For the Week of July 22, 2012
Since we went big with the armor last week, both of our picks this week are dragon 1:72 scale pieces. In a way they are roughly the same tanks as last week. We start with the Sd. Kfz. 181 Tiger-I Mid Production, sPzAbt 508, March 1944 from OB's for $10.95.
 Grab your whip & chair and then click here: http://www.obsdiecastplanes.com/inde...roducts_id=625 Next up is our Sherman, but this one is Firefly--captured by the Germans. The Flying Mule has it for $10.95.   The pilot model of the M4 was completed in September 1941, and the Sherman became the most widely produced tank of the war. The M4 Sherman defeated heavier tanks with superior numbers, and by using outflanking tactics to strike thinner enemy flank armor. Shermans also achieved success with progressively upgunned models and by working with tank destroyers. The Sherman tank--named by the British--was fast, maneuverable, mechanically reliable, easy to manufacture, and effective in its infantry support role. It served with the US Army and Marines during World War II, and the US transferred large numbers to the United Kingdom and allied forces of many countries. Dragon's 1:72 scale M4 Sherman is constructed almost entirely of diecast plastic, which provides for the greatest possible level of detailing. Featuring a 360-degree rotating turret with elevating cannon, this model has hatches, hinges, welded amour plating and a turret that are all stunningly accurate, and the same level of detailing has been applied to the vehicle's track system. The model's underside features forward crew escape hatch, engine compartment access panels and wheel suspension components. Additional detailing includes delicate guards that shield both head lamps and textured lenses and tail lights. Subtle airbrushed weathering with hand-painted tools and equipment add a finishing touch. The Dragon Models "1:72 Dragon Armor Collector Series" range presents highly-detailed, ready-made plastic models of military vehicles. Dragon Armor tanks require no gluing or painting. Each model is an instant display piece or diorama centerpiece straight from the box and is 100% true to scale... these don't look like model tanks, they look like tanks!. Color, camouflage and unit markings are carefully researched for maximum authenticity, marking the difference between and authentic scale model tank and a "toy" tank. Dragon Models "1:72 Dragon Armor Collector Series" display model vehicles feature:
http://www.flyingmule.com/products/DM-60260 Going to the air before the football season begins, our initial rout is to the 1:72 scale Gemini Aces Supermarine Spitfire MK. IX--USAAF 52nd FG, 12th AF--Tunisia, 1943--Lt. Ohr from Fantastic Flyers for $20.97.  All models in the Gemini Aces line come standard with the following features:
This beautifully presented Spitfire Mk. IX wears a very unusual color scheme, but doesn't she look a picture!

She's flying through the dust storm and coming out here: http://www.fantasticflyers.com/spitf...04-p-1040.html On everyone's six this week is the Dragon 1:72 scale Me109G-2 Trop De La 385a Squadriglia from Pete's for $24.95.

This version with a white spinner was one of the latest P-40 's to still be flying when attached to the 11th Fighter Squadron in 1943 The P-40's legacy will always be as the aircraft flown by Claire Chennault's American Volunteer Group (A.V.G or also known as the Flying Tigers). 100 P-40's (considered obsolete) were given to the Chinese in 1941. In approximately 6 months of combat the AVG officially destroyed 297 planes with another 153 probables.

XIX, No. 541 Squadron, Benson, 1944 (1:48) by Hobby Master Diecast Airplanes Item Number: HA7601 The Spitfire PR XIX was the last Spitfire with elliptical wings and was the last RAF Spitfire type in front-line service. The PR XIX was a combination of power by the Griffon engine of the Mk. XIV and the wings of the PR XI making it the fastest Spitfire. Weapons were removed to allow for larger fuel tanks in the leading edge of the wings making it possible to fly missions as far as Berlin at altitudes over 40,000 feet. By the end of production 225 XIX had been made. The 541 Squadron was formed in October 1942 at RAF Benson, Oxfordshire, England. The squadron used Spitfire PR XIX to carry out reconnaissance missions over Europe until the end of WWII. By late 1944 the D-Day stripes were worn on the fuselage only. No. 541 Squadron was disbanded on October 1, 1946 but reformed November 1, 1947. Still using the PR XIX they flew photographic reconnaissance and survey missions. The squadron continued to use the PR XIX until December 1950 when they were replaced with Meteors.

For the Week of August 26, 2012
For our last time around in August, we feature two Dragon King Tigers but in different scales. We'll start with the 1:72 scale King Tiger (Henschel Turret) 1/sPzAbt 101, France 1944 w/Zimmerit coating from The Toy Federation for $9.95.
 1/72 Scale King Tiger (Henschel Turret) 1/sPzAbt 101, France 1944 w/Zimmerit coating - Pre-injected Zimmerit coating - Accurate markings and camouflage - Highly detailed exhaust dischargers - Elevating gun - Realistic weathered track links This 1/72 static die-cast model features a King Tiger mounted with a Henschel turret of the sPzAbt 101 in France in 1944. The King Tiger, Germany's most formidable Heavy Tank, made its first appearance on the WWII theater in 1944. The first 50 tanks produced had Porsche turrets whereas subsequent tanks were equipped with the Henschel designed production turret. The King Tiger was armed with a 71-caliber 88mm gun that had enough power to penetrate 150mm thick armor from 2000m away. For protection, the chassis front armor was 150mm thick with 80mm thick side armor. Hail to the King: http://www.thetoyfederation.com/prod...8&cat=0&page=2 Mislabeled as being 1:72 scale is the 1:35 scale King Tiger Henschel Turret w/Zimmerit, Western Front 1945 (DRR61011) from Aviation Supermart for $47.95.  Weighing 69.8 tons, Germany's King Tiger tank entered production in mid-1944. It was an impressive vehicle, and being the final tank design to enter production during WWII, it could be seen as the pinnacle of German tank design. The King Tiger was armed with an 8.8cm KwK 43 L/71 gun and its frontal armor was up to 180mm thick. Such a formidable fighting machine had weaknesses though, since its heavy bulk and underpowered engine meant it wasn't as mobile as it should have been. Dragon Armor has launched its second fantastic fully built-up 1/35 scale model of a Tiger II. This Henschel production version of the King Tiger is based on a tank from 3./s.PzAbt 506 that fought on the Eastern Front in 1945. Dragons 1/35 scale tank is distinctive with a full coat of Zimmerit on the hull and turret. This copy of the original antimagnetic mine paste has been carefully and realistically crafted and textured to scale. The camouflage scheme feature red-brown stripes over a yellow base, along with tactical markings painted over the Zimmerit in a most realistic manner. The designers and craftsmen responsible for this masterpiece have provided everything necessary to produce an accurate model. It even features delicately detailed engine mesh screens made from photo-etched metal. This King Tiger, a real striped big cat, is ready to spring into action! The big cat awaits here: http://www.aviationsupermart.com/sto...945-1-72-.html An other of the quickly vanishing 1:48 Eagles International birds has been spotted. It is the P-51B Mustang Mk.III 1/48 Die Cast Model Sqn. Leader Eugeniusz Horbaczewski, Polish RAF with a bonus book--RAF Mustang and Thunderbolt Aces Aircraft of the Aces Vol. 93 by Andrew Thomas. The combo can be had from Historic Aviation for $59.95. P-51B Mustang Mk.III 1/48 Die Cast Model Sqn. Leader Eugeniusz Horbaczewski, Polish RAF This amazingly detailed, limited edition, 1/48 scale, die cast model of the Mustang Mk.III flown by 16½-victory ace Eugeniusz Horbaczewski - the commander of RAF No. 315 (City of Deblin) Polish Fighter Squadron in 1944 - is a real beauty! It features engraved panel lines, a fully outfitted cockpit with an opening canopy and a figure of Horbaczewski, cowl panels that can be removed to reveal a detailed engine, movable flight control surfaces, wing-mounted fuel tanks, removable 500-pound bombs, optional-position landing gear with real rubber tires, authentic markings, a display stand, and more. 8½" wingspan. RAF Mustang and Thunderbolt Aces Aircraft of the Aces Vol. 93 Thomas. Two of the finest American fighters of World War II, the P-51 Mustang and P-47 Thunderbolt saw substantial service in the Royal Air Force. This book examines those aircraft and the pilots who achieved ace status flying them, including Polish aces Stanislaw Skalski and Eugeniusz "Dziubek" Horbaczewski. 96 pages, B&W photographs and color illustrations, 7¼"x 9¾", softcover. The read and fly package can be snagged here: http://www.historicaviation.com/prod...category=USAAF Fighters Again we have a little brother in the 1:72 scale. This time it is the Gemini Aces replica of "Bald Eagle," the P-51B Mustang flown by Lt. Robert Eckfeldt of the 374th Fighter Squadron, 361st Fighter Group "Yellowjackets". Military Issue has it for $24.95. A replica of "Bald Eagle," the P-51B Mustang flown by Lt. Robert Eckfeldt of the 374th Fighter Squadron, 361st Fighter Group "Yellowjackets," on June 29, 1944, when he destroyed four Fw 190s on the ground at Oschersleben Airport, this limited edition, 1/72 scale, die cast Gemini model features engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit with a pilot figure, movable flight control surfaces, two removable wing-mounted fuel tanks, a rotating propeller, optional-position landing gear with free-rolling wheels and real rubber tires, authentic markings, and more. 6¼" wingspan; arrives ready to display on the included stand.

1:32 scale diecast tank by Forces of Valor Premium Enthusiast Edition 81311. Features rotating turrent, moving tracks and historically authentic paint scheme. Recommended for teen and adult collectors. An American tank rapidly designed and built to enter WW2 service. Although it was typical of the world's tank designs when first introduced, it could not compete with German armor of the time. It was eventually withdrawn from front line duty in favor of the M4 Sherman medium tank. Product Description:

The Royal Navy acquired Hurricanes to help in the Battle of the Atlantic which, in early 1940, had a steep rise in shipping losses far from shore, where land-based aircraft could not provide air cover for Allied convoys. This gave rise to the 'Hurricat', a converted Hurricane carried by CAM-ships. Hurricanes converted for such a role needed only the addition of catapult spools, and 50 Hurricane Mk I land-planes were so modified and designated Sea Hurricane Mk IA. The first of the Hurricanes and Sea Hurricanes to see service with the Fleet Air Arm arrived in February 1941 and were operating with front line unit 880 Squadron from 15 March 1941. Battle of Britain ace 'Dickie' Cork first flew W9220 on 7 April 1941 and continued to do so for several months. The Sea Hurricane Mk I were followed by about 300 Mk I's converted to Sea Hurricane Mk IB configuration, these having catapult spools plus a V-frame arrester hook: in addition 25 Mk IIA were modified as Sea Hurricane IB or Hooked Hurricane II fighters.Searching here for the perfect cove to hold a holiday picnic: http://www.flyingmule.com/products/CG-AA32017
