Hi Peter. I hadn't been to Derek's website for a while. He's really added to his line of airplane profile kits. I have three of his 1:100 scale kits (including the much lamented Avro Arrow) which I've assembled as desk toys. They are good looking, inexpensive, and go together well. The 1:66 line looks to have more of a 3-D look to them although I expect most model railroaders using them as layout scenery might want to add additional detailing.
Also check out his HO scale RR line as well. Some of his HO boats might work in S and his wheel stops look closer to S scale than HO, although Derek claims they are correctly sized. Belated compliments on your latest website postings. It's always fun to watch someone else work. Cheers Jim Martin ________________________________ From: Peter Vanvliet <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, July 23, 2012 6:46:40 PM Subject: {S-Scale List} Model Airplanes/Boats Web Site Link For those interested in adding a model airplane to your layout, I just stumbled across this web page: http://www.osbornmodelkits.com/militaryjetcollection.htm The bottom 1/4 of the page shows 1:66 scale airplane kits (note that the last one is O-scale). They also carry O-scale small boats, which might be usable in S: http://www.osbornmodelkits.com/O_scale_railroad.htm I've never had any interaction with this Canadian company. It is just FYI.
