Thanks Tom! I hoping to add two more Heco sets as soon as next week.:smile2:

The gentlemen from whom I obtained the RAF Groundcrew set sent me photos of a Heco Tinplate Nissan Hut, but one with the brick from and rear walls (a type I had not yet obtained). I agreed to purchase it, and he is trying to lay his hands on another Heco figure set he has.:smile2:

Picking up the Nissan Hut tomorrow, and hopefully another Heco figure set as well.:wink2:

Got the brick-fronted Nissen Hut today. Also picked up a nice Toy Army Workshop horsedrawn supply cart, some old glossy K&C Afghans and an old K&C Flying Tiger Pilot figure.:smile2:

I sent Brad and Terry three photos with a polite request that one of them post them on this thread.:smile2: The photos depict my new Heco brick-fronted nissan hut, with a Heco general service truck, Heco RAF Pilot, crew chief and ground crew. In the background, there are some other Heco and K&C aircraft, figures and a Heco tower with a windsock.


By the way, did you notice the shadow on the back wall? That's a real shadow of one of the Heco planes I have hanging from fishing line above the airfield. Can one of you expert's identify the plane from its shadow?:wink2:

Louis, from the shape of the wings, wing tips, and horozontal stabilizer, it looks to be an Albatros of some sort, meaning I can't tell if it is a single seat fighter or 2-seat recon craft, from the angle of the shadow. -- Al

Al,

I took a look. Its a single seater fighter version of the Albatros DV. Good eye!:smile2:

Thanks Louis. I should have realized it would be the iconic single seat fighter. Albatros fighters, from the D-I thru the D-Va, were in front line service from autumn 1916 thru the end of the war. They were a mainstay of German air strength. -- Al

An amazing model. I don't collect HECO, but that boat is one model I would love to have.
