Corgi Toys Releases Die-Cast Model of 95th BG B-17


Corgi, a British company that makes die-cast collectable models of all types of vehicles, including aircraft, has released a new die-cast of a B-17F "Zoot Suiters" from the 95th Bomb Group. It must be pretty nice, because it sells for nearly $200.00.
Here's the info on this model:

Looks good. I like their models. I bought a Mosquito not long ago. It was in the markings of 109Sqn RAF, my dad's unit.

I like them, too. Very detailed. I also like Matchbox's series--very similar.
Also, my prize model was given to me by a man who flew on B-29's. Check this story on my blog out to see it:

I went ahead and ordered this from eBay. I got it for $49.95, which is a heck of a deal.
Can't wait to see it.
