Gigant Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) This list is a far cry from the 1990's when I started to acquire all the different models available in 1/32 scale. 25 years ago we had but a few, including all the planes, not just the few between the wars. If this keeps up I'll have to move my family into a motel room and convert the home into a warehouse. Maybe it is time to cut back? To answer: NEVER! ​You gotta remember the builder/collector's motto: "Models are like Jello-there is always room for one more" Edited June 28, 2018 by Gigant Troy Molitor and ssculptor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to further add to your interest, here is the decal website dedicated to the "Yellow Wings" era planes in 1/32 scale: http://yellow-wingsdecals.com/decals/index.php/1-32-decals.html Notice, you could build a Kitty Hawk Kingfisher dressed out as one as well.

Hubert Boillot Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I had a scrounge through the stash and found all of these which will be built one day! The one you can get out of the « to do » list isbthe Lindberg Laird Turner Meteor, at keast if you want to keep a constant scale ... As for the stash of Golden Age kits, I don't dare show mine...Let's say it has all of these, and then a « few » more Hubert Tnarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnarg Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I am tempted to reduce my stash to only include this era, but then I realize how much I like WNW... and Ma.K and Space stuff and ..... Tnarg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick HMD Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Has anyone mentioned the Curtis JN-4 Jenny? Feathered in 2 Gary Cooper movies. 'Task Force' and 'The Court Marshall of Billy Mitchell'. Beautiful airplane, but not very popular with the modelling community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Don't think there is a Jenny out there, but it did remind me of the Matchbox Tiger Moth; is that considered between the wars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful airplane, but not very popular with the modelling community. Not looked at 'Task Force', but the "Jennies" in The Court Marshall of Billy Mitchell' are actually Standard J1s.

Patrick HMD Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Is it available in 1/32 scale Patrick? I am trying to keep the list to what is actually available No, not that I'm aware of. Sorry, my mistake Not looked at 'Task Force', but the "Jennies" in The Court Marshall of Billy Mitchell' are actually Standard J1s. Steve Thanks for that correction. Now I must google J1s. I'm still learning about those kites. Task Force, excellent movie BTW. The early part is set during the Golden Age, and the Navy's struggle to establish Naval aviation. I can't think of a Cooper movie that I have not liked. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 The kit that jumps out at me from Eric's collection is the Special Hobby Claude. I love those planes! I think Fine Molds just released a new kit in 1/48; didn't know this 1/32 scale kit was out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Yes, at least two boxings each of the Claude and Ki-27 out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jack Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Lindbergh also made two racing planes. You can also consider the Fairey Swordfish, P-38E, Curtis P.35, P.36, P.40, and B.17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jack Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Gray Scale Figures makes a backdate for the P.38 to an E or F. You can also backdate the Bf. 109. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jack Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 De Agustini makes a fine 1/32 DC.3 that is aluminium covered, but it costs over a grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
