Tanks and Aircraft of WWII in scale

Post by Saxondog »

Guys tomorrow I shall be shooting the photos of the Aircraft collection from Mid south Hobbies and my Torro KT.

Some very fine 1/18 SCALE MODELS which they have agreed to allow me to use in a series of photos with the King Tiger. At one time they had well over 50 hanging in their shop. Many have sold but the remaining ones will be pretty cool displayed with the KT.

Started taking them down today and preparing for tomorrow. Here are a few pictures of some of them,The Night Fighter ME262 is super detailed and several of the Stuka's are very detailed as well. FW190,ME109,P47,P-48,ME109,Yet the British SPITEFIRE,AND HURRICANE are all gone.Sold to one collector. Well a few shots below.

This demonstrates a pretty good idea of the size of some of these aircraft compared to our tanks. Lucky for the Allies the ME-262 was not given more focus as an interceptor sooner. Just an amazing aircraft considering the conditions and the technology of it's development. I'll try and compare the P=47 as well that aircraft is a monster, truly huge plane. Had to be a terrible feeling having that Giants screaming at you ,from above and at 300+ knots insane nerves the tankers must have had.

Jnewboy, excellent video, really skilled builds. Far beyond my ability. These I am showing are not my work, just envious of them. Thanks for sharing. Some really neat builds mate.
