I have a shipment coming in from Hobby Master,, so it's either the Spit or the Buffalo's. If it's the Spit I'll let you know.

Just got in the Johnnie Johnson Spitefire. All I can say is just what Borat would say,, " It's A Nice". If Hobby Master keeps putting 1/48 scale planes like this, it will put a hurt on FM.

I think Hobby Master contracted with the same ship's captain that Corgi contracts with. He likes to sail all the way around the world before entering U.S. ports. And then, of course, homeland security checks out that ship every time. And then, customs locks up the ship's cargo for several months before releasing.

Just checked TFM, Aikens, and W&W... still not listed in stock.

Hey RockJock... what is the name of your business??

The Spits were at the US distributors on Nov. 21 and they started to ship to the retailers on the 22nd. It probablt takes a couple of days to get everything shipped and then there is travel time and then when the retailer gets them he has to do his thing so they should start to be listed any day now.

Re: Where's the Spit!!!!

I shall eargerly await the comments and reviews.

I must say considering the short length of time HM have been in the game they certainly have pulled out all the stops, quite remarkable really.
