CNQ, these "Rabbit Club" figures are nice to display with carrier aircraft on deck:

There are actually two distinct sets of five figures, but I could only find the second on ebay.

Here are the two sets together:

hey thanks Moe. Those are very nice figures. Are they pre-assembled/pre-painted ?
The figures in my dio are made by Fujimi and they also included the fire truck in the package but you have to assemble and paint them.

They are pre-painted. The bases are a little thick for my taste, but the figures could always be cut off and glued to acetate sheet (and the new bases perhaps then painted). I believe that I got the sets on ebay for about $25 each shipped.

Witty Wing 1/72 F18 Super Hornet

 

[ivanmoe]

Witty made so many beautiful "super bugs." A lot of collectors believe that HM's yet-to-be-released version will blow them out of the water, but I've got my doubts. Nice display!

Thanks.
I'm quite happy with Witty especially at half the price compare to HM models.

Rec'd the TGM FE2, and she's huge, 19.5" wingspan. Beautiful detailing. Chris

What a beauty! It is a big one, eh? Detail looks really good and that complicated rigging scheme looks really well done. TGM really is doing a magnificent job with their 2-seaters and this FE2 is one of their best. Congratulations, Chris. -- Al

I hate to keep repeating myself, but wooden models have certainly come a long way!

Nice one, Chris.

All those kits are completely obsolete since many years
You're a lucky guy

The Hinchliffe are 75 mm sculpted by Ray Lamb circa 1973-74, perfect sculpt ( heads were a bit to big for the scale ), perfect fitting . With those kits, he had set the standard of quality that everybody tried to reach from then .
And.. if you have some old mounted Imrie Risley figures in those packs, then I'm already crying for you; the assembly of the horse was/is very difficult, you will need tons of putty .

No Imrie-Risleys Mirof and no missing parts.

A couple of manufacturers I have not come across before- Labayen and Superior Models. Will post some images of the kits when I start them. They may be of interest to others.

I agree about the Ray Lamb sculpts. The way the components fit together they are almost engineered.

Labayen was a Spanish maker of figuines from1962, begin of the 70ies . He sold first only mounted painted figures and end of the 70ies begon to sell in kit almost to he years 2000. The studio painting was of the highest level reached only today (50 years later ) by Russian studios . ( I almost forgot : IMHO )
Here a typical painting studio :


Superior Models was an US company from 1967 ( Delaware ), they made in 54mm a superb Skoda canon wih crew ( among lot of other thnks ) but also made 90mm figures sculpted by Ray Lamb ( US ) not the Ray Lamb from UK
He sculpted for them some " normal" figures, but also a range of fantasy, and a range of undressed women
Here a 90mm I painted in the 70ies
