This is the week to buy 1:48 scale Franklin Mint/Armour aircraft. There are two closeouts sales--look like liquidations to me--that are being held. We will feature two aircraft from each. Both are featured on their own respective thread in this section. So if you want to see all the offerings, check out those threads.
The first of these is from ClassicCloseouts, where as I write, 27 planes are on the menu (28 are listed but the desert Bf-109F is listed twice at two different prices).
From this sale we feature is the DH98 Mosquito, Black Rufe for $39.99.

The second pick from this sale is a JU87 Stuka Dora Tank Killer from the Luftwaffe in winter camo. It will set you back just $32.99.

The second FM/Armour blowout is from Badcat and features over 40 different planes. From that sale we feature not only a P-38, one of FM's best molds, but we were going to feature Richard Bong "Marge". Unfortunately that one has sold out. So we will feature, for also $39.99:
P-38 Little Buckaroo 1:48 Franklin Mint B11E379 CLEARANCE

With four aircraft featured, we still have a couple of ground vehicles to include for the week.

Enthusiast Series
1:32 scale die cast steel collectible from Forces of Valor.
This vehicle features true-to-life detail. Tank tracks that really roll along their independent suspension, hatches and access ports that reveal internal compartments. Turrets and gun barrels that maneuver just like they did in battle. Real life accessories to stow alongside and a display stand with name plate. The detail on this tank is amazing. These are some of the best die cast replicas out today. Comes with one action figure, gas cans, sand bags, and removable armor.
