Default For the Week of April 1, 2012

Now that cloud of April Fools Day has passed, we can issue this weeks picks with confidence that each will taken seriously.

First in April is the 1:32 scale Forces of Valor U.S. M270 MLRS Multiple Launch Rocket System from Wartoyz for $27.99.



The U.S. Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) carries 12 rockets, which can each contain up to 644 M-77 Shaped Charge rounds. The reload time is less than 5 minutes. Standard Rockets engage targets up to 19 miles away and the new extended range rockets can hit targets up to 31 miles away.

This detailed 1:32 scale version of the M270 MLRS is part of Forces Of Valor's Action Series.

The 1:32 scale vehicle is approximately 9 inches long, and has missile canisters that elevate plus a working suspension with tracks that roll. It comes complete with a commander figure.

We get high with medical die cast from Aim Higher Jets and the 1:144 scale Century Wings F-14A Tomcat USN VF-41 Black Aces, AJ100, USS Nimitz, 1978 for $20.00.



The Century Wings line of models are probably the MOST accurately replicated F-14A model ever made. They are now expanding this line to the 1/144 scale collectible line. The F-14 is a 1/144 scale model of VF-41 of the Black Aces squadron. Tail number is AJ100.

Don't let the smaller size fool you, Century Wings has included every detail from the gun turret to the sheet metal panels are accurately depicted on the jet. This particular model depicts the aircraft in the normal flying configuration with gear extended. Additionally, the model comes with a beautiful display stand. Production is limited to 2,000 units worldwide with US Retailers receiving a significantly smaller portion of the total models.

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable geometry wing aircraft. The F-14 was the United States Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor and tactical reconnaissance platform from 1972 to 2006. It later performed precision strike missions once it was integrated with LANTIRN. It was developed after the collapse of the F-111B project, and was the first of the American teen-series fighters which were designed incorporating the experience of air combat in Vietnam against MIGs.

It entered service in 1972 with the U.S. Navy, replacing the F-4 Phantom II. It was later exported to the Imperial Iranian Air Force in 1976. It was retired from the U.S. Navy fleet on 22 September 2006, having been replaced by the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. As of 2007, it remains in service only with the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force.
