Before Plastic Models.

I found this quite by accident, but found it very interesting and I thought others here might as well.


The WOODASON AIRCRAFT MODELS COMPANY - Est. 1932


Check out this Link to see alot more awesome models and company history: CollectAir

The company made completed and very detailed models made out of wood.










(NB: Both models have fully functioning retractable landing gear.)


Cheers,
Dave

Re: Before Plastic Models.

They sure are amazing.

I'm not really a fan of the Ju-88, but that massive one would look great hanging from my hobby shed's ceiling.


Cheers,
Dave
