Talking Wildcats collection

Here is my collection of Franklin Mint/ Armour 1:48 diecast aircraft. I love these things, expensive though...
I'll start off with my RNZAF Corsair

It appears that diecast aircraft series can be also very interesting.Nice collection Wildcat.I like the Stuka the most.

BTW. There has been available diecast WW2 fighter serie in Poland, some of them looked really nice.That's a pity I haven't had any pics of these.

Sorry Heinz I forgot to reply, yeah the Mossie is 1:48 and weighs a ton! all my models are 1:48 which is the scale I prefer.
I do own 2 corgi models but I don't like them as much so I stick with the Franklin Mint collection.
More pics soon.

Why were the -47s .50s labeled? I understand the need to number them, but why the label on the wing?
