Nice display mate. Is the rifle a 1:1 kit too, or the real thing? If it's a model, then you've done a good job on the metal finish - looks real.

Good ones!

Great planes. That R/C plane looks really nice.

Has to be a model. Otherwise that Spad would be 1/24th by the looks of it.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.

The M-14 is a Dragon 1/3 scale model. It was a fun kit. Built staight out of the box and I painted the metal hardware with Tamiya Gun Metal paint. The charging handle works and the box magazine is removable.

Here is a picture of the 1/3 scale model with my WE-Tech gas blow back airsoft M-14.

Very nice, and nicely done too ! Years ago, i had a 1:1 scale plastic kit (I think LS Gun Kits) of a MP40, and an M16A1, which I built and hung on the wall. They looked the real deal, until handled of course !

Nice kits mate!

Man when I was a kid, I would have killed for all these Airsoft products.

Too true ! Me and my mates use to play with Sten guns made from a length of broom handle and a stick for a magazine. They were real to us of course !!

 

[Loiner]

That brings back memories, making rifles out of suitably shaped sticks - things have certainly moved on since, although I'll bet we had just as much fun.

A-man, and it was a lot cheaper too. Man those were some good times!

Gotta say they are alot of fun! I have a couple myself, (AK74, and a G3) and I used to play airsoft pretty frequently in my or other friends backyards.....they are a ton of fun!

Play airsoft. You can shoot each other with those? Interesting. Not something I would condone with my kids. I was under the impression that though not lethal they hurt and could put an eye out. Man I'm getting old.

I've got an electronic M16 airsoft thingy, bought for lecturing purposes, rather than use the real thing. My mate fired it at his Shogun, and it chipped the windscreen ! Although not lethal, some of them do hurt on impact, and I could easily see eye injuries happening. I believe though that, as with 'paint ball', the contestants wear goggles or full-face masks.

Bingo! Whenever I or anyone airsoft you should always wear goggles as they can take an eye out. As for the "hurt" aspect, its really not that bad. It forms a small welt that goes away after a few minutes and just stings for a few seconds....you get used to it pretty quick. Oh and did I mention its a ton of fun! Paintball however hurts a lot more!

And the real thing hurts a lot, lot more !
