Detailed
& Finished * Ready to Display * Cast Plastic
Models
These finished
plastic model airplanes come with a pedestal base for displaying in a
flying position. This allows you to display the models with the
gear either up or down. They can also be displayed without the
included pedestal base. The colors are very nice as are all the
markings. We like them for these features and because they
are very inexpensive!
These models are
great to display for yourself. They also make wonderful gifts and
are an inexpensive way to interest the younger generation to aviation.
The warbird models
all feature a propeller that spins via a mechanical gear drive when the
plane is mounted on the base.
The jet models
will move up and down, simulating different angles of attack, by pulling
a string attached to their base. And, they have functional landing
gear.
A
Few Notes Concerning Scale
The
scale of the WWII models is 1:44 and 1:48 with the exception of the B-17
which is 1:100th. The 1:48 scale models would fit well in your
"O-Scale" train layout.
Most of
the jets are 1:72 scale, although the Phantom is 1:64, the NATO fighters
are 1:94, and MIG-29's are 1:109th and the SR-71 is 1:110th scale (the
SR-71 is an excellent rendition of this famous plane).
The
commercial airliners: Lockheed 10 Electra is 1:58 scale, Douglas
DC-3 is 1:96 scale and the Douglas DC-7 is 1:130th scale.
