Antti_K Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 A most impressive collection Alain! Lovely work. I especially like the MS406s, Hurricanes (my grandfather used to fly them during the Winter War) and DC-2s. You have created a collection many modellers here in Finland say is impossible to do. Is there any types still missing from your "Finnish Air Force"? Cheers, Antti 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vingtor Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Nice collection. I have always thought of the Finnish Air Force as interesting, due to the variety of aircraft, and their own camouflage scheme. One of your Gladiators is actually a Swedish Air Force aircraft though, but in Finnish markings. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also 2 Swedish Hawker Hart in Finnish color. Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Wow, what a collection of Finnish aircraft! Are all these from the Winter and Continuation Wars? Best Regards, Jason P.S. On my part at least, please feel free to post your 'Russian' collection. Remember it was really Soviet, not 'Russian', and had nothing to do with the present unfortunate situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obdl3945 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 A lovely collection, Macalain... I knew Finland used many aircraft from different countires, but only when I see your collection do I really appreciate just how many. I may have missed it, but shouldn't there perhaps also be - or is there already - an Italian Fiat G.50 in your collection? I went back and double-checked, but I couldn't see one. They had smart colour schemes applied to them. I like the Morane-Saulnier Ms406s, and the Dornier Do22... ;-). Regards, Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Paul Thank you, yes, I had already post 3 other Finnish Air Force planes, with Fiat, other Morane, 406, 410, Mokro Morani, Hurricane, Bf 109, and a lot of Buffalo's. The first is 7 or 8 weeks ago. I post usualy ones a week. Take courage to go back a few pages. Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
