I was able to aquire this fantastic wind tunnel model / model of the CT41. It has a scale size of 1:10 (the original size was 9,79m / model size is 96cm) My question to all of you (as being much more experienced in this cases) is, if you think it is a real wind tunnel model or "just" a...

I found this photograph on tvd.im, a website that covers militaria and sundries. The entry and caption were for a Curtis SC Seahawk. Obviously, this ain’t it, but what is it? I did a cursory look at Luft’46 didn’t come up with anything that looks like this seaplane. The tail looks like it came...

Tomy is crowdfunding a 20-pound lighted 1/350-scale die-cast replica of the starship Enterprise, NCC-1701. The goal is to get 5,000 backers at $599 each. That sounds like a lot, but when Quantum Mechanics did some 1/350 lighted ships a decade-ish ago, they were in the area of five or ten grand...

Hello Just added this model to my collection. I tried to research the design and haven’t come up with an answer. It’s 25” long made out of heavy resin and brass wings. Swing wing, 4-engines, supersonic design traits. Found in Texas. As far as age I’m thinking 60’s, 70’s, or early 80’s

In the very first Thnunderbirds Episode "Trapped in the Sky" the London Airport building features the letters BAOC (based on the British Airways predecessor BOAC) as a rival to the Air Terrainean company who flew the Fireflash. As a BOAC fan I always hoped to see the BAOC version. So 50 years...

Britain's Avro 730 supersonic bomber concept was the first kit produced by Fantastic Plastic. (It was released in October 2005). After being out of production for almost two years, I've brought it back as a new, improved model. Whereas the first kit was a simple "tabletop" model, Version 2.0...

The first model I did for Fantastic Plastic back in 2004 was the British Avro 730 bomber in 1/144 scale. Last year I was asked to re-visit the model. I completely rescribed it, added cockpit, landing gear and bomb bay details, and just generally improved the hell out of it. The first time...

I saw this site looking for future projects. Here is an Avro 730 I carved about 18" long plus a Supermarine Scimatar that I fancied having a model of. When I was last in the science museum in London I saw these sorts of models and wanted ones like them, the 730 is my first attempt the Scimatar...
