Diecast model?

My dad was in the 351st during WWII, and I'm looking for a diecast model for my youngest grandson. Has anyone seen one? I've found several on eBay, but none that are specific to the 351st. If none exist, I'd like to get the most accurate possible.

Try this link, I've purchased several models from them and have been satisfied with their service.  Select the WW II link on the left side of the page and see if they have anything that interests you.

I have just approved a custom made mahogany model of the B-17G my brother was in on his last mission.  They were able to put the serial number, BG insignia and name on the plane.  It takes a little time but, I feel it is well worth it.  They send photos for approval before shipping or final payment.
 
Try Rick Diaz at www.customairmodels.com.  The models are made in the USA.  Rick has communicated well.

Another great source is factory direct models.  They reproduce your model to the "nth" degree.  They have an archivist on staff that is extremely helpful.  I am in the process of completing my dad's B-17F.  i am so happy with the process that I intend to do his B-29 next.

If you have not had any success, I had a hand made mohagany  custom model made of my brother's B-17G this year.  I feel the workmanship was excellent and they put on the group ID markings, the serial number, anti-glare painting & the planes name (there was no 'nose art' only script).  Depending on the scale (size) the prices varied from $76 to $212 including shipping.
It takes a little longer & I feel the personalized is worth the wait.
