A Balbo at Duxford. (Balbo - RAF slang for a large formation, named after Italo Balbo, the Italian Air Marshall who loved to lead huge formations of aircraft in the 1930's).

Western Miniatures also has flats of WWII aircraft.  Check it out here:

Look under "aircraft" at the end of the page.

I have never been to that Air Show. You need to visit the Virginia  Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach. I volunteered there before I moved down to FL :-\ We had two shows there World War I & II  More then half of the planes flew.  P40  P51 B25 J  Yak 9 Spitfire Hurricane  ME 109 FW 190 JU 52 ME 262  Mosquito , Typhoon. . The World War I section we had A Nieuport  17   Fokker DR 1 and  Fokker Dr VII  Albatros D.III.  I would like to see more planes Western has a big section of World War I planes. :o Willie

I used to go to Duxford air shows but too far away now. You can do flats and aircraft together see Western Miniatures catalogue http://www.intflatfigures.org/BFFS/Vendor%20Catalog/Western/. Heinrichsen also do flat figures of First World War aircraft in their tin airforce series. Photo of mustang at Duxford attached.

 Hello,
I am very fond of the thin flat figures but not only. I am too an enthusiast of the old airplanes, particularly of the warbirds. This year I have the plan of attending the Duxford show in July.
Does anyone amongst you go to this event ?
