1936 Keystone Loening
This is a diecast I got from ebay for $15 USD, S&H included Scale pics show a 1" grid and minis by Copplestone, Pulp Figures, and Artizan.
I intend to convert this into a monowing and paint it up, but its playable in the meantime. The diecasts come painted or brushed metal like this one. This is a Chevron one. It comes in Texaco colors and at least one other, so good hunting. |

A great plane for the era! I recall seeing one in an interior illustration in a Doc Savage pulp magazine. The Ford Tri-Motor is another die cast worth looking at. |

Great find which once again puts me on the horns of a dilemma. The model is a terrain piece so to speak. Do I spen money on expensive terrain or on miniatures???? |

Allen57 It's not just a terrain piece. It's a *moving* terrain piece that can be an integral part of an adventure. I don't think that $15.00 USD is very expensive either. The scale on the die-cast shown is very near perfect too. |

<Do I spend money on expensive terrain or on miniatures????> Allen57, the obvious answer to your question is "yes!". |
