[1948]

was in the local Target (Serramonte,Ca.) and decided to check if they had the white Zero. they didn't but they did have 2 white hurricanes. I bought one, my 4th hurricane, and i must say it looks very detailed and cool on display.

I had seen those at Target off and on for the past year but decided against buying one. Then after reading how scarce they are from other members on this forum, I saw one this past week and decided to just go for it. Glad to hear you like yours.

1948,
Hey there. The white Hurricane is a nice bird. Congrats on the pick up.

Always check my local Target about twice a week. Today they had 2 White Hurricanes and picked up the nicest of the pair. The one I left had the outter left cannon barrel cockeyed to the left, but had a slightly better paint job on the inside tail fin. Should of bought that one too and traded or sold it. In the past 2 + years looking at Target, this was the only time I have seen the White Hurricane. Looks very nice and Corgi doesn't make a all-white one as of yet either. Can't beat the price of $12.99 + tax either.
Also in Target, there was a Dragon Wagon (I have 2 already) in 1/72 as well as some of the WWII soldier sets for $5.95. I have about 8 of these sets with German, American and British forces. These are actually pretty nice and they all come with extra items like, push carts, lamp posts, telephone poles, gas cans, anti-tank pieces, etc.

I like it and I bought it

I saw a single white hurricane and two each of the Zero,P-40 B/C and Me262 at a newly opened TARGET store in my area. I was hoping that store would have the 1/72nd scale bombers (B-25 and B-26) but I haven't heard nor read any reports elsewhere if they'll ever stock those diecasts, though.

Found mine at the museum of flight in Scotland.

Have the black one too.

Tried to get the other sea hurricane the did but when i purchased it on ebay I found out that FOV had duplicated the part number with that of the SE Asia version (which is awful) so that's what turned up!

Not worried now because i will buy the corgi 1/72 Sea Hurricane next year.

Excuse my ignorance, but where did a white Hurricane in RAF colors serve?

North Atlantic! - It's a Royal Navy bird and would have served on escort carriers doring convoy escort.

Really!? I had no idea. Was white a color scheme they used very long? I am asking this while thinking of the gray schemes you normally associate with Atlantic service.

Thanks Timbo.
