Beautiful additions. I really like the DH 88.

Very nice additions, a family picture would be appreciated, and you may classify them as: Post WW II, Small racers, endurance, etc. Like your last two additions,
Muy bien!

Thank you for your comments.
Now a weird and ill fated model: the Pond racer.

Another of Bert Rutan's fantastic oddities. I think the guy is amazing even if his strike rate is not 100%. Looks fantastic.

This one looks weird but is still pretty. I didn't know the original had crashed.

How about a model of his Boomerang.

I think his hit rate is close to 100% but he is a designer not a manufacturer so most are specialist one offs or very low quantity.

To finish, the weird Piaggio PC7.

A Kampflieger model.
Tomorrow, pictures of all the racers together.

I'm afraid my shaking hands would destroy that just picking it up never mind trying to build it.

Excellent work on all your models Jan, I never cease to be amazed.

-Aircraft of the european races before the war:

-Aircraft of endurance races:

-Aircraft of american races post WWII:

-Aircraft of american races between the wars:
