2Step Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Building 1/72 kits of the German naval aviation pretty much oob is a kind of a hobby of mine (pun intended) compared to the 1/48 kits which get much more attention. Also, they go with my 1/144 German navy ships .... Here's the collection so far: Lets start with the biggest (and I noticed how big when putting it beside a 1/72 Lancaster that I build as a kid!!) staying with the sub hunters, and same profession the fighters and the final one is admittingly a "what if" (by the time this bird was introduced, the navy had passed their jet aviation to the Luftwaffe ) the liaison and transports ... two more rotary wings ... >>>>> and yes, I just noted the typo in the picture >>>>> and as an appetizer, in 1/44 the embarked chopper for the LST which I still need to build one day I probably will post the ships in the appropriate section .... GO NAVY!!! As always, thanks for looking! (and please keep in mind, some of these kits were built like 30 years ago) Edited October 14, 2019 by 2Step 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reini Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 That is impressive collection! You don't happen to have any kind of group photo of them? Very cool to have so many planes that are part of a bigger thing. I'm hoping to have similar collection one day - just on a different subject matter (Finnish Air Force).

Adam Poultney Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Amazing! Do you know which kit the Eurofighter is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc72 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Cool, Marineflieger are the best! I like the heavy weathering on the Tornado. In terms of what-if you are missing the F-35C. I think that is what they really dream of at the German Navy, probably embarked on somebody else's (or a European) carrier. Most likely just a dream.

spiton Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Great collection. I like Dornier airplane designe after war !! They have style ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Step Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 @Adam Poultney the kit is Revell Germany, the decals are leftovers... @Doc72 I don't think we can afford the F 35. My guess ist that it's going to be between a modified Eurofighter or the F-18 - now that could be a Marineflieger again Longterm it will be the FCAS (Future Combat Aircraft system) which could be anything, even a drone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Very good collection - and all very nicely built and painted too! For me, 1/72 is THE scale - but that is just my preference. Excellent work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hello Step, Very impressive collection. Always good to see the German Atlantic. This type served the Navy so well for so many years. Regards, Dirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Step Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 @Orion Yep, that was cool bird. I had once a chance to fly in it ... Too bad we had to exchange it for the Orion (no offense to your forum name, Dirk 😉) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
