The other thread in The Pub inspired me to start this one. I thought It could be a good idea to share pictures of our new FM acquisitions. So here we go:

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.

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.

Okay, this potentially could take a while so I'll just stick to the latest addition.

B11B405 P-47D Thunderbolt Armee De L"Aire GC 11/5 "Lafayette" Amberieu - France 1944 WWII. Limited French Market Release

That is a cool looking T-bolt... much better than the standard french version release.

Yeah, that's why I got it in the first place. It's retired hence rare and really a looker!

I am just expanding into T-bolts. This is number 3 and about 3 or so more incoming.

The T-bolts are nice... I'd still love to find Tarheel Hal and NGNG -- but not at the aftermarket premiums... a local hobby shop had both of these last year and I passed on 'em. Oh, and Norma, too.

Yeah, I have Bloom's tomb, RAF Burma, the Frenchie shown above and incoming are the newer French E096, Angie and the old CDC RAF T-bolt.

I'll keep my eyes open for the ones you are looking for...
