But here are a few others ( all in 1/72 scale )....

These are about as modern as I go: the first is an early B-17, stationed at Pearl Harbor in the summer of 1941; the second is a Seversky 'Convoy Fighter', one of twenty sold in 1938 to the Japanese Navy ( with some great scandal when the knowledge became public ), and operated in China during 1939.

This is a Dewoitine 510, a French fighter sold to the Chinese in 1938; the one depicted is the only example of the type to have shot down an enemy aircraft ( which had on board the chief of Japanese navy bombing aviation, as it happened ).

This is the Breguet AG-4 ( only two were ever made ), used in a flight from Paris on September 2, 1914, during which was detected the first signs of the German Gen. von Kluck's turning to pass east of Paris, which led to the Battle of Marne. The model is scratch-built.

This is perhaps the most colorful: a German Albatross DV, of Jasta 4.

This is the Morane-Saulnier Type N militaire, a prototype, flown by Sgt. Gilbert ( a former test pilot for the company ), in May and June of 1915. It is the first scratch-built model I ever made.
