Default For the Week of December 14, 2008

We start this week with two AFV's which both have a $19.95 price tag.

The first is a 1:72 scale Hobby Master Achilles Mk.IIC British 1st Army Corps, Normandy, 1944 from 3000Toys.



Here's where you to check it out:

Our next selection is a Corgi Cromwell Centaur Mk.IV Tank 1:50 scale Die Cast Model D-Day, Normandy from Military Issue.



This 1/50 scale die cast Corgi model of a Cromwell Centaur Mk.IV includes working features such as a movable turret and rubber tracks, separately applied detail parts, supplies strapped on the rear, a weathered finish, plus three camouflaged British paratroopers slogging through Normandy to help secure a firm foothold in German-occupied Europe. 6" long. #0091674

We go to the air with an outstanding deal on a 1:32 scale Corgi working range P-51D. You can pick it up for a very low $49.95 at either Historic Aviation or Military Issue.



Not only does this limited edition, 1/32 scale die cast model of 13½-victory ace Donald Strait's P-51D Mustang "Jersey Jerk" include top-of-the-line features such as a removable engine cowl, a detailed cockpit with a sliding canopy, and movable flight control surfaces, it also includes powered features such as illuminated navigation lights, a fully operational undercarriage, and a spinning propeller with real engine sounds! You control the action through the specially designed base, so strap on your flight helmet and get ready for takeoff! 14¼" wingspan; arrives ready to display. #0091527

Our final regular selection this week is a Witty 1:72 scale Venezuelan Special Markings 20 Year"" F-16 Fighting Falcon. Pete's has it for $19.99 without the coupon code and only $15.99 with it.



The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a compact, multi-role fighter aircraft. It is highly maneuverable and has proven itself in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. It provides a relatively low-cost, high-performance weapon system for the United States and allied nations.

Merry Christmas! There still is time to pick up this week's picks as a gift, or perhaps for yourself with something extra you found in your stocking.

We begin with a $12.50 your choice of Dragon 1:72 scale German World War II armor from On Mark. You have three items from which to chose. The first of these is 60126 Panther G (Early Production)- Sd.Kfz 171, 19.PzDiv., Warsaw 1944.



Behind door number 2 is the 60289 Sd.Kfz.181 Tiger I Hybrid s.Pz.Abt.506 Ardennes 1944.



Finally in the box next to Jay is the 60239Jagdpanzer IV L/70 (Late Production), "#101" Command Version, Germany 1945 w/side skirt armor and antenna.



All three can be found on the same line about 3/5ths down this web page:

http://onmarkint.netfirms.com/onmark...d_tag_page.php


Our final ground pounder selection this week is something different. From the Flying Mule for $13.99, it is a Dragon 1:72 Armor 60349 AAV7 AmTrack Diecast Model USMC, MICLIC (Mine Clearance Line Charge).




The AAV7A1 family of vehicles is the newest rendition of the LVTP7 that originally made its appearance in 1971. Developed by FMC Corporation (now United Defense, LP), this 17-ton amphibious vehicle can achieve speeds of up to 64km/h on roads and 13.5km/h in water. It is the mainstay of the U.S. Marine amphibious vehicle fleet today, as well as being used by marine forces from a number of other nations. These “tuna boats” have most recently been proving themselves in the dusty heat of Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
Dragon Armor has previously released a 1/72 AAVP7A1, but the newest member in the family offers something extra. The new collectors’ item includes an accurately depicted MK-154 MICLIC (Mine Clearance Line Charge) system mounted atop the AAV. Firing up to three rocket-projected explosive line charges into a minefield, the MK-154 system can produce a safe lane up to 16m wide and 100m long. This self-contained electric and hydraulic mine-clearing equipment is ideal for beach assaults, and was deployed in OIF during the initial invasion. This particular model lacks nothing! It is finished in a three-color NATO camouflage scheme. All the relevant detail of the real AAV7A1 is glorious portrayed. This unique model represents an unusual vehicle in the USMC inventory, one that is sure to please fans of modern armored equipment.

Default For the Week of December 28, 2008

It's the last time around for this year--except for our upcoming 2008 Die Cast Buys of the Year. So I'll take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy 2009.

Our first pick this last time around is a Dragon 1/35 King Tiger Porsche Turret with Zimmerit from Pete's for $49.99. That price includes shipping to the end of the year.



Get this early version of the KT here:

http://www.petescollectibles.com/dis...=DRR61007#item


Our second selection is a very good deal from Squadron on a large 1:24 scale Franklin Mint tank. It's a M4A3 Sherman 'Easy 8'. Korean War era US Army medium tank die cast model finished with fierce tiger paint scheme of the 3rd Infantry Division, 64th Tank Battalion, Korea, March 1951. The tab is $93.99.



Get face to face here:

http://www.squadron.com/ItemDetails.asp?item=FM11E406


Also at Squadron is a very good deal on a classic Corgi 1:72 scale heavy bomber. This one is a Consolidated B-24J Liberator- "Michigan". Series Aviation: Nose Art. Fully assembled and painted die-cast metal model. Includes removable landing gear, rubber tires, and display stand. The art refers to The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan and is the U.S. product development managers alma mater, M Go Blue! This BB (before Beau) classic can bomb Columbus for you if you have the $47.52.



Here's your ticket to Ann Arbor:

http://www.squadron.com/ItemDetails.asp?item=CG34011

Our final selection our Texas vendors is the rarely done IL-2. This 1:72 scale version is the largest of the two "Flying Tanks" out there. It's an IXO and Pete can get you one for just $17.96, if you use Pete's coupon code. In any case, your shipping to the lower 48 is free.



Hit the deck and direct all AAA here:
