Captured Beauties

All models this page $2.75 (US) unless otherwise noted.

A new series depicting captured aircraft in service to the "other side". Starting off this new series will be the P-47D

Order reference number: 02-wp-P-47D-01

Our first offering of the Captured Beauties is the P47D "Beetle". One of the worst stories of bad luck to come from a P47D pilot has to be the tale of how this plane ended up in the enemies' hands. "Click" on picture.

Order reference number: 02-wp-B5N2-01

Second in this series is the Nakajima B5N2 Kate. Pictures and data on this aircraft are scarce. Using photos of other aircraft, we pieced together some of the trim painting so this particular livery may not be 100 percent accurate but we believe it to be very close. In any event, it is a very nice model and can be constructed with reasonable skills

Order reference number: 02-wp-P-47D-02

Our third release in this series is the P-47D T9+LK

Order reference number: 02-wp-P-51B-01

Another new craft in the on going series is the P-51B T9+CK

Order reference number: 02-wp-Ki-44-01

Japanese Army fighter plane as tested by the TAIC, South-West Pacific Area

Order reference number: 05-wp-cw21b-01

And now, the first War Prize model from Roman Vasilyev (Kampfflieger), a little known Curtiss-Wright CW-21B. Captured and tested by the Japanese and tested at the Tachikawa Test Center at Singapore in May, 1943.

This time we have the plane that was secretly shipped to the US, painted to represent a different aircraft, tested, restored to it's original livery and returned. Interesting story :-) from the early days of the Cold War Era.

When the German Army took over Latvia, they used anything possible to add to their war machine. This included aircraft. If it was something that had little value as a weapon then it was used as either a trainer, shuttle or recreational craft. And so was the end use of the best plane designed by Karl Irbitis, one of Latvia's great designers. As a production plane it would have had retractable gear among other refinements. Sadly, only three of this craft were built.

Soviet Forces Tested the Latvian fighter as well. 05-VEF-16-02
