These catalogs come in all the time, and I can't remember if i posted each aircraft or not. But here's a bunch all on one page, pricey and out of my league but look to be top-notch in quality:

Not sure if I posted this before, but another catalog in the mail today of a model maker with some scale MV's: https://fairfieldcollectibles.com/cannons-amp-tanks.html?cat=1258&p=2

This came in the mail: - A 1/16 scale radio-controlled German Tiger I, capable of firing BB's. How crazy is that?! http://www.militaryissue.com/Tiger-I-Late-Version-Ausf-E-1_16-R_C-Model/productinfo/101692/

The vid is only 6-7 minutes. Check it out: https://youtu.be/e60irE1YbO4

The vid is short (under two minutes), and admittedly kind of dramatized over-the-top by the soundtrack. But if you tone down the volume (or even shut it off), this is some footage of an impressive Panzer prototype that I'm guessing never went beyond prototype. And I'm also guessing it was...

My old man told me about seeing one of these toward the very end of WWII. He was forward observer for a battery of 8" Howitzers, and by that time his unit was well within Germany (they entered through Aachen). He said it was flying low, alone, by itself, and no particular threat to him at the...

Found inside some junk mail catalog, and funny because it was like a salt-and-pepper shakers catalog or something. The scale wasn't noted, ad it's pricey, but the quality appears real good. http://www.florenceandgeorge.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=p51+mustang

This is short; only 3-4 minutes. Toy Boat. Just try saying that three times, fast. https://youtu.be/G2-b2_9J7s0

I just flipped through all of today's posts and didn't see anything about this there, so here it is here: - It sounds like a winner! http://www.ww2airpowerexpo.org/

Another catalog in the mail today: - "Military Issue" claims that it's a re-issue of a previously discontinued model. http://www.militaryissue.com/M35A2-Cargo-Truck-1_35-Kit/productinfo/0093882

I couldn't find a post about this by anybody yet, and just ran across this vid on YouTube. I figured I'd post it here: - She sure is a Beauty. https://youtu.be/CscShi3BV8Q

Another catalog through the door. The Deutsche Optik product is typically real good quality. I guess I'll cross reference to one of the Blackbird threads, too. Somebody there might be interested: http://deutscheoptik.com/Scale-Models/Lockheed-SR71-BlackBird.html Shoot. I can't figure out...

Another catalog in the mail. And this one has some really remarkable items (and unfortunately some are kind of pricey, but you get what you pay for most likely). The link below, and also check out this UK sub that sported a 12" gun fired from the conning tower; first I ever heard of this ship...

Another catalog over the threshold here: - Check out this all-aluminum Supermarine Spitfire It's some kind of pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for, http://www.russellsformen.com/product.asp?pn=ASA-AP456

I got another catalog in the mail. The operation is called Lilliput, out of Yerington NV. They source a lot of top-shelf product out of Eastern Europe. For anybody interested, here are the two pages of MV-related items:

Searched YouTube for a PT Boat running wide-open (Twin Packard V-12's): - This is the best I could come up with: - Beggars can't be choosers. I'll take what I can get! http://youtu.be/xcE4x1SAyOg

Another catalog in the mail: - Thought this might interest somebody. - Good quality from all appearances. - And claims to be from re-cycled aircraft aluminum. Used to be into the scale models; not anymore: more now into getting rid of stuff instead of collecting it. But I recognize the spark...

Hannah Reitsch was one of Germany's go-to test pilots during the war years of WWII. The aircraft she flew attest to her status as a trusted aviator. The odds of being remembered by history were stacked against her, both as a woman and also as an avowed member of the Nazi Party. Among some of...

Can't find it to save my hide: - Searched "Loud"+"Turn Indicator"+"Turn Indicators" (because search engines got their limitations) - And scrolled through 7 pages of Threads, but no readily evident "hit" - Pretty sure I read this detail once here in some thread somewhere Anybody maybe recall...
