The P-38 and P-51 look fantastic Clark-all we get down my way are very ropey brass Spitfires.

Clark and Grant, do you allow smoking guess to put ashes in there?

 

[Clark J]

That's a great piece Grant!!!Didn't you get that at flea market?

 

[TankBuster]

I like it. Throw a couple orginal officers club matchbooks in the tray along with a WW2 crackle zippo and you'll have a real nice display!!

Here's a nice Spit!

thanks Clark,
Your P-38 is pretty cool as well.
Yeah, got it at the Long Beach flea a couple years ago for $25. Lockheed's factory used to be in Burbank so it probably wasn't far from where it was made.

I have a brass C130 that I was presented with by the sgts mess when I left.

I used to collect those a long time ago. I had a couple of aircraft made from brass ala trench art. I like those a lot better.

Here's some I have, I also like to use the unmounted ones as paperweights. I love the pure forms.I have two of the mounted Spits- exactly the same and aparently made in Italy, the rest are all locally made and i'm sure the brass P-38 was intended to have been finished as the one on the map (interestingly dated '49).
