I'll need to find it...it's in a box somewhere here (rustle rustle). But it looks just like the card back I posted. For the price ($3) is well worth adding to the collection.
...as requested!

The dive bomber looks as though it has a polished natural metal fuselage:

Lets see, those babies run on about $75-120 average a pop so that makes....oopps I thought we were taking about Dinkys.
Still, incredible collection my man.


Yes!! It's incredible. Very good! I have about 1100 planes that I've collect since I had 6y.o to now that I'm near 30 (real, I'm not lying) Most of them are F-117 (about 24 of them!!! :shock: ) and I'm peruvian. And for peruvians is very difficult to do that, I think. Most of that planes and copters are plastic, some are a bit poor, some good and a bit were very expensive. But as MichaelB said here, I don't mind if they are expensive or not. As him, I LUV them all and when I lost some of them (In home movings bassically) I felt very sad. :cry: I lost about 5-6 planes. But I recovered some planes adding new novelties of that model. (Example: One F-4E lost. I buyed a new F-4E, one A-10 lost, I buy a new A-10). But that cost me lots of time, and money (to my parents) and now, to me. I must be very pattient to still collecting.

Maybe I'm in 3rd place in the world's greatest miniature warbird collection. Under MichaelB and the another friend in this forum. ;)

Precious model! I have the Skybuster's P-47D or N too, but in the black/yellow color scheme and the nose "checkerboard" in yellow and black. That checkerboard catched my attention and I buyed the model. (That was expensive :o , but it's very useful ;) )

Cirrus Vision

Postby Tone » Fri Jul 29, 2011 10:16 pm

I found a photo in an old book I have of a 1958 Miles design quite similar in layout to a Cirrus Vision. The tail is not a V tail however; it is two fins instead.

Will the fork-tailed doctor killer please clear the runway for the McDonnell-220?
