For those who have any money left in their pocket after last week’s sale, we have four more ways it can fly out of your wallet this week. We’ll start our week selections with two tanks.

The first is from Go Hobbies and Forces of Valor in 1:32 scale. It is a UK Matilda II in very interesting desert camo. I will go hull down for you for $24.00.

Our second pick is another UK tank from the next stop in the war after North Africa. In 1:50 scale from Corgi and 3000 Toys, is a UK Sherman--The Race to Messina and Beyond - M4 A3 Sherman Tank - British Army - Royal Scots Greys - Italy, 1943. It is priced at $24.95.

Our first pick with altitude is from Beck's. While I am not usually a fan of Witty's prop planes, they make a nice Sea Fury--perhaps because it arrived at the beginning of the jet age. In the 1:72 scale and for $19.99, you can pick up a:

SEA FURY - RCN
SQN. 803 - Royal Canadian Navy
Scale: 1/72 L: 5.75" W: 6.25"

Both of this week's armor picks come from a single web page at Spirit of '76. Both are Corgi 1:50 Shermans--each of a different type and from a different war. The page containing both items is here:

http://www.spirit-of-76.com/aircraft...orgi/index.htm

Our first pick is the very last item on that page, a Sherman flame tank from the USMC in Korea during 1953. It is from the Forgotten Heroes collection and will cost you just $22.00.

As this site does not include photos of either of our armor selections, the first one can be seen at the top of this page at Mike's site:

http://www.mikes-tanks.com/CorgiRecent.htm

Our second pick can be found listed two items down from the last of the two pictures that appear on the first referenced link above. It is a M4A3 from the Italy, The Race to Messina and Beyond collection. It is priced at $26.40. You can see in the third and forth rows of Mike's Italy, The Race to Messina and Beyond section here:

http://www.mikes-tanks.com/CorgiWWII.htm


We'll do a little better getting you pictures of our plane picks. From Wartoyz, we have:

U.S. F-15 Eagle - USAF Edwards Test Center

The F-15 Eagle is an all-weather, extremely maneuverable, tactical fighter designed to permit the Air Force to gain and maintain air supremacy over the battlefield. The Eagle's air superiority is achieved through a mixture of maneuverability, acceleration, range, weapons, and avionics.

The F-15's superior maneuverability and acceleration are achieved through high engine thrust-to-weight ratio and low wing loading. Low wing-loading (the ratio of aircraft weight to its winf area) is a vital factor in maneuverability. Combined with the Eagle's high thrust-to-weight ratio, this enables the F-15 to turn tightly without lsing airspeed.

This 1:72 scale die-cast F-15 Eagle is part of the Witty Wings' Sky Guardians series. It is approximately 11 inches long with a wingspan of 7 inches. This plane has the special Edwards Test Center paint scheme.

The model has extensive detailing, including features like metal landing gear, external drop tanks, workable rudders, and functional speedbrake. The detailed cockpit includes a pilot figure and features and opening canopy. The model also includes a display stand.

*ON SALE* - Normally priced at $33.99, today just:

Price: $27.99

Halloween is just around the corner. So I've decided that our first pick should be big and scary.

About the P-47C:
The first flight of the heavy P-47 took place on 6 May 1941. A series of modifications ultimately led to the P-47C-5, which was the principal sub-variant of the P47-C family. This variant was among the first Thunderbolts to be sent overseas for combat, and the 4th FG (Fighter Group) in England received this fighter.

This famous FG was built around "Eagle Squadron", a group of experienced American pilots who were serving with the RAF, many of whom were none too pleased to be trading in their nifty Spitfires!

About Ralph Hofer:
* September 22, 1943, joins 4th Fighter Group
* October 8, 1943, gets air to air kill on first mission
* June 22, 1944, "A" Flight CO

Turning now to our AFV picks, we begin with a little something from the Toy Headquarters for $29.99. From late in World War II, by Forces of Valor it is a 1:32 German Jagdpanther - Belgium.

[FOV80212_310]$41.99 $29.99
Click to enlarge German Jagdpanther - Belgium
SKN: 80212 | SCALE: 1:32

The German JagdPanther was arguably the best tank destroyer design of WWII. The Panther chassis was chosen and it was armed with a powerful 88mm Pak 43 L/71 gun. Although conceptualized and designed in 1942, by the time the tanks were manufactured and shipped to the troops in 1944, Germany was in full retreat across multiple fronts.

MODEL FEATURES:
- Enthusiast Series
- 1/32 Scale
- Die Cast
- Tank Tracks roll along the working suspension
- Main Gun elevates to engage!
- Includes Commander to direct the Battle!
- Real World Accessories in realistic detail!
- Length 11 inches
- Width 4 1/4 inches
- Height 4 inches
This product was added to our catalog on Tuesday 13 September, 2005.

Our final pick for Veteran's Day is from the same time frame and side in the war, but from a different company--Dragon-- and in a 1:72 smaller scale. Offered by Burbank's House of Hobbies for $14.95, we have:



Features:

- Open window display packaging - Highly popular and collectible item - True to 1/72 scale - Fully accurate mold - Fully assembled - Historically accurate markings and insignia - Includes protective display case

At 70 tons, Germany’s Jagdtiger was certainly no lightweight! In fact it was the heaviest armored vehicle to go into production in WWII. A design to mount a 12.8cm antitank gun on the Tiger II chassis was ordered as far back as early 1943, and by April 1944 the first prototype was ready. The first pair of vehicles was fitted with a Porsche-designed suspension system, a system that proved unsatisfactory. Production was delayed until Henschel redesigned the suspension with a torsion bar system.

Dragon Armor has launched a 1/72 scale model of this Henschel Production Jagdtiger. The fully built-up replica represents tank destroyer “X8” of sPzJgAbt 512 fighting in Germany in 1945. Of special note is the realistically textured coating of zimmerit on the hull and superstructure of this Jagdtiger. This collector’s item has been face-lifted and a brand new crane added to the roof. This type of crane was used to lift up the superstructure roof in order to gain access to the fighting compartment for maintenance. The crane is beautifully reproduced to scale, as is the vehicle itself resplendent in its late-war ambush camouflage scheme.

Now that the Thanksgiving weekend is in the books, I know that most of you are looking forward to returning for a full week of work or school. Hopefully each of you was more successful at avoiding the flu bug than was I. However, when the weather changes from 80's to the 30's in just a day or two, I'm usually toast--even without the rain that was thrown in.

Guess I'm well enough to make three armor picks this week. The first is the big boy of the group, and at it's price you'd to have been very good all year to find it in your Christmas stocking. From FOV and Badcat in the 1:16 scale and offered (at least for a few days) at $349.99, it is:

This vehicle features true-to-life detail. Tank tracks that really roll along their independent suspension, hatches and access ports that reveal internal compartments. Turrets and gun barrels that maneuver just like they did in battle. Real life accessories to stow alongside and a display stand with name plate. The detail on this tank is amazing. These are some of the best die cast replicas out today. Comes with one action figure.
