All in 1:48, all from Flying Mule.

Franklin Mint:
Dauntless
Eastern Front Stuka
Corsair
Zero
Bf109F
Hurricane
P-47D

Carosel:
F4F3 (pre-war colors)
F4F3 (Butch O'Hare)
Bf109E
Tomahawk IIB

Hobby Masters

I've only gotten them out of the shipping boxes, they're still in the display boxes but they look great. The only negative so far is the yellow paint on the cowling of the 109E looks thin.

Nice haul, zzzipper.

My Carousel Me 109E "Galland" also has the thin yellow paint.From what I understand,they all do.

The reason for this is supposedly that it was meant to simulate the painting of the nose in the field.Not a factory fresh finish.I have almost all the Carousel models,and the paint on them is excellent.I have to believe that this was entirely intentional by Carousel.

So,not to worry.Yours is the same as the rest of the "Galland" 109's.

I would highly recommend the Carousel FW 190's.Particularly "Yellow 10".The FW 190's are the best models done by Carousel.

Thanks snake, that's good to know about the Galland paint. Makes sense too. I'm actually pleased with the quality of everything so far, even the Franklin Mints, which I wasn't too sure about when I ordered them.

I have the Carosel 190Ds on order.

Today came an HM FW-190A, an FM P-51D (Glenn Eagleston), and a Carosel FW-190D (Barkhorn). Now I have 17 airplanes and two tanks sitting on my floor and nowhere to put them. And more on the way.
