Sorry about the white text. This site automatically defaults text colors to white instead of black due to the overall black background. I'm still figuring out how easily override all the text colors.

Diecast Warbird Collector News at www.DiecastAirplane.com New Preorder Items due Summer/Fall 2011 We are thrilled to bring this new range of 1/72 scale, limited edition, die cast warplane models to North America. Aviation 72 is a great addition to the growing universe of die cast airplane models and further evidence that our hobby is truly vital and flourishing – the expansion of choices is good for your customers and good for you, too, as it provides more variety, more opportunities, and more interest for collectors of all types.   Aviation 72 products, which replicate aircraft ranging from World War II’s Tiger Moth primary trainer (in which so many of “The Few” who won the Battle of Britain learned to fly) to Saab’s advanced, delta-winged Draken and Viggen Cold War-era jet fighters, are available for pre-order now and will begin shipping this summer. Perfectly compatible with existing die cast warbird collections yet made up of previously unavailable, “exotic” European aircraft types, this line – which is fully-featured with opening cockpits, optional-position landing gear and display stands – will be a wonderful resource for seasoned collectors and for new collectors alike. Plus from Falcon Models the first-ever, 1/72 scale, die cast model of an F-86D. This is a wonderful re-creation of the original, right down to the distinctive profile and nose radome.
