Good site.  Love diecast models.  My favorites are the Matchbox Collectibles 1/72 WWII fighters.

I have all but 3 of the Armour P38s.  I have a couple of Eagle International P51s as well.  It's a dangerous hobby once you start :)

Flying Mule has good service and prices.

     Every once in a while I play nasty and send Guppy some new link
to Flying Mule aircraft :)

     Eagles International has sensational 1/48 scale 51s and T-6s.  I also
like the Hobby Master 1/72nd scale stuff as the details are excellent
and you can fit more of them on your shelves. :aok

Here is my next buy:

     Actually that isn't very realistic. To be a true Phantom it has to be
covered nose to tail with soot, grime and oily hydraulics  :D
I was just waiting for a halfway decent E model because that's the one
I worked on.

He does too!  That's why I've got a couple of 1/72nd scale Jugs on the shelf as well!  Bastage started me in this hobby long ago when he sent me an F4U!

     They have Mirage IIIs and the 2000 :)

Unfortunately the HS-129 is on backorder  :D

Unless you want a Chinese T-55, you'll have to wait till July for
the East German one  :D

well . the soot, oil, grease were mostly on the bottom.

mostly.

Worked all the types in USAF inventory and the Luftwaffe version of the F-4, which we called 'the Pig' ..sometimes with affection, most times not.

The cool thing about the T-55 ..standing in it, you can pull two pins on either side engaging the turret ring, manually swing the turret, and drop the pins back in to fine tune your aiming .. barrel traverse time can be very fast .. would have been a terror in close combat.
