any one know any good airplane factory( models of the factories they were built in not the airplanes them self) models which produce american aircraft during world war 2/??????????????????

Top ranked are:
Tamiya and Hasegawa.
But also you will find excellent American WW2 airplane kits in Accurate Miniatures.
All the companies have some model that will rank very well, you just have to search for them.

Is this post for real?????????? Your looking for a model of the actual aircraft manufacturing plants, such as Grumman or Lockheed! Have you any idea just how vast these factories were? Even if you did it to one of the model ship scales, like 1/700, it would still be very large.

Hi skytrainboy

I've never seen a commercial kit of an aircraft factory - I think you're really talking dioramas here... :-)

Many years ago, Shep Paine modelled a B-26 Marauder production line in 1/48 scale! If I remember rightly, he built a single plane, surrounded by figures and equipment, and used mirrors either side to give the effect of a production line stretching into the distance. :-)

Hope this helps

You're heading into scratch building land. Try to get your hands on Shep Paines book, it has an example of a production facility.

There are History Channel shows and photographs of production lines and they could be your research and guide.

Yep, like Scott said, you are heading into scratch building land. And, that is a dark path you are on young Jedi.

Dead simple, during ww2, many aircraft factories were underground (for obvious reasons).So the solution is equally straightforward. Get the largest piece of baseboard you can, (for ease of use, about 23 feet by 57 feet) build a gently rolling terrain over it and put the odd air-vent every 3 feet or so. So the dio doesn't look boring you can add a suitably converted figure walking their dog. Voila! Aircraft factory........... #:-)

Of course this advice is (as Geoff said) is only useful if you are planning on building a small aircraft factory. If you plan to reproduce the Skunk Works, convert a soccer field into your own personal diorama.....might be a leeetle difficult to move around if you fancy competing at model shows however..... You don't have access to a trucking company do you? #:-)
