Latest Military arrival

[Danio1988]

I’m surprised we don’t have a thread showing your latest military arrivals to your collection like we do with the 1:200 and 1:400 civil stuff, so I thought I would start one off because why not?

So show us what you‘ve got! Any scale I thought could go in here as military isn’t high up on many people’s lists

I can kick it off with the GJ 1:400 E4-B from the USAF. Got it with Air Force 1 coming out soon in the same scale and could be the one I saw at RIAT last year at Fairford in the UK!

Great idea! This might be more at home in the Military Models subforum, @redriveraviation or @freightalley could you please move it there?

The Herpa 1:200 ‘Blackjack‘ Typhoon from the RAF 2022/23 Typhoon Display Team. Great colour scheme

 

[Danio1988]

Models 204, 205 and 206 and the first models of 2024. 1/48 Spitfire and Hurricane and 1/72 Typhoon all from HobbyMaster. My first models from them and I’m impressed!

Models 208 and 209. Clearly military Monday!

Model 211 and my 4th purchase from HobbyMaster! RAF F-35B In 1/72 scale. I have all the bits like undercarriage and ammunition with it but I couldn’t be bothered to set it up with a house move upcoming so it’s the bare model

Hi, I just joined today but have been a collector since the late 90's, and some people might know me from Wings900 or 400ScaleHangar with the same user name. I had a longer break but recently added some new models to fill some gaps (esp. new a/c types including some military models.)

@Danio1988 nice collection. The B-1 and B-52 are impressive models, got a B-1 from Dragon Wings but have yet to get a B-52.

Today I post pictures of one of my recent purchases, the GeminiMACS Luftwaffe A400M Atlas "Air Defender 2023", a really marvelous model in my opinion:



















You can click on the pictures to see them even larger on flickr.

beautiful model! I believe Air Defender 23 was held in Germany wasn’t it? Wish the RAF would do something like this

The multinational/NATO air operations exercise Air Defender '23 was held mainly in Germany, but also in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. The German army has a website with details, also some pictures of the real A400 and other a/c and short films: https://www.bundeswehr.de/de/organisation/luftwaffe/team-luftwaffe-auf-uebung/air-defender-23-

Today I post pics of an older model. Hope you don't mind, as there are not so many posts in this thread anyway.

It's the Herpa Wings USAF C-130

Here are all my recent Gemini Macs arrivals. The Luftwaffe A321 was a special offer, just 26.95€ @Aviation Center Berlin. Last time I checked it was still available for 27.95€. More photos will come after my trip.

Had this little beauty turn up today. Having seen them at RIAT for the last 7/8 years (apart from 2 Covid cancelled years) I thought I must buy one.

Herpa 1:200 F-5E Tiger II from the Patrouille Suisse Display Team. This year (or 2025 can’t remember which) could be their final year displaying whilst the Swiss Government decide whether to merge them with another Swiss display team or dispand them altogether.

As I don't have the time to take photos of my new arrivals, I post pics of an older model, this time the Dragon Wings C5 Galaxy:

4 new arrivals, all from Hogan’s 1:200 range. F14 Tomcat, F18 Hornet, F4 Phantom and EA-6B Prowler - all US Navy examples.

The newest Herpa 1:200 fighter, a Luftwaffe Tornado "Air Defender 2023" arrived yesterday:

Still thinking about adding this one. Photographed it a couple times last year.
Here on a sporty arrival at my homebase:
