Does anyone else have one of these? Looks like it was released around 2000. I picked one up on ebay and it got here today. Very nice. Must be around 1:32. Wings and most of the fuselage are heavy diecast. It's actually a coin bank but displays well anyway. Gear are not retractable.

I bought one after they came out, pretty nice indeed. It's scale is closer to about 1/40. Their Hellcat, Wildcat, and Tigercat are pretty cool too.

I got one of the Corsair banks of all places, Hallmark. They had a tent sale last summer and found this and bronze GI Joe "D-Day First Wave" statue of a soldier with tommy gun in hand running in the water with bullets and splashes all around. Very cool.

I like the Corsair bank, but am wanting to sell or trade it, as the scale doesn't fit in with my other stuff. But a really cool piece none the less.

Yikes, it is about 1:40, isn't it! But I still like it, even though I'm mostly interested in 1:18. It just has a nice heft to it.
