These are some of the best diecast aircraft models i`ve seen and although they are not making anymore, the company still goes on with there cars and such.

I love their 48th scale airplanes. I have them all. I guess my favorite is their F4F Wildcat. Great looking models.

All of em?

I like the 109`s and 190`s the most. I am really interested in Udet`s Red 109...something about that one i really like. Could you post a pic of that one if you have it,or any C1`s if you can?

I have all of their 190's, P-40's and most of their 109's (Passed on the Red Udet plane), and I have the Foss Wildcat. I also have multiple of the 190s and 109s for repaints.

Didn't have any before,as 1/48 was not my scale of choice.
But with the clearance sale I picked up all three Me 109's[passed on the red Udet],all three Fw 190's and a P-40.
When the arrived I was very impressed,and ordered another two P-40's,and two F-4 Wildcats.Spent over $100,so got a free Century Wings F-8 Crusader thrown in!

If you like 1/48 scale,these aircraft are a great deal at the clearout prices.$39.99.

Why do you think that Udet 109 is all red? I think since its from 1937 before WWII it has something to do with a kind of tribute to Manfred Von Richthofen...just my take!

IIRC, The Udet 109 was an air racer.

Thinking about picking up the Carousel 1 AVG P-40....anyone have a review on this?

snake · Post by **snake** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 11:26 pm

Any of these Carousel planes are a fantastic deal at $39.99.
Get them while they are still available.
American Grenadier will agree with me on this.

Have been eyeing em for a while now, are they as good as FM or Corgi?

The Carousel one planes are better than Franklin Mint and I think they are better than Corgis planes, although Corgi doesn't offer 1/48 planes.

You have been "eying them" for too long!
The best deals were a month ago.
$39.99 for any plane.

Historic Aviation still has some doras for 35.
