If I only had a big enough back and /or front yard, I'd get me a Spitfire or two on a pedestal. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! :lol:
Be careful placing one of these in your yard: there still are some Messerschmitts flying out there... :twisted:

Pffft.... If I had a choice, I'd do one with a P-51 being chased by a 109 between a couple of trees. Kinda like the P-51 chased by a 109 under the Eiffel Tower. :lol:

I sent out an inquiry today out of curiousity on how much it would cost in U.S. dollars if I were to order one. Should be interesting to hear. No doubt it will be in the 5 or 6 figure ballpark.

Want a WW2 German tank? Go here:

Replicas starting at $130,000 and upwards to $550.000 depending on what you want.

I want the Jagdtiger. It'll look nice in my driveway. :lol:

I got a quote on how much the Spitfire replica would set me back. Believe it or not - $46,000 not including shipping. Sent a quote on that as well for the heck of it. BTW - they only do Spitfires and Hurricanes.
