I found these at Hickam AFB one set-up was at the AAFES and the other at the Shopette. They had a Putt Putt Maru Lightning but I couldn't find it. They have one at our CGX, but no aircraft. Curious to check out MCAS Kaneohe and Schofield Barracks to see if they got some. Sorry about the picture quality.

From the website
www.HOTBBC.com it's just around the islands here. It gives a story about the pilots who flew these specific aircraft on the back. Didn't believe they were 21C's at first. I wonder what they'll do with them? They're bolted to the stand.

How do you tell if a dude is a model collector?
When they ogle at the planes and ignore the beer.

What's even more interesting is that the picture on the placard for the P-40 seems almost to have come from the back of the 21c box

Yeah, I didn't even pay attention to beer, the plane caught my eye, I thought they had some for sale then I looked down and saw beer. I was let down thinking they had some 1:18 aircraft for sale for some reason, they still have the 1:18 Bradleys on the shelves for sale.

Out of curiosity I went into the website that is on the 1st pic, thinking maybe they had some XD to sell or some hot brit journalist
www.hotbbc.com
Turns out its the beverage company that is selling the beer.
I have to say its a unique company honouring the military, with lovely packaging that's retro military themed, looks nicely collectable like Coca Cola bottles
Have a look around in their website

That is very cool. I have found this from Old Dominion Brewery in Dover, Delaware. I had to buy a pint bottle to add to my display.

They have another called Morning Glory that has P-51 in the background.
you can find it on their website.

Very cool.
Don't they have to check with TKO's graphics company, if they haven't already?
I do believe they did the original artwork for the Pearl P-40's at least.
