I recently spotted these in a shopping mall modelling store and couldn't resist them. The fact that they had all been reduced to £2.99 each made it all the better. They are all 1:144 scale and come pre-painted and decals applied. P-47 Thunderbolt Focke Wulf FW190 Mitsubishi Zero
Nice ones Had a ME BF 109 F 4 Maseile one but a small accident happened and it is broken :/ Is planning to get a new one later Wish they made the same idea for the 1/72 scale series as well.
Thanks, Ulrich. There were a lot more in the store that were painted in other squadron colour schemes. This made it a lot harder for me to decide which ones to go for. JD, When I was a kid I used to make a lot of models and some met an untimely ending after being accidentally dropped. Some even crashed and burned after 'flying' out of my bedroom window in flames!
I didn't see one, they mainly had all the ones I have shown plus P-51 Mustangs and Me 109s. A P-38 Lightning would have been nice.
Sad! Yes a p-38 would be great too! Not only that it was an good aircraft, no it was the plane where Antoine de Saint-Exupèry died with.
Great find John which company makes them as I have a friend ( yes I really do! ) who has a model shop and wouldn't mind a couple for my son, I wonder if they do tanks as well!
Airfix make them and I made a mistake on the scale. They are actually 1:144 and not 1:100 as I previously stated. Here's the box from one that my son bought.
