Very nice 1:35 diecast models

P51s and a P40. Quite expensive but *very* well done. Probably better, IMO, than 1:32 Corgi models (less expensive, tho).

The only problem of these nice models is the wife-ack ;)

"And one of the finest aircraft I ever flew was the Macchi C.205. Oh, beautiful. And here you had the perfect combination of italian styling and german engineering .... it really was a delight to fly ... and we did tests on it and were most impressed." - Captain Eric Brown

Which P-51 model is it? Slightly off subject, but how can you tell the difference between Pony models? (B, D, ect)

P-51, P-51A - "Razorback" with carb intake scoop above prop spinner.
P-51B/C - Razorback with Merlin and no scoop above spinner.
P-51D/K - Like B/C except bubble canopy.

The model is a D/K.  D and K were identical models built in different factories.  B/C have the same relationship as well.

And my experience with GMP is pretty good, at least with cars.  Some minor quality flaws but one of the better products out there.  They still can't match Kyosho though.  Best die cast cars EVAR.
