So, someone at F-Toys has a sense of humour with this "Thunderbolt vs Thunderbolt" collection!?

Interestingly on of the P-47s is in UN colours - representing the Korean War period?

This will undoubtably follow the usual formal or the delcared items, plus some colour specials and lottery decals...

1/144 Cessna TO-1O / L-10 / O-1 by Miniwings





1/144 Cessna TO-1O / L-10 / O-1 by Miniwings
The Cessna L-19/O-1 Bird Dog was a liaison and observation aircraft. It was the first all-metal fixed-wing aircraft ordered for and by the United States Army since the U.S. Army Air Force separated from the Army in 1947, becoming its own branch of service, the United States Air Force. 

The Bird Dog had a lengthy career in the U.S. military, as well as in other countries.

This is the first in a range of all plastic injection kit and features a new packaging design, another advantage of the plastic kits are that they are cheaper than the resin kit.
This is a get set of kits with the plastic being very smooth and of a high quality, with fine detailing. Additionally, as its cast in clear plastic the glazing will fit perfectly (masks are provided for painting)

1/144 Attacker Bomber Collection - F-Toys
A 'new' release from F-Toys, incorporating some WWII Japanese favourites with "new tooling" and strangely a  Korean War Era aircraft in US and French markings, resulting in a strange mix of aircraft.

Its not clear how this set is arrived at even by recent standards, why they didn't do a complete full house of Japanese items for the domestic market, or go for a more varied set of twin engined attacking aircraft/medium bombers we shall never know!?

Mitsubishi Ki-67 "Hiryū "/"Peggy")
