As 2013 continues to grind forward, we’ve learned that Oxford Diecast will be expanding its line of 1:72 scale budget-priced aircraft this summer. Several repaints will be offered, but more importantly a number of new aircraft will join the fray, including a Japanese Nakajima Ki-43 “Oscar” fighter (#OXFAC039). Also in development is a German Henschel Hs 123A dive-bomber, a biplane that saw service in WWII well beyond its intended service life (#OXFAC040). Although the pre-order window has now opened for these and other new entries, keep in mind they aren’t expected until June, at the earliest.

Oxford Obtains its Flying License
We’re thrilled to have received Oxford Aviation’s latest batch of time travelers from its History of Flight collection. Of note is this 1:72 scale reproduction of King Edward VIII’s De Havilland Rapide (#OXDR002), making him the first monarch to become a qualified pilot.
Also available is a Brooklands Aviation De Havilland Tiger Moth biplane (#OXTM002), making it a wonderful addition to any early aviation pioneer collection. Packed in a handsome presentation case and priced at only $39.99, the History of Flight collection has become an important part of our aviation lineup.
Oxford Aviation Fires Up its First Jet
Making its first appearance at the tail end of WWII, the Gloster Meteor was immediately pressed into service as a means of defeating the Third Reich’s V-1 onslaught. Now, Oxford Aviation has replicated this marvelous aircraft, which comes complete with a bonus 1:72 scale V-1 Doodlebug, all for the low, low price of just $19.99 (#OXFAC031). A better bargain can’t be had anywhere on the net!
