OK aircraft fans--it's your turn. Our first selection is an excellent value on the Century Wings 1:72 scale F-14A Tomcat. Joe Pilot brings you the F-14A Tomcat - USN VF-101 Grim Reapers for $48.95.

The "Century Wings" range presents highly-detailed, ready-made diecast models of military aircraft. Beginning with the ever popular F-14 Tomcat, Century Wings are setting a new standard in 1:72 diecast for detail and accuracy. Each model includes a selection of weapons and removable pilot figures. Most notable however, are the completed landing gear sub-assemblies that snap quickly into place, eliminating the frustration of attaching numerous individual gear doors and struts found on similar diecast models.

This beautiful rendition of the famous F-14 Tomcat can be configured for ground or "in-flight" display. Furthermore, the wings can be positioned in varying levels of sweep position.

Scale: 1/72 - Length: 10.25" - Width: 10.75"
Item Number: CW-587571

Head out to sea on this heading:

Our final selection is a Corgi 1:72 scale Blackburn Buccaneer S.Mk.2 1968 Royal Navy from toysandhobbles for $29.99.



The Buccaneer is the world's first low-level, high-speed strike aircraft. It was capable of delivering a nuclear weapon and flying beneath enemy radar at speeds in excess of Mach 0.9. In January 1966, No. 809 Squadron re-equipped the Buccaneer S.1 to the S.2, and embarked in HMS Hermes in January 1967, sailing around the world before returning home in February 1968. Wingspan 7"
