1:32 AND LARGER...

SOPWITH WITH SEA  BOOTS!

THIS first-class mixed medium kit in 1:32 builds into an impressive and accurate model of the Sopwith Baby floatplane with plenty of detail to keep the modeller busy. Full cockpit and forward fuselage components are supplied along with 3D printed Lewis guns and 112lb bombs as well as a superb mini-kit of a 110-hp Clerget 9B rotary engine. All struts have wire inserts to aid stability and there's a generous selection of PE detail parts with a three-option decal sheet of very high quality offering an excellent choice of colourful subjects. This 2020 Lukgraph kit is in mint condition and will add gravitas to any collection of 1:32 scale WWI Sopwith designs.

WELL-HEELED HANRIOT!

THIS superb multi-medium production from Lukgraph presents a fabulous 1:32 scale model of the delightful French Hanriot HD.1 which comes with a seven-option decal sheet offering exotic markings for Belgian, Italian and Swiss options plus a captured example in Austro-Hungarian markings! Stacks of finely-rendered 3D printed components include a one-piece fuselage box structure; super detailed rotary engine; full armament, cowling and plenty more. Detailed instructions provide rigging guides, multi colour views for the decal options plus a comprehensive PE sheet of detail parts including control horns, strut fixings; dashboard, instrument bezels as well as inspection panels for the fuselage exterior. Some of the 3D parts have come adrift and the central trestle is in two pieces but everything is secured in zip-loc polythene bags and there are no missing items. An absolute outstanding model of this popular and colourful WWI design. 

A PRETTY SHARP RAZOR!

An ex-Avis kit, with some cosmetic improvements but which remains a fairly simple model by 1:32 scale WWI kits' standards, so investment in Aviattic's various upgrades is firmly recommended. Moulded competently, the 108 part kit includes a reasonably well-detailed interior; multi-piece Oberursel rotary engine; choice of airscrews and  restrained surface detail throughout. Our example is in mint condition although the somewhat  flimsy box, with its entirely imaginary art of a black/yellow striped D.VIII!, requires care when removing it from our padded postal carton! The modest decal sheet provides one set of Balkenkreuze; instrumentation; Axial logos and control cable exit reinforcement patches. For your first foray into large scale WWI model kits, this one can hardly be bettered!

*INCLUDES 80 PAGE ILLUSTRATED E.V/D.VIII MONOGRAPH!

THE ORIGINAL VINTAGE MASTERPIECE! 

THIS truly ground-breaking large scale kit of the French WWI SPAD XIII was first released in 1957 along with an equally impressive red Fokker Triplane, both setting incredibly high bench marks that remained unassailable for several decades. These 1:27/1:28 scale highly- detailed and generally accurate kits have enjoyed almost continual production in various forms ever since they first appeared all those years ago. The kit on offer is an original 1957 first issue with three figures, rigging material and an excellent instruction  'broadsheet' that provides detailed painting and rigging notes accompanying  each stage of the build. All the long-separated parts of our kit have been carefully checked and  contained in a number of polythene bags for safety. This great model comes with a copy of the SPAD Profile, drawings and modelling notes from a contemporary edition of Aero-Modeller, along with 'scans' of the 'Revell's Classic SPAD' feature from WINDSOCK International Vol.9, No.4 which is no longer in print. This two page article gives a detailed review of the 1957 release and surveys  various re-issues up to 1993...

IN THE RED!

AS-new example of the Meng [ex-Wingnut Wings] Fokker Dr.I Triplane with Red Baron resin bust in two parts for easy assembly. As one would expect from the kit's origins, it is accurate, beautifully detailed and the best plastic kit of the fabled Fokker triplane ever produced, only surpassed by the companies' 1:24 version. All content remains in the original, unopened polythene bags and our kit includes some great bonus materials: 1:32 scale hyper-detailed scale drawings; a set of Eduard's Die roten Flieger decals designed specifically for this kit with four options, and a professionally-painted Elan 13 resin figure of the man and his dog-in  their original box. .. 

*CONTAINS SCALE PLANS; DECALS AND FIGURES!

LAND CLERGET TRACTOR!

The first Sopwith Strutter kit by Roden of the Ukraine was released in 2023 and streets ahead of most others in their 1:32 scale series. The Sopwith two-seater is an impressive production with plenty of authentic cockpit details, crisp Clerget and twin gun armament as well as a number of unused bombs for  upcoming kits. Two main-planes as supplied, one with solid centre-section, the other with generous cut-outs for which thin acetate panels are provided. The kit is mint and comes with extra decals; engine frame; used Profile No.121, plus a xerox  copy of the original 1917 T.5 technical rigging notes with airframe sketches, annotated drawings and RAFwire diagram with all wire gauges and lengths specified.

THE REALLY BIG ONE!

* ENTIRELY complete, mint example of the amazing 2010 Wingnut Wings Gotha G.IV in breath-taking 1:32 scale is an absolute behemoth spanning nearly 30 ins. when built!  Our example has a full colour xerox copy instruction manual-the original being inexplicably lost-but everything else is exactly as packed by the factory. All the frames remain in their original cellophane sleeve -and that includes the extensive decal and PE sheets. This is undeniably the most extraordinary example of a WWI aeroplane ever kitted and only surpassed by Wingnut Wings themselves with introduction of their mind-blowing Felixstowe flying boats released a few years' later. Aside from a few creases, the capacious and  colourful box is in overall good shape, whilst the contents inside it are in top-notch condition.

*Detailed review and multi-page build log of this superb Gotha kit may be found in Building the Wingnut Wings GOTHA G.IV published by Albatros and currently in stock. Please see the links below... 

WINGNUT'S FIRST 'DOGFIGHT DOUBLE'!

THIS was a natural pairing of two early war combatants with both WNW Fokker E.III and DH.2 kits in one large package bearing classic box art from notable US artist Steve Anderson. The kit is complete with all contents remaining in their untouched factory-sealed packaging except for the instruction booklet in a replacement clear envelope. The box does have a few minor creases but everything inside it is in mint condition.

 THE RAF'S FINEST FIGHTER!

Despite the garish box art,this is a pretty accurate model of the British SE5 WWI fighter in the usual Guillow's style with full instructions;balsa and plastic parts plus decals and covering tissue. Vacform pilot figure included along with ply firewall and instructions for Cox .010 power conversion.

'TOMMY' !!!

This 1979 edition of the Guillow's classic is in tip-top condition and includes all the balsa parts and strip; tissue covering and decals; vacformed plastic parts and hard polystryrene wheel halves; required to complete a fine flying scale model of the classic Thomas Morse S4C Scout of 1918. One of their most popular kits of the time and we are able to offer this single mint example to our customers....
