DeAgostini Sends Four More Warbirds Aloft

Frankly, we’ve been surprised by the success of DeAgostini’s 1:72 scale WWII-era Military Aircraft series, a line of fighters that comes attractively packaged in Japanese-only marketing material. Its a bit difficult to talk up a range when we’re not even sure what the text both inside and outside the box says, although we’re pretty confident collectors aren’t purchasing the line just for the prose. Nevertheless, the models continue to sell extremely well, and we’ve had to re-order several of the models numerous times to maintain inventory. That said, four more fighters are expected to arrive in July, along with yet another restock of models that have been out-of-stock for several weeks running. Here’s what you can add to the DeAgostini stable in just a week’s time:

#DAWF07 – Imperial Japanese Army Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate “Frank” Fighter [With Collector Magazine] (1:72 Scale)

#DAWF16 – US Navy Chance-Vought F4U-1A Corsair Fighter – Ira Kepford, VF-17 “Jolly Rogers”, Bougainville, Solomon Islands, 1944 [With Collector Magazine] (1:72 Scale)

#DAWF25 – Imperial Japanese Army Nakajima Ki-44-II Shoki (Tojo) Fighter – 3rd Chutai, 47th Hiko Sentai, Narimasu Airfield, Japan, 1944 [With Collector Magazine] (1:72 Scale)

#DAWF35 – RAF Hawker Typhoon Mk. Ib Ground Attack Aircraft – No.198 Squadron, Battle of the Faiaise Pocket, France, 1944 [With Collector Magazine] (1:72 Scale)
