I take it these are plastic models?? I like some of the schemes and would like to see many of these made in diecast eventually..

Yes, they are all solid plastic castings dating back 10-12 years--I explained some of the background in a recent reply on my thread "Spanish Planes in Plastic". Many of the schemes come from decal sheets, artwork or articles in magazines like "FineScale Modeler". My personal favorite is the over-all aluminum Sally with green and red brown splotches on top.

Thanks for the new pics, Epapazian. Perhaps you could make some more for your buddies! (I know, I know, you got rid of the molds).

The schemes definitely look more dynamic, so yeah me too love to see them made in diecast please?!!

I'll be damned if those Japanese bombers weren't using R2 units as top turret gunners!

Nice collection! Thanks for posting these rarities. The Peggy and Sally caught my eye, although I love 'em all.

They are all in 1:72 scale, which I felt to be the best size for a wide array of planes, ranging from the B-17 to the ME-163, when I obtained them in the pre-diecast era in the early 1990s.
