As was the case last week, both of our armor selections are from CR Grace. This week both are 1:50 scale Corgi World War II tanks offered for $18.99 each. Our first selection is a British Cromwell Tank.

We'll stay in the World War II ETO for our aircraft selections. Each is a US fighter in the 1:72 scale.
Many believe that the Dragon P-51Ds are the best in this scale. We were able to find one that is available for only $15.00. It is a
CLOSEOUT Limited Edition!! USAAF 8AF, 361st FG, 375th FS-Blue from Pete's.

Our final selection is a 1/72 P-38J. This one is from Corgi and is one of their finest renderings of a WW II fighter in this scale. It is Robin Olds' bird complete with invasion stripes price at $34.95. Diecast Direct won't let me show it to you, but you can check it out here:

Edit: Joe Pilot has the same P-38J and for only $27.49. They will also let me show the information about the plane, if not its picture.

Description
This P-38 was one of the few in the 479th FG that retained its olive drab scheme right up until the unit transitioned to the P-51D in September, 1944.
NEW CASTING!
The red rudder was adopted in place of the 434th FS *s geometric symbol around the time of D-Day. Robin Olds flew at least two P-38Js during his initial months of combat with the 479th FG, this aircraft almost certainly being the last of them.
