Allen0820 Posted April 23, 2025 #101 Posted April 23, 2025 Fantastic collection! Thanks for sharing. I am intensely JEALOUS! Good work! 👍
TPA Posted January 4 #102 Posted January 4 Yesterday, after a three month delay, I finally got to see and buy these. I’m keeping the planes in this thread. I hope no one minds. I know absolutely zero/bupkis about these. I did see the ‘C’ in the circle on a good many of them. I don’t know what I can use to clean them. Some of them have a lot of dirt/dust on them. Some have heat damage. I figured I would do a couple of general pictures on this first post. Perhaps Warguy, or someone else, can tell me if soap and water, Windex or something else can be used to clean them. I collect German WW2 Wehrmacht related militaria myself. When you advertise for that, as you gentlemen know, you get anything and everything. The rules on the Wehrmacht Militaria Forum, where I normally hang out, says that sales should only be made on the Sales Stand. I am going to try to sell these through your equivalent forum and/or take them to the SOS, which is in 28 days. If someone contacts me here, I’ll tell them that they have to wait till I list them up for sale or to see me at the SOS. Thanx, Tim Alexander
warguy Posted January 4 Author #104 Posted January 4 Very nice find! They all look original, but of course close ups really help. The shots you took of the Francis clearly depict an original Cruver spotter model. Congrats, looking forward to more pics!
TPA Posted January 4 #105 Posted January 4 German Heinkel 115K Float Plane. A little heat damage and slight bend to fuselage going towards tail. Biggest plane I got.
TPA Posted January 4 #106 Posted January 4 Another float plane Japanese Exp.Paul Dec. 1944 I do not see a C on this one. At least, it’s not visible to me.
TPA Posted January 4 #107 Posted January 4 German Heinkel 111 ‘C’ 9-42 Small piece missing trailing edge left wing
TPA Posted January 4 #115 Posted January 4 Japanese Mitsubishi T98 Bomber 42 July ’Japanese’ in box? Something under T-98
warguy Posted January 5 Author #116 Posted January 5 All look great. Really appreciate you posting them. I like the larger float plane. Even with the heat damage, it looks like all the small parts are there which is rare for these with floats.
TPA Posted January 5 #117 Posted January 5 German Heinkel 113 ’C’ 9-42 And I’ve got about 14 more to go . The ones at the end will be the more heavily damaged from heat and a couple in pieces. I was disappointed to see a Storch in pieces!
TPA Posted January 5 #120 Posted January 5 P-51 ‘US’ in box JUNE 42 ‘C’ Some heat damage in area of fuselage around canopy.
TPA Posted January 5 #121 Posted January 5 An interlude. The broken ones. Top to Bottom: Japanese Oscar HE 112 Storch Henschel 123 I’m not throwing these out. Maybe someone will want them??? Now back to the ones that are still whole.
TPA Posted January 5 #122 Posted January 5 British Supermarine Spitfire ’C’ 8-42 A little heat warping in the fuselage towards the tail and a nip out of the far left wing.
