The Poundland in Livingston, west Lothian, has a diminishing stock of both conveyances.

Are they about the right size for wings of War, with a paint job?

No they're too small for that.  Might work with 6mm planes though.

I've only ever seen one Zeppelin and one carriage , both under lock and key in the local model shop for $45 , about 13 pounds.
They did'nt last very long before being sold.
