I'm looking for the Tiger Meet Tornado, model number 5088.  One of my old squaddie's birds.  :)
Seems to be unavailable in the US.  Let me know if you see one for sale anywhere.

Yeah, I'm waiting for a proper photo of the 418 Sqn 'Black Rufe'!

Some of the Corgi range are nice diecast models.

The 1/32 scale Spits sure look nice!

They also have 1/72 P51D, Preddy's, same as in AH

One thing that I do think is cool is the Dragon 1/72 R/C Tiger tanks!  There are four colour schemes available, desert yellow, grey, yellow/camoflage, winter.

Wow a B17 and a Mossie?  In 1:48th scale?  My bank account is gonna be a lot smaller this summer.  

I just order a FW-190 in white winter camo last week.  It should be here in a couple of weeks.  Will post a pic when I get it.

Steep price considering I got a P-38 and a B-25 together as a package deal for $129, but if the quality is anything near the B-25 then the B-17 will be well worth it.
