Beautiful models. Where can I buy these models? What is the price range? Thanks, Ken

The bigguns are very cool but at that scale display pace can become a challenge.

[Stogieman]

Nice models with some very nice detail. Thanks!

[paddywhack]

i got these in a model shop the 109 was dear it was 139 euros but the p51 was 79 and yeah its a pain displaying them as they are so big but they rock!!!

paddywhack,

Outstanding!!!

I have to find that Erich Hatmann's bird!

So you can do all that, open and close the cockpit, put up and down the wheels, have the access to the engine open or close?!... Boy, that looks great!

Both the 109 and the P 51 come from the same manufacturer? A big difference on the price!

Thanks for posting these beauties!

Yes, Sir

By the way, here is a picture of Oberst Erich Hartmann, wearing some German Award (not my field but it seems to be a Knight Cross with Oak Leaves?!... Please correct me if I'm saying anything possibly absurd ).

Cheers,

But of course could not miss the opportunity to post a pic of another well known pilot, General Adolf Galland.
