njaco will you post a list of your available ww2 1/72 kits?

Are there any WW2 1/72 around that people are willing to sell? I would love to see a list of any that are available....

Just wanted to see if anyone would be willing to post pictures of their Luft 46 models as some are such beautiful and interesting planes.......

Cheers Wayne! Th luft 46 revell kits havent been in production for the last few years? Are they fairly hard to find? I love the arado e555.

I shall hunt around for the facts, but agent tricycle had to do a questionnaire many pages long about the defences at Pearl Harbor. These however were dismissed by the Americans and ignored.......

Does anyone have any good information on Peenemunde? Or possibly have visited there? Sounds and interesting place, with the rocketry reseach and aviation reasearch that took place there.

Didn't the British inform the U.S about a future attack on Pearl Harbour by the Japanese? Agent Tricycle was sent to discover information on torpedo netting etc by the Germans to give to a Japanese diplomat. If this is corect, surely ignoring a trade partner was a stupid thing to do and...

I'm really interested in Luft 46 and think its fascinating. I just wondered if anyone had any reccomendations of kits to build and even pictures of these great planes!

My Dad used to make kits when he was a lad, so thought I might be interested. We did our first joint one when I was 5 and I did my first solo one when I was about 8. Since then I ahve been amking them for the past 8 years....... It was the kits that got me interested. I researched planes and...

I have heard stories of Luftwaffe pilots shooting Polish pilots in their parachutes in the German invasion of Poland. So the Polish pilots that escaped to Britain, most likely wanted revenge. I cans strongly feel for the Polish pilots for they were fighting people who had mercilessly bombed...

Although the Luftwaffe were in ruin due to lack of resources and the effect of allied planes, their technology and amazing ideas, well ahead of their time were awesome. For sheer numbers etc America. Radically cool designs like Luft 46, Luftwaffe

I would certainly say that it is between the RAF and Luftwaffe. The RAF had a limited amount of money and more importantly time, to develop good aircraft for both attacking and defensive roles. Unlike America, Britain fought from 1939, yet America did not become her ally. The spitfire was an...

My Top 5: Concorde Hawker Typhoon Spitfire Vampire Eurofighter

The model kit itself is Airfix's Savoia-Marchetti SM.79.

Another problem with airfix is the types of planes you can build. For me, WW2 appeals, a sI am quite keen in that era. However, many people in my year are far more interested in modern jet planes, which there seem to be fewer of. Teens my age no longer find the past interesting and have to...
