For December we have a new 1/72 Douglas A-26 Invader!!!! This is a new for diecast collectors. Next we have to celebrate the Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney in the form of a P-51D Cripes a Mighty in 1/48 and in 1/72 an F-22 with a dash of colour also called Cripes a Mighty.
The pilot of Cripes, Major George Preddy, was a leading US ace prior to being shot down and killed of the 25th December 1944 while he was on the tail of an Fw-190 (if I recall correctly). He was a victim of friendly fire, being shot down by American quad .50s.
There's also a Greek F-102, two MiG 15 in two different Chinese / Taiwanese schemes and an Australian A-4.
