XD Found!

I haven't posted here in years but last week I took a trip to memory lane.
I went to a swap meet where I look for antiques and old woodworking tools and my jaw dropped when I found a Flying Tigers P-40 NIB. It must have changed hands a few times as the box is a little beat up but I was able to buy it for $30. I already have one on display and I still have the mounds of 21C stuff from the Wal Mart clearance sales and my gorging during the Monkey Depot sell off but I couldn't help it. Took me back to the time when the "Thrill of the Hunt" ruled and I could not wait to get my next fix.
As a side note to this I was in Vegas over the weekend and on Freemont street there is a vintage toy store that is billed as "As seen on Pawn Stars" as their go-to Toy expert. With the exception of a 1/6 German cycle with sidecar and a FOV 1/32 Matilda and F-14 he had nothing we love. Obviously tastes are poor in Vegas...
Anyway, had to share my find. Best to all!
