Having added the latest 'reinforcements' to my collection of 1:100th-scale Second World War aircraft, I decided that it would be a good idea to list them. At present, the collection includes the following aircraft, listed by country of origin:
Germany
I also discovered that I have eight approximately 1:100th-scale diecast models of Boeing-Stearman two-seater biplanes in my collection, which with a little repainting will just about pass muster as generic light biplane bombers.
Germany

- 9 x Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter
- 3 x Messerschmitt Bf 110 heavy fighter
- 1 x Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger fighter
- 3 x Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik ground-attack aircraft

Hi Bob- That is a very good collection of aircraft for your games- I'm assuming that they are with 'flight stands' as well...it is easy to make them from Piano Wire and Poker Chips.
ReplyDeleteAnd a 1.0mm Drill for holes in the Poker Chip and Plane Fusalarge. Cheers. KEV.
Kev Robertson (Kev),
DeleteThe plastic models (which were made for the AXIS & ALLIES MINIATURES ANGELS 20 and BANDITS HIGH air combat games) all come with flight stands designed to be used on a tabletop. The metal diecast models come with display stands which are not suitable for use on the tabletop. As a result, I tend to use upturned plastic champagne flutes or tumblers in place of the flight stands as they are see-through, stable, and cheap, and can also be placed over figures on the tabletop.
All the best,
Bob
Everyone's list is longer than they think, Bob. Ask Tim Gow (quickly, before he tells you anyway) :-)

Chris Kemp (Chris),
DeleteMine certainly is ... as I found an He 111 to add to it this morning!
All the best,
