At least a couple times during 2011, we featured Dragon 1:72 scale Hornets. However, I have not been able to find one priced as low as $18.45, which is the current Great Models price for the F/A-18E Super Hornet VFA-105 "Gunslingers".

Perhaps even more rare than the 1:72 scale Dragon jet fighters are any of the Carousel 1 1:48 fighters. On November 20th, we featured the F4F-3 VF-41 Red Rippers from Great Models for $34.95.

Likewise, it seems like just yesterday when, on the day before Halloween, we picked the camouflaged P-36A Hawk flown by Major Willis Taylor - commanding officer of the 27th Pursuit Squadron, 1st Pursuit Group - in the 1939 Cleveland National Air Races, this 1/48 scale die cast model features engraved panel lines; a fully outfitted cockpit with instruments, glazed windows and a removable pilot figure; a rotating metal propeller; retractable landing gear with real rubber tires; authentic markings; and more. 9¼" wingspan. Historical Aviation had the Carousel 1 1:48 scale P-36A Hawk--Willis Taylor, 15th Pursuit Group, 1939 Cleveland Air Races from Historical Aviation in stock for $39.95. They claim that they still do.
