Title: Interested in Authentic WW2 and Modern Replicas?
Post by: Bodhi on June 04, 2001, 12:14:00 AM
Hey all,

Just thought I would let you all know, on top of restoring WW2 aircraft, my company, Aircraft Parts is an authorised distributor of the Armour Collection.  These are 1/48th and 1/100 scale diecast models of modern and back to WW2 era aircraft.  There are quite a few paint schemes available.  If you want, take a look at the Reeves International Sight at www.armourcollection.com (http://www.armourcollection.com)  and they can show you what is offered.  If you are interested, I suggest you email me at bodhi83@cfl.rr.com and let me know what ya want.  My prices are far below the stores that sell them, as I am a direct sales agent for the Reeves Company that imports them.  Take a look, they are awesome!

To all:
The Me262, Spitfire, B-25, Me110, Hellcat and a variety of other Luftwaffe and some japanese stuff are due out this year.  The B-25 will also be arriving theis year.  The 25 will be huge!  Imagine it in 1/48th scale Diecast metal!

Zigrat,

These aircraft range in price from the high 40's to the mid 60's (bigger modern stuff) in 1/48th and from 15 to 30 in 1/100th scale.  The helmets are 9.95.  

Hope you enjoy

hey Bodhi, can you get in contact with me at mkubicki@cynium.com . I wanted to open up a little LW museum in my house, and well I saw a few of those models at wwiidiecast.com. Can you get back to me on this?

These are only good for people who don't want to make them for themselves. Or as a present of course.
If you are handy with scalemodels and airbrushing, they will be become much more beautiful.


In short, i hate those metal things.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) LOL I would never buy one of those for myself.

Greetings,

Bleah, only Yank and Nazi stuff.

No nice Spitfire MkIXs or MkXIVs (actually no Spitfires in 1/48 at all) and no Mosquitoes.

BTW, I have one of their P-38s.  My only complaint is that it has WAY to much plastic.  The landing gear in particular should have been die cast metal as well.  The props, landing gear doors and horizontal stabilizer would have been nicer as metal as well.
