Will each and every model need at least a small amount of work to bring it up to a proto-sincere modeler's level of accuracy? Of course it will, as will any mass-produced model we run.

    And with that thought in mind I would assume that by 1941 most/all would have been repainted.  So if I wanted to buy (am going to do) 2 of each type what ones would I buy?  If all the current ones have the early paint am I going to have to wait for a second run?

    And an off the cuff remark it seems Walthers didn't order enough (very big grin)!
