Century Wings SR-71:
Aircraft #61-7962 first flew on April 29th, 1966 and was delivered to the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing at Beale AFB, California a few weeks later. The aircraft spent much of the 1980s stationed with Detachment 1 in Kadena, Japan and it was during this period that the "Skull and Crossbones" tail-art was applied. On January 21st, 1990, #962 departed Kadena for the last time, bound for the US, marking the end of SR-71 operations in Japan. The aircraft is currently on display at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, England - the sole SR-71 on display outside of the continental United States.

Hobby Master:
Today's Hobby Master announcement has some serious gems! From a 1/48 scale Boeing F4B-3 to a Douglas A-26B Invader and "Spirit of America," the first operation-ready F-22 Raptor, we have a wide range of models spanning multiple 20th century military engagements. The real centerpiece, however, is a beautiful, 1/48 scale F4U-1D with a display stand signed by 7-victory ace Lt. Dean Caswell, the World's last surviving Corsair ace! Lt. Caswell is an American hero, and this replica is a fitting tribute to his services in the Pacific.
