Latest Aircraft Received

I couldn't see an aircraft topic, so I added one, because you can never have too much air support...

My wargaming buddy spotted this one in an on-line auction a few days ago. It arrived in my letterbox today.

Good buddy to have.

Aircraft for the period are very much part of the whole Vietnam appeal

Nice!

Not really "Lastest" but more accurately "Recent".... my UH-1C Medevac Corgi chopper.





Still waiting on the gunship. It's been showing "En Route" to Canada from Russia for over a month. My guess is it's coming by shipping container.

Mine in a winning bid for $10.50 on-line.

Both of those two above look like fine additions. One can have a lot of fun with a Skyraider.

love this plane , I have a two seat version by Revell to build in the stash of doom

purchased a few bits of gold from Dave Schmit at Araments in Miniature .

all 1/100 models


T28 Trojan ;


A37 Cessna


OV-10 Bronco

all models are beautifully cast one-piece urethane models with weapon loadouts to add.

looking forward to these ; especially happy with the A-37

Looks like your troops will have some FAC support in the future.  Nice detail on those kits.

both of these are from AIM in 1/100, .... nice casts that paint up well. AIM also has excellent flight stands , here are two sizes bases , there are two types of magnet mounting if you want . most excellent product . lovely casts .

Niiiice!
Is the undercarriage on the O-1 part of the casting or separate or metal?

Hiya Darby ,

the O-1 undercarriage is urethane ; and is well / thoughtfully 'plumbed' to allow best support and glueing  ... but I don't rely on it ; the model 'stores' on a magnetic pillar so the undercarriage is not touching / supporting any weight .  This is one of the few times it has sat on the undercarriage .  I am usually looking at it from above or behind on its' go-tall flightstand.





I forgot to add the decals on this and these are via AIM ; I can look up who supplies them if you are after 1/100 decals for aircraft . There are a few .

Recent aquisitions since about mid January.  



Hoping to find a couple more at a model kit show next weekend.

A nice selection there. Jimmi's 15 mm models look great too.

That's a lot of aircraft, Serb!! I have about that many unassembled. I would just like to get the ambition to put together three or four more that I have now.

Are you going to start on them soon?

Tom

Expecting to start on them next Sundy, or maybe Saturday evening after the IPMS show in Dayton if I get home early enough.

I'm glad I asked the question. I always miss that show. I think I will try to make it.
