Spitfire Me109 toys

[61fury]

Scratch built I envisioned these as post war toys for kids. Batteries are for prop and machine guns. I bought a cheap sound kit, don't care for the sound. These things are not fixable. They took at least 2 years to build. The barn swallow, I used for the pilot's insignia, the most graceful and beautiful birds ever. I showed the speaker grill s and battery comparts too. I wish I had cleaned them up but I didn't. The red button is "fire", The lever on the back is the prop.

Hope they're 800x600 I resized them ,hope not too many pics for one post

I've toy built many WW1 models also, they are quite a bit easier, all angle, no curves or filets. A Northrup Gamma was a huge pain

Good stuff. I would imagine a kid would lobe playing with them at the time.

The Battle of Britain Playset, It just needs a fancy box.
I used to collect tin toys, mainly reproduction, Schuco, Paya , many no name Chinese toys. These planes were made out of scrap non corrugated tin cans. I used the plane proflies to use a central brass tube to solder the outside panels to.

The thread has been posted in the proper section methinks. So no problem for me.

Today you'd have lawsuits all over the place from kids poking their eyes out. Anyone remember when we had dangerous toys?

If you meant the Colt Python .357 Magnum... I remember.
