If your sitting on the fence about that one plane...
Well better late than never...(as never is looking closer more and more )...just picked up the 1/18 aircraft I had always said "I'll get em later"....and must say I don't know why I waited so long...Just got a PERFECT 21st "Big Beautiful Doll", "Old Crow" "Lucybelle" Corsair, BBI Hellcat, and Sakai Zero....Thanks to Sally and Dave at Aiken's Airplanes for taking the time to look over the paint jobs and picking a good one from the litter!

Congratulations! I hear ya too! I still need 2 21st planes to complete the collection - unfortunately they are a Spitfire and P-47 bubbletop and they are both fetching extreme prices right now.
How do you like Sally's candy treats? It's a nice touch - they've always been my favorite etailer in terms of customer service. Smalljoes is another of my favorite.

YOXFORD,

It looks you missed the Wonderful Wal-Mart clearance sales and the Magnificent Monkey Depot clearance sales.
I search old SSHQ posts and see what 1/18 models were cleared out for years ago ($15-$25) and now they're going for $100--$300 each. :roll:
