Drawings are one thing. You can repro one off the internet or any of a myriad aircraft books. Show me the METAL. The metal is what will sell it. Or not...
And a size or scale would be good for those of us who aren't familiar with the line.
 
Jus' sayin'

Not sure of the scale Glen, but rest assured the metal is far better than the drawings. They are superb.

I believe these are also Western Miniatures as well - from Mike 'Cannock' Taylor's Gallery:

I personally have a large chunk of Dick Jenkins figures in my collection including two planes, WWI in my case, all have been flawless designs and castings.

 I've done a few of these (WW I aircraft) and they are very nice pieces. I like the 3/4 view the best, as it allows for more interesting shadows and paint-up.

I have a couple of these as well, beautiful engravings/castings - interesting challenge.


The Taube and E III and then DH-2 would be appropriate to the early war time period with the others coming in later years.

Western Miniatures by Dick Jenkins were never constant scale.
I gave him all my copies of Aircraft of the Fighting Powers and
he copied them straight off the pages.
