Hi everyone, I have been having a look at some alternative ww2 models in 1/144 scale (or very close to it) and have acquired some rather interesting ones. Here is a start and I will put up some more photos of other planes/brands as I get time to do it. The first one is a model of a Heinkel bomber. The model is diecast & I have picked up 2 variants as shown below. I got them second hand at a very good price, considering they are already painted. The desert version just needs some after-market swastikas applied to the tail.
I think there is also a current further paint variation for eastern Front.
I must admit that until today I thought they were spot on 1/144 but they are in fact 1/140. Being diecast they are quite heavy models but sit on the Ares Heinkel bases quite nicely as you can see. I may eventually replace them with Minicraft models.
