Title: Chaco War Aircraft
Post by: mpennock on 27 July 2012, 04:43:44 AM
A couple of months ago I posted pictures of some Golden Age racing planes that I had computer modeled and 3D printed. At that time there were several requests for aircraft from several of the conflicts of the period. Since I have an interest in the era, and because it sounded like a fun project, I decided to try my hand at modeling some of the aircraft that were used in the Gran Chaco War.

Unfortunately, I have not had the time to get them all painted, so most are merely primed. All of the models shown are in 1/144 scale, but are also available in 1/100 scale.

For Paraguay, here are the Potez XXV and the Fiat Cr.20

And for Bolivia, a pair of Curtiss products, the CW-14R Osprey and the Hawk II

I'm quite impressed with them, as with the tanks etc in the other thread!  :)

Wow, those are some great planes!  I know NOTHING about the Gran Chaco War, but keep looking at the Khurasan figures and thinking they would just be cool to have...and now you have 1/100 scale planes to go with...awesome!
