Nice ones Trex!

The Hornet is something special!

Gee, that's what they keep telling me each and every day. ;-)

Sadly over here and especially in my city prices are as high as ever.

Yeah, me too. I spend like a ton of money on both of them since last year.

Most prices are really awesome!

F-16 Aggressor 57 FWW - 64 FWS. Retired 2003.
Got it from ebay. It is a good model overall, the paint lines are a little blurry but it still looks good.

Coldupnorth - Neat idea for a discussion - perhaps my favorite topic, since I get to see first-hand all of the neat-o stuff everyone buys - to see if I want to get them... - HA! My "offerings" for this particular thread of discussion (sorry for replying so late - my computer's been hard-down with some missing operating files - had to go through a WHOLE bunch of in order to get it up and running again!! I honestly think Microsoft software is twitchier than Charles Manson on crack cocaine!!) are as follows:

(1) My first order of business (recently) was to try to obtain another (this being the 4th one...!!) "Omega" (B11B459/#98046) Phantom - one without "silvered" decals and broken and/or missing parts. Mesa came through for me here - with many thanks!! I finally got one that is about as perfect as you're gonna find that's still in "like new" condition!! Interestingly enough, this model was one of several Armour/FM 2003 "cancellations" - and appears ONLY on page 90 of the 2003 Armour/FM catalog. It never appears in any other official Armour/FM publication, at least that I can find. See attached photo scan of that particular page (enlarging the photo makes it look a whole lot better...!!).
(2) I recently picked up a pair of (#98057 - the "B11...." number escapes me at the moment) Armour British F-117 Stealth attack planes from Armour Addict - I was going to buy a third earlier from Mesa, but our clothes washing machine went kaput - big time, and so I had to come up with $500+ to make the little woman happy. If Mesa still has it, I may yet email him with an offer. It's a real attractive paint scheme, even if it never officially flew operationally.
(3) My #1 dealer down in San Diego, California informed me recently that while it is considered a normal production model, the B11E756 "Alcock & Brown" British FGR.2 (RAF) Phantom is now in very short supply (this according to an email memo sent to him from Armour) sooooooo, I ordered two of them & they should be here within the next day or two.
(4) At the same time, I ordered a pair of B11E754 "California Boomerang" F-86A Sabres from him as well. When I combine orders, he gives me great deals on shipping so I figured this might be as good a time as any to order them, since the photos of them looked great! - JY
