This is for listing all the French built/designed interwar, WW2 and early postwar aircraft available in 1/144 .
Please add or amend as you see fit AND I will then add your comments to the below list (and delete your post in order to maintain the thread for easy viewing)....

Somehow I managed to post the same message twice... 🙄
If you have begun your 1/144 Bomber collection, or are considering to subscribe to get all the models (an offer available to French, Spanish, Italians and –recently- British 1/144 fans) here is my review.
here is an useful link: (french edition, with images of almost every...

With our recent influx of new members, a timely reminder that diecasts can augment your 1/144 collection very nicely, even if you end up filling all the obvious gaps and repainting the things. If you are looking for some good starting point, the Altaya/IXO models (and several...
Hi all,
Below is an ongoing list of all the 1/144 Japanese Gasaphon aircraft kits that have been made.
There is a Japanese site (Military Museum) that also lists these kits with pictures here:

Major update of the Wing Kit Collection series with the following added:
WKC14 and 15,
Versus series Vol 2 to vol4,
WK Extra Select Vol2,
High Spec series Vol 2 to 4,
Heliborne collection Vol 6 and 7,
Blue Angels crowd,

I thought it might be handy to have a listing of available aircraft by country.

Yes, we can officially remove all FE-Resin links. The website hung around for a number of years after the company's demise and the birth of from the ashes. As we know, some of the range made the transition across to Miniwing initially, including the Avia B-35 and the majority of...

Merci bien. So - very briefly - had a look into the differences. The principal one is as you note - the dihedral on Roc replacing the straight wings with upturned wingtips on the Skua. There are also a number of differences with engines and obviously rear fuselage cut down...
I want to compile a list of all the resin aircraft manufacturers both current and old.
Please add any extra detail such as if still in business, what kits they produced if known, quality of kit, decals, etc.
Kami de koro koro (now Piccolo Model Factory) have a seperate listing...

On reflection, I really do not think my is an Eiriksson...and prefer to return to my original belief that it was a product of someone who once worked for Corgi.
That said, I have to say that the Eiriksson stuff is very attractive.
Here is a list of all the Fairy aircraft kits that are known.

No.19, apparently released Feb 14 - 1/144 Nakajima C3N1

I'm trying to build up my collection of unmade Welsh Models RAF post war kits but there are a few that I don't know anything about. This means I can't search for them to obtain.
Does anyone know of a full listing, or know which kits were allocated the following numbers?
Bit of an unexpected build this one! I picked up some nice Latin American P47 decals at a show earlier this year and got some boxes of the Platz P47s to go with them. Decided to start building up the planes last week only to realise part way through that the decals are for the...

Very nice. Interesting scheme - I know the Nationalists flew the P-43 Lancer but had no idea they flew the Thunderbolt too. Very well finished.
My father and I got on a kick a few years ago of scaling down some Fiddlers Green paper model plans to 1/144th scale of airplanes that were (or still are) unavailable in that scale. You can see all the different models here:
He ended up building four or five different L-4 / J3...
An oldie but a goodie! With the current GB, an ideal time to revisit this diorama. Just waiting to see Hurricane OK-1 taxiing into view and Michael Caine exclaiming that a visit from AVM Park (Trevor Howard) is Just what we need now! :D
My local modeling club chose for its annual contest the theme Black . I decided to take part in it with a black Spitfire. To make something different from my standard I will display it during flight, with a pilot inside the cockpit. I filled the empty space of Eduard's Spitfire...
I picked the Platz double boxing a while ago and thought it would be a good tester to play with weathering techniques
So I brush painted with Vallejo Air IJN Dark Green over Tamiya silver from a can, with Vallejo chipping medium applied inbetween.
It worked great, lots of...
Last post
Seems to be one of those oddities of WW2 that most photos of aircraft with chipped paint as extensive as this are IJN or IJA. Suggests that the surface prep or quality of the coatings being used didn't square up with their Allied counterparts. You've nailed the finish perfectly!...
The MiG-15 NO-37 was the mount of Lt. Jaroslav Sramek, 5th Fighter Regiment, Plzen-Line Air Base. On March 10, 1953, Lt. Sramek shot down a USAF F-84 Thunderjet that had intruded into Czech airspace.
The other MiG-15 is...

Thanks so much for the info, Tim. I knew Noy's makes a Luftwaffe hangar, but the Cold War piece is very nice news to me. Your fine photography does it real justice!
Hi, plane people! I have been working for a while on the subject resin kit, and thought I might start with a WIP report. I acquired a fine reference monograph on the Do-17/215 family, and then had an attack of AMS, so I went a bit crazy with small updates to the base model....

I start a new project with Revell's last kit in our favorite scale, released few years ago.
After several warbirds, I wanted to change a bit and go for something modern.
First steps, I added few details in the weels bays (a little empty) and the cockpit.
In the beginning... of 1/144th scale, there were very few kits to build. For Corsairs, you had two options, both being released in 1973 and woefully inaccurate by today's standards. First you had the Revell Micro Wings F4U-1A Corsair and then you had the Mitsuwa F4U-1 (which...
Last post
Revell Japan and Mitsuwa both independently issued the F4U-1 in 1973. The fact that you could mistake this build for the AFV Club one unless you looked really closely and knew the refinements on the latter, is testimony to the modelling skills on display. Thanks again for...

Wow!! That's great!
I have this kit with Finnish markings in my stash. Hope it comes out as nicely as yours when I get round to it.
I too don't like waste and believe all kits should be built. You can always Whif the bad ones :lol: !
Hi, all, thought I'd post a little filler article while I await the opportunity to get serious with my Peter's Planes Do-17E. I promise that will be my next post after this one.

Last post
I've seen that Airfix base advertised in the past, but everything displayed on it has invariably been 1/72, so this is great to see it adapted for our scale. And the concept is both ingenious and so beautifully realised. I can now see a series of Family Portraits ... ;)
I've seen these build before on this forum, a lovely scheme. Hurricanes used in Rhodesia for RAF pilot training.
Sweet Hurricane kits with decals by Shelf Oddity. Silver paint from a Tamiya rattle can.
