Oh yes!! I have the F-4, MiG-17, FW-190D, and the P-51D. They also made an A-10 and a C-130(?). The tanks were pretty cool too.

I can't remember the name that they were marketed under. If you're looking, you might PM Coreyeagle. I think he had some of these to sell.

My children have following items: A-10, MiG-19, FW-190D, Jeep, a boat with a little harbor and some soldiers in two uniform types: green WW2 US-soldiers and dark grey(!) contemporary US-soldiers, which probably should play a role of Germans. The only inscriptions on the planes are: "1997" or "1998" and the abbreviation "GTI". If I good remember they were made in Israel, but I'm not sure. Very good toys. Extremely resistant plastic (if you compare with e.g. New Ray models in the same scale). The boys still play with them.

Yeah - I had a bunch of those as well. They were made around 1997, shortly before Galoob went under and became part of Hasbro. The line was called Battle Squads. It was sort of a less-detailed military addition to their successful "Action Fleet" line. The line in general offered a diverse selection of WWII, Vietnam and Modern era aircraft and vehicles.

I had the P-51, FW-190D, Mig-19, F-4, Apache helicopter, and the massive AC-130 gunship/transport. I also got the figures and some of the smaller ground vehicles, like the Jeep, Kubelwagon, and Ferret armored car. My brother collected some of the tanks, which alothough overscaled to the figures, didn't look too bad. There were also some cool little playsets with bunkers and small buildings and a SEAL raft.

I was jazzed with the WWII planes when they came out as who would have thought you could make a scale plane with opening cockpit, retractable gears insertable figure and removable ordinance? My how the game has changed... My biggest beef with some of the planes were the oversized missile launchers, but the pieces were designed more as toys than models. They were some of the best for their time outside of the more professional offerings.

Here's a link to an ebay search result for these items. There's a number of auctions, many with pictures. They used to all be up on the Galoob website, with nice closeups and everything, but that site is long gone.

There are not pictures of everything that was in the collection, but the auction pictures do give one an idea of what was offered

I have the 190, the C-130 Warbird and a few of the combat packs. C-130 is a little rough but everything else is alright. It does want a new owner!

PM me if interested, cut you a good price to get them out of my sight, LOL
