Pulp Plane Library

...and that will save you from scratchbuilding a refueling truck! 

Not really a scratchbuild, more an unholy coupling of two Matchbox items.

There is a 1/48 fuel tank Opel Blitz at Italeri

so, let's see how inserting pictures works in this Forum (and show off a bit of my work along the way)...

My Bookshelf Air-and-Space Museum just re-opened after a dusting-action. Inspired by the forum it now displays some of the more pulpy exhibits from my collection. I'm still a bit unsure what exactly pulp is, but I think these should fit in:


No visitors yet.



Left to right:
Douglas TBD Devastator (a reissue of an old Monogram kit)
Fairey Swordfish (by Tamiya)
Curtiss S3C (Testors)
Hughes H1b (Planet Models)
SPAD SXIII (Dragon)
Junkers F13 (Franklin Mint)
Bachem Natter (Dragon)
Polikarpov I 16 (Academy)
Rumpler Tropfenwagen (I have no idea)
Rolls Royce Merlin engine and Messerschmitt Bf 109 Interior and William Beebe's Bathysphere in the background.

Everything in 1/48, Except the Junkers (1/50) and the Car (1/43).


In the outdoors-exhibit: Revell's Junkers Ju-52


The Museum also offers scenic flights in a swiss Ju...


...and owns an airworthy example of the most classic of airliners.

I'm still a bit unsure what exactly pulp is,

When you figure it out let me know!
Really its more of a feeling then a fact. 

A most impressive collection you have there. And also a very nice display method. Do you actually game with them or are they display only?

[PortCharmers]

OK, I suspected so.

Thanks for the flowers.

No, I'm not gaming at all (yet). I'm more into making things. My collection built up in the last 20 or so years (the planes on the pictures however are more recent works), with planes from different nations, times, theatres of operation, mass-products, oddballs and rare prototypes. I thought that in reality, you find a collection like this (and probably most other model collections) only in a museum. The "slice" of hangar is taylormade to fit a cell of my bookshelf.

Fantastic collection!

I just saw this and thought it was worth sharing.....

That's a lovely looking plane and reading the blog, the figure was sculpted by the guy who made the plane, nice work.

When air travel had style and was not the cattle transportation of today...

It's at least somewhat wrong though. The first four-engine aircraft was long before 1930; I believe it was Igor Sikorsky's 'Russky Vityaz' (which later became Russia's Ilya Muromets heavy bomber in WWI).

Cool! Thanks for posting!

Nice hanger! Welcome to the fold! Thanks for posting an awesome picture.

Ive just added another aero to my production line. The studio ghibli Mitsubishi, which I think is suitably pulpy.
