I would be first to light that cigar of yours Dan.

Mustang and Spitfire may have a better chance of selling in Target or Wal-Mart though.

Hey ZS. I've got the P40 and it's a nice enough model. Also have the B26 and it's crap - paint missing in places, parts missing, other parts fall off. I suspect that there is a wide variation is quality in the FOV line, but unless you want to take a chance, I'd suggest saving your money until a quality manufacturer like Hobby Master or maybe even Corgi release one ;-)

Saw both the Mustang ant he Spit in our local TrU tonight.

Both came with gear down and cowlings fitted. Both models had quality issues.

The spit had the gear down and cowling fitted? Mine certainly didn't! Sounds like someones been sneaking some out of the boxes...

The "Action Series" commonly found in retail outlets like Target and Wal-Mart come without landing gear options. They're fixed down and don't have the extras (like fuel tanks and bombs).

The "Enthusiast Editions" that you can generally only get through hobby stores and internet orders comes all of the options (gear, cowling, payload, plastic stand).

Both editions have quality control issues.
