What do you mean when you say that the first pick is not in your budget?! OK cheapskate, maybe you'll like 1:35 scale Frontline Figures 1944 British Army Sherman Firefly with 2 crewman for $43.99 from the Hobby Bunker.




One awaits here:

About the Stuka:
Early in WWII, the German Ju-87 Stuka dive bombers struck fear into the hearts of its prey, and they were a powerful symbol of the new style of blitzkrieg warfare. However, as the war progressed, the Stuka was found to be vulnerable, and so other uses were found for it. One of these was as an airborne tank killer, with the Ju-87G being the final version of this distinctive and ungainly looking aircraft.

She's busting T-34's here:

We wrap up the week with a 1:72 scale Witty F-14A Tomcat flown by the VF-24 "Fighting Renegades" stationed at NAS Fallon in 1991 from Historical Aviation for $29.95.



Replicating Camel Smoker, an F-14A Tomcat flown by the VF-24 "Fighting Renegades" stationed at NAS Fallon in 1991, this amazingly detailed, 1/72 scale, die cast model features engraved panel lines and simulated rivets; a detailed cockpit with an opening canopy and two crew figures; realistic engine nacelles; an optional-position tail hook and air brake; plenty of weapons; extended landing gear; a three-tone camouflage scheme and authentic markings, including Camel Smoker nose art; and more. Measures 10¼" long with a 6"-10¼" variable wingspan.
