Where's the BP Defiants? Just spotted them in the top photo… Favourite plane of the early war. |

Nice stuff. Are your stands Litko by any chance? And how have you managed to get the planes to bank/climb? Any chance of a photo of that bit of the stand? Cheers, B |

Very good looking aircraft. I'm jealous as mine don't look anywhere near that good. |

Looks like an excellent start! |

Thanks. Yes the stands are from Litko. The models have a ring magnet and ball bearing joint (Yank and Bank system) which you can see a bit better in the pic below. This is mostly for asthetics. Aircraft like the Bf110 are a little too heavy to mount this way.

That's quite a pharaonic work, and with such great detail and accuracy. Impressive "start of a collection", I have to repeat :) How did you get that shine on the B-17? Paint, or polished original metal? —Rolando |

The B-17 was sanded down quite abit before painting with Tamiya Flat Aluminium. It has not been hit with any varnish yet. |

Wow, it's shiny as hell. Looks great. I once spray-painted two P-38's with a Rust-Oleum beautiful metallic silver, but after the gloss cloat, the silver became almost a dull gray! Later I read that the instructions counter-recommended a top coat :( Try in on some spare plane fisrt as a test! —Rolando |
