Some Unusual Subjects in the 1:100th-87th Scale
Some Unusual Subjects in the 1:100th-87th Scale
I make it a point to scour the net as well as other sources, to find unusual subjects in diecast and I'm not fixated on any particular scale---so long as the result is a reasonably detailed model that's big enough to be worth displaying. This penchant, inevitably, leads me to the mass produced subscription lines, like Hachette, DeAgostino, Amercom and GE Fabbri, which supply a major portion of my small scale unusual subject collection.
In any event, I thought that AF, in particular, and some other members might be interested in seeing some of these models. I'm focusing, primarily, on planes that saw action and have not been duplicated, as yet, in diecast form, not only by HM, Corgi, etc. but also by IXO in its bomber and fighter series. Also, I'm leaving out flying boats, transports, trainers, experimental types, etc. as well as mediums and heavies. I should also add that I have code 3d some of these models, so they are not in their original form----usually because of poor painting. Also, a few models are not in the 1:100-1:87th scale range----but close enough.
Interestingly, some WW1 unusual subjects are starting to pop up. Here are four of them---a Henriot fighter in Italian service, plus an Italian Macchi Mi 5 sea plane and an Ansaldo recon/light bomber bird. The other model is a Russian Antara DS, also a recon/light bomber:

Are those Hachette Japanese A/C? 1/87th?
Re: Some Unusual Subjects in the 1:100th-87th Scale
The Hachette single engine fighters are all 1:87th as are certain float planes----the Pete, Rex and Glen. Other float planes---Jake and Paul---plus all of the army and navy attack planes are in 1:100th.
