Just scored a Corgi 1/72 Ju-52/3m Ostfront '41 for 55$ shipped on a 2nd Chance offer. not my 1st choice, but I lost the bidding war on the Mine-sweeper I was going for from another seller. Edit: won my 2nd Corgi this morning, the Ju88A-5 5./KG30 Finland 41/42..which goes with my interest on the Finnish Front of the 2nd World War..I just need to get the He-111 H-6 Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey(This is the Luftwaffe unit seen in the Film Tali'44) for the last Finnish Front German Corgi.

Add to that:

Dragon Wings/Armour(1/72)
Fw 190A-3 Jabo 14./JG5 Eismeer Finland '43 16.00 Shipped
Bf 109G-2 JG52 18.00 Shipped
DX 08 StuG III Bodo Spranzs Ace 25.00 shipped
both 907 Brigade and 912 Brigade StuG IV(early) for 14.95ea(Italy and Kurland)
and I snagged a Bf 109G-6/R6(Supposed to be a "R6", but you know how Dragon lags on additional weapons esp for the Fw 190As..IEthe Fw190A-3 Jabo without a bomb or the Fw 190A missing outer wing cannon) 18.95

Prob going to pick up the excellent P-47M fighter-bomber that Dragon actually gave rockets and bomb to. And I am looking at the Korea F-51D with the underwing bombs at the moment.

Waiting for Easymodel's 2010 Panzers(IIIL,M,N and Pz IV H,J) and Sdkfz.9. If they are up to the standard of the T-34/76 I picked up they should be good.

Nice

Cool photos too. Did you use photoshop and blur the props to make them look that way? Or are they stock photos?

I might have to switch to 1/72.
I'm getting tired of waiting for someone to make any multi-engine planes in 1/32.

Those look like Tricatus' pics...

Great score! Especially on the Ju-52..

Do you know any information behind the ju88?
I thought this corgi model had a larger gun in the nose section.

I switched after I started to build my Italeri CR 42(Luftwaffe Night bomber kit) and picked up a Heller S35 for 5.99(Kit)

I found his site last night after looking all over the web for out of the box Corgi pics. For Dragon stuff, I go to the flying mule, since they have great out of the box pics of the armour and planes. But for Corgi you can't beat Tricatus's archive.

Today I did some window shopping and I couldn't find the Junker 52/3m for under 100 in stores, and normally it was 120-130ish. The Ju88 goes for 70-99 it seems. Combined I paided around 90 for both planes.

I still want the Anti-Shipping Ju88A-4 Lister/KG30(like the 2cm Cannon in the nose) and the upcoming Ju88C-6(although I'd like a Home Defense paint scheme over the Russian winter one) for sure. And maybe the Do 215B Aufklär(recon)

That's the other KG30(Lister 1943) an anti shipping model. It was a tosser to pick this one over that one. This one is 5./KG30, don't know much of the combat history of the unit. but the A-5 was a A-1 88 that was re-winged with a longer wingspan

Picked up a 32X "Devil Dogs" Corsair from an ebay seller today for $35 delivered. At nearly double what they retailed for at WM it's not a huge coup by any means, but considering the crazy prices that some of the less common 32X planes have been going for lately I'm quite pleased with the deal...

I saw that one. It was a good deal (I didn't bid on it 'cause I got one already

) considering the crazy prices and they hardly ever come up. Even less frequently than the "Big Hog" Corsair. Glad you scored it.

Finally got a "Black 1" FW-190D9 for $24, $34 delivered. Won just a few minutes ago. That's not a great deal, but the last one I bid on and lost went for $33 plus shipping, so a small victory. Luckily I was the only bidder. It's what they were going for at online retail (Small Joes) before they disappeared, and Aikens wants too much for them.

Now just one more FW-190D9 and I have them all.
