found these on PSC's website and they look like a great deal at £10.00 GBP but shipping is over £40.00 GBP to the US. Does anyone know where else I can get them? link

Check under the "Retailers" link. Brookhurst Hobbies, Noble Night Games and On Military Matters in the US, apparently.

I've only ever seen them on their site. I bought mine years ago though. The planes are nice and while there is inscribed detail for the balkenkruz on the wings it looks fine if you're using decals. The detail on the planes is very good and clean up is easy.

I checked the US retailers but couldn't find them listed.

Why would shipping be so high for such a small package? That is insane.

The aircraft are from PSC's "Battle of Britain" boardgame and are nice wargaming models for the scale, but I'm pretty sure they are in fairly short supply as they are just leftovers from a special order made in China specifically for the boardgames. The item description for the aircraft at PSC, for example, mentions that the bag contains no 109s or Heinkels, so they are out of those models. You can check PSC's distributors, but you are likely to be disappointed if you want a complete selection of aircraft.

As Striker mentions, most of the PSC German aircraft (bombers and 109s, but not 110s or Stukas I believe) have molded Balkenkreuz, but they can be sanded smooth or painted as are. The British aircraft don't have molded roundels, but the Gloster Gladiators have exaggerated wing ribs and solid interplane struts.

Shipping was also much cheaper when I bought mine-about 10 pounds total for three or more items, but that was years ago.
