Has anyone seen these in the stores (Walmart, Target, TRU) yet?

Yes, I got the British Spits from two different WalMarts, hundreds of miles apart. Singly packed, too, and not bundled with the Me-262. I got the last of the local ones.

I picked up both a couple of weeks ago at Walmart. The British Spitfire Mk VIII/IX comes with a FW-190A-8, and The Australian Spitfire Mk VIII/IX comes with a Ki-84 Hayate. The British Spitfire is in standard gray and green cammo and the Australian Spitfire is in brown and green cammo w/white trim. No single packs of Spitfires at my local Walmart.

Is it an Aussie Spit or simply the RAF roundel with the red circle painted out to avoid confusion with the Jap Red dot?

I didn't find the Spits, but Toys'R'Us had a A6M2 Zero and an SBD in a double pack.

The markings for the Australian Spitfire is that of the 3rd link in rat of tobruk's post. CR (roundel) C on the side.
