2007 Die Cast Buys of the Week

[KG_Jag]

This week we feature two good buys on AFVs from different eras.


We have featured this first item in the past. But the quality of this Tiger, combined with the price and fact that it is getting more difficult to find, prompts me to feature it again. Available from Monkey Depot at $37.95, it is Dragon Armor 1/35 Tiger #122 Initial Production (61003) DA0172 s.Pz.Abt.502

It's time to head to the airfield for our next two selections for this week. The oldest and largest (at least in real life) is a Corgi 1:144 scale Lancaster bomber offered by Spirit of '76 for $16.50. Here are some details and a picture:

Avro Lancaster I- "Admiral Prune" Wg. Cdmr. Gibson - This aircraft was often used by Wing Cdmr. Guy Gibson, the squadron CO with 106 Squadron. Because it often dropped sea mines, known as “gardening,� the squadron took a nautical stance. Wingspan 8.5" (1:144)
