All Aluminum Air Force

Since it has markings for the 50th Anniversary of the BOB and 1990 engraved on the bottom, I'm assuming it was of recent manufacture.

What-no aluminum B-29? I'll trade you a B-29 for one of your B-17's!

Tom,

I noticed one of the planes in your collection appears to be an early model P-40 with no prop spinner and no canopy. Can you tell me anything about this particular model? It wasn't an actual Curtiss factory model, was it?

I too love the all aluminum models and have many.....here are a few. I also have duplicates of some of my models...if interested let me know and I will get a list together for you guys.

very nice, rare, well built models, and the same stand could indicate the same maker. Any idea who and where and when?
As they appear to all carry the Italian Air Force markings, that would be a hint.

All are FOM (Fomaer or Foma Aero)models from Italy the research I've been able to do indicates the company went out of business in the early "70s. I have a collection of approx 80 individual models.

I like the focus of all alu models and especially with all of them from the same manufacturer.
Any way to show all 80 models together?
