That is a really nice variety of vehicles.
But at those prices (& I understand resin, etc) the airplanes would be the supporting actors !!!
Still, I shall have to look at one or two ...

Looking through the list it seems that many of the subjects will be suitable for airfield dioramas right into the 1950s (in some cases into the '60s). Unfortunately we'll never see these subjects in (cheaper) plastic kits, so, in the meantime it's a question of 're-directing' money for such 'fripperies' as food etc....

Actually I wouldn't mind seeing them move back into the 20's & 30's ... I'm not sure what of the line so far could be retrofitted to an earlier time ... another rainy day project I guess ...
