I just saw 2 PBY in prewar colors and a Martlet among other new 2008 Franklin Mint listed at Aikens. Take a look...better than HA listings.
Also a gorgeous B-17.

Yeah, there are a few new repaints and a brand new PBY in presumably 1/48. The PBY is a -5 which makes it a stretch for a prewar PBY, but it will be good to see this model in detail. The Junkers F-13 is also new to the US market. There's also a torpedo He 111 which looks cool.

Lots of nice planes there.
And a signed Ltd Edition Old Crow for Shawn.

The "Spotted Ape" is also new for 2008... I can't believe it! My uncle flew this assembly ship after he finished his missions with the 458th Bombardment Group. I may just have to break down and add one of those huge, heavy, under-detailed B-24s to my collection. What do you think the chances are that FM will plug the screw holes????

That is one big, under-detailed, FUGLY B24, too (though the familial tie-in gives you a better excuse than I have for any of my models)

I just got a Dragon and His Tail FM Lib -- great deal -- but I don't have it here yet. (Calling contractors this week for bids on a house extension... )

I find it very puzzling that FM's done not one, but two assembly ships and Corgi's is bargin bin fodder... granted, both of FM's choices are more visually "interesting".

And, is that a razorback P-47 I see, too.. . cool scheme even... hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Though it's called a P-47D Razorback... wonder if it's just the art for the Razorback, and it will be the same D-model bubbletop mold?

That new Rufe looks nice, too...

[STARMAN 352ND]

Well they answered the U.S.A.F. LANGLEY AFB "RED FLAG" F-22 RAPTOR.....That is the one i have been asking for since last year..I hope
FM gets the the correct color scheme on this one...
Also it's nice to see the PBY being made.

Cool!

Finally the cat is out of the bag.

A AC-47 Gunship?! If it has the side-mounted miniguns it's a sure buy! (oh, oh I am SO running out of space - again!)
