Our second AFV pick of 2009 is getting harder to find. From Hobbylinc for $32.59, it is a 1/32 scale German Panzer IV Ausf F Eastern Front.
The Panzer IV Ausf. F was actually the third production variant to the Panzer IV. The initial versions A, B, and C were used for development and training only. The first production unit was an Ausf. D. The Ausf. F featured a new turret design, a new drive sprocket and was the last variant armed with short barrel 75mm gun.
This way to Stalingrad:

We ended 2008 with a good buy on one Corgi 1:72 scale B-24 Liberator and we'll start 2009 with another. This one is all dressed up to party with the rest of the 459th Bomb Group, Italy, 1944. From Historic Aviation for $59.95, this bird is wearing the late-war markings of the 459th Bomb Group, which flew with the 15th Air Force out of Italy in 1944, this 1/72 scale, limited edition die cast model of a radar-equipped B-24 features engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit with crew figures, manned machine guns, rotating propellers, optional-position landing gear with real rubber tires, the original's flamboyant paint scheme, a display stand, and more. 18" wingspan.
