Default For the Week of May 11, 2008

I hope that all of you made out well at your local Tuesday Morning sale for the Corgi sale of this last week. Hopefully you all bought your moms their Mother's Day present before hitting Tuesday Morning--or maybe you just picked something up for her while you were there. For those you who still have a few bucks left, we have a few more items for you to try to squeeze onto your credit card balance.

Our first armor pick is both very affordable and very easy on your display case space. From the Monkey Depot for a mere $2.95. it is a 1:144 scale Takara World Tank Museum Series 8 (157) German King Tiger Peiper
WT0147.

The site says that the boxes are not in top shape, but that was not true for one I ordered a few weeks ago.

HE-111 Ottana Sardinia from Corgi
Commonly regarded as the torpedo bomber H6 version of the HE 111, the H-6 saw use on all fronts including the campaign in North Africa. The aircraft depicted here is in the Mediterranean camouflage from KG 26. KG 26 was the main anti-shipping torpedo geschwader of the Luftwaffe in the Second World War. KG 26 reached the height of their effectiveness attacking convoys over the Baltic as they sailed from the UK to Murmansk in Russia. They developed a tactic they called the `golden comb'. This involved the torpedo-carrying HE 111s attacking all at once in line abreast formation at low altitude at dusk when visibility was at its poorest.

- 1/72 Scale
- Diecast Metal
- Aviation Archives
- Wingspan 12.4 inches
