I was in the toy section of Wal-Mart tonight (looking for useable parts for my varsity design project) when I noticed a bunch of cool looking WW2 airplanes. For the hell of it I forked out $13 and bought a silver P51D Mustang. Although the model is not super-accurate and it's landing gear is tucked up, it has a stand and IMO is guite a good looking model for being sold in Wal-Mart (...you know what I mean...).
There was no indication of a scale on the box, but it's about the same size as a 1:400 747. (it's not one of those dumn looking airplanes with the huge wheels in a blister-pack, this one has a box with a window to view the model)
Anyways, just wanted to say that i'm impressed with my new Matchbox toy and i'll probably buy a few more. There's six in their series so check your local Wal-Mart out if you're into diversity.
Cheers
