XL, what a great find! I love looking at those planes, and saw a number of my favorites in my brief skimming of the site, like the Douglas Globemaster (I remember having a big plastic toy of one when I was little -- the nose hinged upward!) the KC97 Stratotanker and the B50 Stratofortress, the B36 Peacemaker, and the wonderful B58 Hustler, to name a few. I even saw some of my favorite "little guys", like the P38 Lightning and the de Havilland Mosquito! (I've still got to search for my favorite, the Corsair, and am hoping for a P-26 Peashooter.)

Thanks for this link; it's a great one!

Thanks guys, I'm glad you liked it.

[timmy]

Ha! The P-26 Peashooter is in 013 - The Early Years -- it's turquoise and yellow. There's a Martin B10 in the background!

Nice one xl_target, off topic but are you planning to buy a Garand from CMP? I heard they are getting a fresh shipment from Asia.

[xl_target]

Priyan,
Garand prices are currently verging on the ridiculous. If the Korean Garands drop existing prices, I might be interested.

At present , I'm really not interested, still working on getting the FAL. I don't think these will come through CMP. Only US Govt property (like arms lent to other nations and then returned) is sold through the CMP. The Koreans are claiming that they bought these Garands outright so apparently these will be imported and sold through dealers.

Also you have to be a US citizen to buy from the CMP.

[Priyan]

CMP prices are only raising
Also few of my friends bought Field grade Garands from from CMP and the condition of those are par with rack grade ones.
Speaking of getting a FAL, are you looking for a genuine one or a kit rifle? DS Arms builds are nice I heard. Also they are metric so mags are easier to find.
