F-Toys WWI planes? I did a search for F-Toys and the website only show a few WW2 planes.

Probably only available now on eBay; they were released a number of years ago, and if not on the F-Toys website, are no longer available from the manufacturer.

You can see what they looked like on this site though; http://kapon.lolipop.jp/miritary/toys/biplane1.html

Armory Hobby are still listing Guynemer's Spad.

There are also Spads & an Albatros Diii (The Blue Mouse) currently listed on ebay.

[BobP]

I did get his Spad last year from Armory Hobbies. One of the dealers I have to see at Cold Wars in March.

Bob, I don't know where in Maryland you are, but Hobbyworks in Rockville has a lot of F-toys kits. Mostly WWII so I'm not interested, but I did get a few of the biplane collection that I use for WoG. I think the other locations have some as well, but I have no knowledge of their stock levels.

[Baldrick62]

Vol.10 now available from eBay and various Japanese hobby stores like Radjapan http://radjapan.ocnk.net/. The 'specials' include a USN F4F-4 Wildcat with pre-May '42 stripes and 'meatballs' from VF-2/3/6 and a Free French Navy SBD.

[BobP]

Paul I missed your last reply for some reason. I go to the Hobby Works in Laurel and only find a few WW2 stuff. I asked about ordering but they couldn't find where they get them from. I have to check them out again as I haven't been there in a month.

Hmm, the Hellcat would fit right in with 4 Avengers I've already painted, oh no, more money out the door!

Great way to collect some Wildcats, other than building Sweet kits. I will have to check on my Hellcats i might have 3 21 Century planes.
