Hi folks,

I just thought some of you might be interested in seeing my collection of 6mm WW2 aircraft over on my dakka showcase thread.

Here's the link.

Thanks for looking.

for anyone who's interested there's now both RAF and Luftwaffe planes on display.



thanks for looking.

Great gallery! Thanks for sharing.

I would love to read some Check Your 6 battle reports as well.

I'd love to write one up!
Truth is I so rarely get a chance to play it that you might be waiting for one for a while. But when I can I will.

Lots more tiny planes to see since I last bumped this add.


Now added a whole lot of USAAF and a few others from around the world. Some Japanese, a few Italians and Soviets.

I've got a few more Russians and even some French on the way so keep an eye out on the above link for more coming soon.

Just a quick update for WWII aircraft fans.

The massed air power of the Soviet war machine has taken to the skies!

Thanks for looking.

Very cool,thx for sharing.

Hi folks,
Excited to announce I've uploaded my latest batch of aircraft.

A lot of French Fancies.

Where did you get the building in this picture?
They would be great for 1/285th scale HASL

Hoe Lee Crap.

I just went through all 7 pages in your gallery. Those are FANTASTIC. I mean really. The insignias, stripes checkers. Jimney Christmas! I want to be your friend so I can play with your bejeweled items of wonder. Are you a pro? Are they for wings of Glory?
Sheesh. Amazeballs. 10/10. Whole gallery.

Sorry buddy, I carved that one from a block of balsa. Its based on the Vickers Factory at Brooklands.

Thanks Dok. High praise indeed and very kind. Unfortunately I'm not a pro. I work in an insurance office and paint my tiny planes on my breaks. It keeps me sane though they all think I'm like the warbird man of Alkatraz.

I'd be using them for Check Your 6! If I ever had a chance to play. At least that's how I got started. At this point though I'm just collecting for the sake of it. I'm glad to see other people are enjoying the collection too.

Been investigating British bi-planes of WW2 over on my aircraft gallery.


For lots more info and pics follow the link above and enjoy.
Thanks for looking.

Just a quick note that my first batch of Italians have landed.

Even more Regia Aeronautica have now taken to the skies!

Those are some beautiful models !

Back with another blast of vintage air nostalgia for you.


Going all 1930s for some early Chinese Air Force including the beautiful little Curtiss Goshawk.

Great stuff. You are starting to get really obscure now! Love it!

Thanks for looking Easy E.
I know, there's certainly more planes in my collection I'd never heard of before than ones I could've named a few years ago.
That said there are a few massive omissions, a B-24 Liberator for instance! And my Japanese contingent is pittiful.

Still, I'm keen as ever to expand my collection and there seems no end to the possibilities. I'll keep the planes and the history snippets coming as long as you're all interested.

Took a trip to Finland with my WW2 air obsession.

Link in the signature for the full gallery.

The history of Finland's war(s) was fascinating to look into. And a nice range of aircraft to paint up too.

Back once again with a selection of planes that carried the various V.I.P's of World War 2 around the world.

Once again, the link to the full thread with all the pictures and brief histories is in my signature below or at the top of this thread in the first post.
Thanks for looking.

Tante Ju!

Nice!

Celebrating all things that fly and float over on my WW2 air gallery starting with a look at the allies. Link in the OP and signature below.

Nice transport planes and flying boats!

And the follow up post on the Axis float planes and flying boats is now up. Click the link in my signature or the OP if you'd like to see those.

Wow, these are gorgeous! And I can sympathize, I paint and collect far more than I play... Even though in the back of my mind, each wee model I do is for that great game I'm going to play real soon, just as soon as I get a little free time, because I have no free time, because I paint too much.

Back once again with another collection of WW2 fliers. This time the theme is photo reconnaissance planes.


As ever click the link in my signature below to visit the full gallery thread on the P&M Showcase page for more pictures and historical stories.

Nice.

I forgot the name/designation of the second one.... but that is one strange and wonderful aircraft.

Cheers Easy E. Always a fan of the strange and wonderful, especially when it’s also something that really existed.

More wonderful (if not so strange) has just flown in.



Follow the links as usual to join me for Part One of my Polish odyssey.

Brilliant work, I just love this collection.

PS -- what Japanese painting have you done?

Cheers Shrap.

I’ve done some Japanese in small groups over the years as parts of other projects. I always intended to come back to them and do a full focus including a lot more of their earlier and more obscure planes.

So far I’ve done some Zeros, some twin engine bombers and a good few seaplanes and flying boats. The full list is on the first post in the gallery page.
