My 1/144 WWII Aircraft



A Lancaster is escorted home by little friends - from my 1/144 World War II aircraft collection. The Mosquitos were arguably the best heavy fighter/ light bomber/ night fighter/ strike intruder of WWII.



A Zero escorts a G4 Betty bomber. This bomber was called a Type One Lighter by Japanese pilots as the self sealing fuel tanks have been ripped out to save weight.


A Fiat BR20 encounters a Royal Navy Martlet (Wildcat). BR20 bombers launched a daylight raid on Harwich in the Battle of Britain, escorted only by CR42 biplane Fighters. The incredulous Hurricane pilots of Fighter Command handled them extremely roughly.

  3. Nice aircraft you got there! All from WWII I see. Man that was the real war. Frankly I believe that such technological advancements in aviation could not have been achieved without it. Greta collection of ir craft.
