Re: Latest FM acquisition
Here's another one I recently bought:

B11B299 ME262 A LUFTWAFFE KDR III./EJG 2 "RED 13" OBERSTLT. HEINZ "PRITZL" BÄR 221 VICTORIES

I didn't mount the drop tanks since they look silly on the model.

Re: Latest FM acquisition
Good idea -- (and it sure does look cold up North... brrr......nice "Spring" -- and I'm from NH so I know a little about cold).

Latest FM acquistions:



P-47D "Testa Indiano" (this one's getting somewhat harder to find, found it from an online dealer).
P-38 Itsy Bitsy II, Ebay
P-38 French Recon "Exupery" -- Ebay, for peanuts...
Mosquito "Barber Pole" -- Ebay, for peanuts...(good thing, too bit of a Friday Afternoon Special and the mold feels pretty cheap compared with other FM models).
Spitfire "Tally Hello" -- Ebay, for peanuts.... yes, I like noseart... here's one Corgi should have done in its series.

That P-47 and Spitfire look very good!

Re: Latest FM acquisition
The Thunderbolts, Me262s and Stukas from Franklin Mint are, in my opinion, very good pieces of diecast and well worth having in any 1/48 collection .

Re: Latest FM acquisition
Me 262 addition looks great. Looks like you have a few good looking Me 262s.

Nice one. Don't have any Hellcat yet. I'm just curious, what is that probe on the wing?

Pappy... does this one have any water-slide decals? I had after market decals (long ago) for this livery. I was going to build up a Tamiya kit in this livery, but never got around to it, sold the kit and the decals. Anyway... is the nose art pad printed?

I'm pretty sure it is a radar dome.

Yep it's a radar equipped Hellcat.
