Title: Pulp Aircraft
Post by: Gundamentalist 5.56 on 25 February 2007, 11:34:40 PM

I've been nosing around 28mm scale aircraft for my Pulp game.

There's not a lot out there, but there are some exceptions.

There these from Model Power (http://www.modelpower.com/index.asp)

Army - With pontoons - olive drab - if this had two seats and was silver it would be the plane at the start of Raiders...

This is a good site (http://www.zi.ku.dk/personal/drnash/model/spain/scwmodel.html) listing planes of the Spanish Civil War in various scales including 1/48.

Aeroclub used to make a 1/48 DE89 Dragon Rapide (http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Fea1/901-1000/Fea955_DH89_Aibara/fea955.htm), but I quickly found it goes for biggish money on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290086352481).

Italeri make a Henscel HS-123 (http://www.italeri.com/product.aspx?item=2632S) and a CR42 (http://www.italeri.com/product.aspx?item=2640S).

Revell make a Junkers Ju52 (http://www.revell.de/en/products/model_kits/model_kits/aircraft/index.html?id=210&KOKANR=01&KOSCHL=01&KGSCHL=&L=1&page=10&sort=0&nc=1&searchactive=&q=&SWO=&ARMAS4=&CatalogueSID=65fc722cc6a901bac562e34d2b2befc0&KZSLPG=all&offset=79&cmd=show&ARARTN=04521&sp=1) and Henschel HS-123 (http://www.revell.de/en/products/model_kits/model_kits/aircraft/index.html?id=210&KOKANR=01&KOSCHL=01&KGSCHL=&L=1&page=10&sort=0&nc=1&searchactive=&q=&SWO=&ARMAS4=&CatalogueSID=65fc722cc6a901bac562e34d2b2befc0&KZSLPG=all&offset=73&cmd=show&ARARTN=04500&sp=1).

ESCI/Ertl used to make a Lockeed Vega (http://www.austinsms.org/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=9&pos=110).

Love that top one (well, all of them, really). Sea planes are so cool. Does anyone know of any Great War floatplane kits in 1/48th?

I'd really like a floatplane.

this kit is available elsewhere so do a web search.
Testors used to do an SB6 (Schnieder Trophy winner and forerunner of the Spitfire), try ebay for both?

Aahhh, Porco Rosso! Gotta love that one! I used to have an AMV featuring scenes from PR underlaid with Wagner´s "Ride of the Valkyries"... ah, the good old days.
