Default For the week of April 23, 2006

We kick things off with an international offering 1/43 scale Sd. Kfz. 251/1 by Doyusha. It is offer by Hobby Link Japan for 2,000 yen (or about $17.16 in the US). You can find it here:

It appears to me that this piece is the same as those from Schuco, which will soon be available in the US. See the upcoming Schuco 1/43 scale line here:

So those in the US may want to wait and see if a better price and less for shipping on the same piece (and many more) will come about soon.


Our second offering is a buffet of Armour (aka Franklin Mint) on sale offerings from Wings and Wheels. You will find 11 planes and one helicopter being offered within a price range of $39.95 to $59.95. Just under half are post WW II jets, and exactly half (for a total of 6) are WW II airplanes, including 2 which may not be currently available. Check them out here:
