Dolf Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Not really military modelling, as with this collection of 50 metal aircraft of the WWII the planes are already entirely made when bought, only have to glue a few pieces, such as the wheels, the guns, antenas, and some minor stuff, anyway I guess this would be the right place to post a few.Starting with the Polikarpov I-16 (USSR)Dolf

Dolf Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 And my favorite fighter ever, BF 109 (in this case a G-10) (Germany)Dolf
Dolf Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 Nice. What scale are they??Panzerman,I guess you missed the title of the thread Dolf
Jim Baker Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Panzerman,I guess you missed the title of the thread Dolf Dah..... I guess you would be right!! 1/72 is my favorite scale for military.
Dolf Posted February 15, 2006 Author Posted February 15, 2006 Dah..... I guess you would be right!! 1/72 is my favorite scale for military.Jim,Yes, a nice scale, and the one for which one can find almost everything for helping on dioramas, and probably with the largest variety of items to chose from. It's also a nice scale to stock stuff I just don't know where I'd stock 50 of these birds if they were on 1/32 scale Dolf
Bob Hunter Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Who makes these items and can you post a link to their website?
Dolf Posted February 16, 2006 Author Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) Who makes these items and can you post a link to their website?Bob,They are made by "Ediciones Altaya" in Spain, and distributed in different countries in Europe, as far as I know at least in France, Spain and Portugal.Here is the direct link for this particular collection, on their site in Spain:http://www.altaya.es/ficha.php?id=67&pagina=1#enlThey have many other collections and as I don't know if you can read Spanish that's why I'm directing you to the exact link to this "Combat Airplanes of WWII" collection.Right now here in Portugal #38 was released last week, so next week #39 (another USSR plane, Ilyushin Il-10) should be available. One new aircraft every two weeks, 9.99Euros each! That's pretty cheap if compared with similar aircrafts from other well known manufacturers. I have no idea if these are available in the US, anyway hope it helps,Dolf Edited February 16, 2006 by Dolf
Bob Hunter Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Thanks, Dolf. I appreciate your prompt response. I will look into their availability in the US.
