Edit,
Panic over JP I figured it out and I have it sitting smugly in my cabinet. Phew I thought for one moment there was a P40 out there I had missed.

I really should have known that one by looking at your Avatar , staring me in the face and didnt see. Well its 00.25am and I think I had better hit the sack.

A few questions:

Have you painted your Corgi F-4 bases black or did you use some from other models?

Also, How did you mount you GA Bald Eagle and your MB F-100 onto Corgi stands? Have you tried other MB models?

I painted them flat black...These were stands i got from estates sales or yard sales.

Also, How did you mount you GA Bald Eagle and your MB F-100 onto Corgi stands? Have you tried other MB models?
Bald Eagle i think i trimmed the rubber tip of the stand or trimmed the hole in the P-51 a little bigger and the MB F-100 was a extra one i had and i had to make a little hole in the bottom of it to fit the Corgi stand.

Thanks for the responses.

I'm floored that you can find Corgi planes at yard and estate sales in your area but I guess you can't take it with you - and most wives can't wait to get rid of it!
