We’re pleased to announce a new line of diecast combat aircraft known as Militaria Diecast. Produced by the same company that gave us the Warbirds of World War II series of military aircraft, Militaria Diecast will move the ball forward, so-to-speak, and examines some of the most iconic fighters arising in the aftermath of World War II. Three models are being offered at inception although we have decided to stock only two. The third, a Portuguese A-7 Corsair, has limited appeal here in North America, but if they decide to do a US version we will readily add it to our product roster.
Based upon the pictures provided, it doesn’t appear as if the series will come with pilot figures although each of the aircraft can be posed in-flight on a display stand or on a set of tricycle landing gear. Lastly, the outer cases are very reminiscent of the type that accompanies the Warbirds of World II line, complete with a sturdy five-panel box, clamshell packaging and clear interior viewing pane so collectors can see the model without having to take it out of the box and possibly risk losing some of the parts.
No price has yet to be established for each of the new aircraft and a ship date is probably pegged for early spring, although no definite date has been set. For more information on this new 1:72 scale range, click the following link or either of the images shown above.
