NOTICE TO ALL CUSTOMERS !!! The big move did not fair as well as hoped and I have fallen way behind on setting back up. The caster is also behind schedule on the 2nd batch of P-40 tailplanes and some new items. I am also having email problems an do not receive some emails in a timely manner if at all. Please be patient and contact me through the Large Scale Planes discussion board if you have any questions about ordering or a past order.

NEW 1/32nd scale ITEMS : louvered panel for Fw190A-3/4, P-40C/Tommahawk I drop tank, Seafire Mk II / III / early Mk XV "A" frame tailhook and bits,100 gal. and 50 gal. Mosquito slipper wing tanks, F4U Brewster Duramold drop tank,& P-36 / Mohawk spinners (2 styles) for those who purchased the great Cutting Edge conversion for the Trumpeter P-40 B kit.


The 1/32nd line of Obscureco resin bits is still in stock! See pricelist for details.


IN THE WORKS:

Spitfire center wing section to be used in conjuction with Warbirds Productions/MDC Spitfire universal "C" wings, correct bubble canopy for late Mk Spitfires, F4U Birdcage conversion, and P-35A / J9 conversion for the Williams Bros. kit.

The Brewster Buffalo B-239 as well as the other versions is put on hold until I know for sure if the rumored injection kits are coming out. I have also made some price changes and adjustments to the remaining inventory of Warbirds Productions items.

A Short History of Warbird Models, USA

WARBIRD MODELS, USA started out as an importer & distributer of Warbird Productions products from England. My background is research and development model maker as well as a few years as an architectural model maker. I've been building model airplanes since my 7th birthday back in 1960. Once Revell came out with their 1/32nd scale line I knew that was the scale for me. With an exceptional contract build in others scales, my model airplane building is confined to 1/32nd scale / WW II era subjects. In the early 1980's I purchased the rights to Horizon Vacuform conversions and started Accu-Scale / Horizon. I sold off most of the masters about 6 to 8 years ago when in dire financial straights. Boy, am I kicking myself now !!! If I had only known 1/32nd scale would make such a comeback !!
Some of you may also know me from the Dinosaur Studio. Dinosaurs are another passion of mine.
